THE ATTITUDES OF RURAL POPULATION WITH UNCERTAIN INCOME ON THE LABOUR MARKET

Abstract

The article discusses the attitudes of rural population with uncertain income on the labour market. It pays attention to the main source of income in the group under investigation and the influence of education on the occupational activity. The respondents were observed to exhibit mostly passive and conservative attitudes, which were manifested with their poor engagement in searching for employment and with their lack of willingness, skills and ideas for their own business. The authors also observed the growth of unfavourable attitudes among the population without permanent employment, such as the demanding attitude and withdrawal. The article presents the reasons why the people do not look for a job and their attitudes on the labour market. An important element of the article is the perception of the respondents' existence in comparison with members of other households and the methods of coping with the unfavourable living situation.
