Abstract

V magistrskem delu sem se podrobneje spoznala s pojmom revščine in socialne izključenosti. Poskušala sem dobiti vpogled v življenje in del doživljanja svojega položaja revnih družin z otroki iz projekta Botrstvo. V teoretičnem delu obširno predstavim revščino. V prvem podpoglavju najprej opišem različne definicije in vrste revščine ter tri različne pristope merjenja revščine. Nato opišem vedno bolj pogost fenomen pri nas in v tujini – revne zaposlene, kasneje pa navedem kakšna stopnja revščine je bila zabeležena v začetku leta 2015 v Sloveniji. Sledi podpoglavje o revščini in družinah, kjer opišem različne vidike življenja v družini (finančni in stanovanjski položaj, prehrano in zdravje, socialno oporo, prosti čas in samopodobo). Pomembni so tudi otroci in njihovo doživljanje revščine, zato eno podpoglavje namenim revščini in otrokom, kjer spregovorim o šoli in vrstnikih. Naslednje obsežno poglavje je socialna izključenost, kjer pojem najprej opredelim in opišem načine merjenja izključenosti ter jo primerjam s pojmom revščine. Teoretični del se konča s poglavjem predstavitve dobrodelnih organizacij v Sloveniji, konkretneje o štirih organizacijah in sicer: (Slovenska) Karitas, Rdečem križu, Anini zvezdici in nenazadnje o projektu Botrstvo, ki je tudi glavna organizacija oziroma program, na katerem je osnovana moja raziskava. Empirični del temelji na kvalitativnem raziskovanju, saj moj vzorec predstavlja deset zgodb družin z otroki iz projekta Botrstvo in delno strukturiran intervju z gospo Anito Ogulin. V empiričnem delu ugotavljam kako starši in otroci doživljajo svoj položaj/revščino, kakšne zdravstvene težave jih pestijo in kakšna je njihova samopodoba. Pomembno mi je bilo tudi kako starši doživljajo svoje otroke in obratno, kakšen pomen ima zanje socialna izključenost in kakšne podpore so v življenju deležni. Ugotavljam, da tako starši kot otroci svoj položaj doživljajo podobno, to je slabo in se ga sramujejo. Težave z zdravjem nastopajo pri starših in otrocih, kar je v največji meri posledica pomanjkanja (zdrave) prehrane in stresnega življenja. Samopodoba vseh v družini je vse prej kot dobra, saj kljub trudu ni napredka na bolje (tako pri zaposlitvi staršev kot pri šolskem delu otrok). Starši doživljajo otroke pogosto kot breme ter obžalujejo, da jim ne morejo privoščiti boljšega življenja, prav tako se vse slabo v družini odraža na otrokovem vedenju. Socialna izključenost ima negativen pomen za vse v družini, saj je njihova socialna mreža zelo šibka in mnogi nimajo pravzaprav nobenega pomembnega drugega, s katerim bi lahko delili svoje težave. Podpore, ki so je deležne družine v projektu Botrstvo, so v prvi vrsti materialne, finančne in moralne narave. Poleg vsega jim usposobljeni strokovnjaki nudijo tudi brezplačno pravno in psihosocialno pomoč na enem mestu, učno pomoč za otroke, štipendiranje ipd. Magistrsko delo lahko služi v pomoč vsem socialnim pedagogom in drugim strokovnjakom, ki se na svoji poklicni poti srečujejo z revnimi družinami, saj predstavi revščino in socialno izključenost z drugačnega vidika – z vidika revnih družin z otroki, ki sodelujejo v projektu Botrstvo, kar je v slovenskem prostoru na tak način predstavljeno prvič. V delu so predstavljene smernice, ki nakazujejo, kaj vse je v Sloveniji še potrebno spremeniti, kje družine najbolj potrebujejo našo pomoč in kje se še vedno pojavljajo težave.

Secondary title: Poverty and social exclusion in godparenting stories (the »Botrstvo«)
Secondary abstract: In my Master's thesis I familiarized myself more with the notion of poverty and social exclusion. I tried to get an insight into the life and experience of the position of poor families with children from the project Botrstvo. In the theoretical part I present poverty in a wide aspect. In the first subchapter I first describe different definitions, types of poverty and three different approaches to measuring poverty. Then I write about a common phenomenon in Slovenia and abroad – the poor and employed, later I state what level of poverty was recorded in the beginning of 2015 in Slovenia. This is followed by a subchapter about poverty and families, where I describe different aspects of living in a family (financial and accommodation situation, diet and health, social support, leisure and self-image). The children and their experiencing of poverty is also important, therefore I dedicate a subchapter to poverty and children, where I write about school and peers. Next comprehensive chapter is social exclusion, where I initially define the notion and describe the ways of measuring exclusion and compare it to the notion of poverty. The theoretical part ends with a chapter on introducing charity organizations in Slovenia, where I briefly talk about four organizations: (Slovenska) Karitas, Red Cross, Anina zvezdica and last but not least the project Botrstvo, which is also the main organization or program on which my research is based. The empirical part is based on qualitative research, as my sample form ten stories of families with children from the project Botrstvo and a partially structured interview with Mrs Anita Ogulin. In the empirical part I observe how parents and children experience their situation/poverty, which medical issues they are facing and what is their self-image like. It was also of big importance for me to find out how parents experience their children and vice versa, what kind of role does the social exclusion play for them and what kind of support they receive during their life. I note that parents as well as their children experience their situation similarly. The situation is poor and they are ashamed of it. Health issues occur with both parents and children, which is mostly due to the lack of (healthy) diet and a stressful life. The self-image of all family members is anything but good, since despite the effort there is no progress (in parents' employment nor at children's school work). Often, parents experience their children as a burden and are frustrated about not being able to provide a better life for them. All family troubles reflect on children's behaviour as well. Social exclusion has a negative meaning for everyone in the family, as their social network is extremely weak and many of them do not even have a significant other with whom they could share their problems. The support, which families from the project Botrstvo are receiving are material, financial and moral in nature. In addition, qualified experts offer them free legal and psycho-social assistance in one place, learning assistance for children, scholarships, etc. This Master's thesis can be helpful to all social pedagogues and other experts, who meet with poor families in their professional career, as it presents poverty and social exclusion from a different point of view – the view of poor families with children, who participate in the project Botrstvo. This is the first time this issue has been presented in such a way in Slovenia. In my thesis I present trends, which indicate what has yet to be changed in Slovenia, where families need our help most and where problems still occur.
