Fenomén bezdomovectví: Případová studie klientů organizace Naděje

Abstract

In this article the author contributes to a sociological perspective of the unemployment of the people without a home. He postulates that education has the strongest eff ect on the level of unemployment of people without a home. This relationship between unemployment of this specifi c social group and the education is controlled by a set of independent variables. Assumptions are focused on the infl uence of sex, age, marital status, family background, education and a number of children. Six hypotheses are tested using OLS regression and logistic regression. Results are compared and generalized to a population of clients of the Naděje organization, which provides help and support for homeless people. This analysis uses a data set collected by the organization. Results confi rm some hypotheses and contribute to a point of view regarding unemployment of homeless people infl uenced by the same factors as in the majority population, but there are also several exceptions in specifi c populations of the Naděje organization’s clients, especially in the case of education.
