YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

142 The Figure above shows that there have been no significant changes in job satisfaction over the last two decades, with the exception of a few categories. For example, in 2020 (compared to 2010), there is an increase in the share of young people who consider their work to be underpaid boring, and their working climate to be poor. The level of agreement with the statement that young people’s rights are violated at work has also increased compared to 2010. Positive changes were therefore only ob- served in the element of valuing the work that young people do and the opportunities for promotion at work. Those young people, who do work, report an average weekly workload of 36.4 hours per week, which is close to that of full-time employment (40 hours per week). Of particular interest here is the relatively high hourly workload reported by the unemployed (33.3 hours per week) and those still actively engaged in education (cf. the information on self-reported unemployment and involvement in education in Table 3.1) . This shows that ‘student work’ is still ‘abused’, as the hourly workload of this group exceeds that of part-time workers.
