Sažetak
In the context of contemporary discussions about the post-industrial, post-fordist, risk and networked societies of advanced capitalism, special attention is directed towards analyzing the issue of transformation od work. Young people are especially exposed to work transformations, various insecurities and uncertainties on the labor market, an increase in non-standard forms of work and precarious employment, and an increase in unemployment. This has long-term negative effects on economic growth, and in the countries of the EU numerous financial programs try to find solutions for the quick and active inclusion of young people in the labour market. Therefore, special attention is directed towards the green economy, which is expected to solve or reduce the problem of youth unemployment. In those discussions about the effects of the green economy, proponents, skeptics and transformationalist can be distinguished: the first one, the solution to the problem of youth unemployment consider in the context of the development and opening of green jobs ; the second one, warn that the problems will remain unsolved as a result of capitalist conditions of production that do not comply with the conditions and priciples of sustainability ; the third one, indicate the necessary prerequisites such as the development of new knowledge and skills in the field of ecological literacy that need to be fulfilled in order to transform the world of labor in the direction of a green economy. Nevertheless, for numerous educational institutions and social actors in the EU, including the Republic of Croatia, these topics are still theoretically and empirically insufficiently represented.
