Abstract Glavni cilj ovog rada je istraživanje kretanja nejednakosti u Republici Hrvatskoj. Nejednakost je tema koja je za istraživanja vrlo bitna. Ona, s jedne strane, može biti poticajna za bolji rad, za investicije u obrazovanje, te investicije općenito, ali samo ako je rezultat razlika u tržišnim ishodima, odnosno razlika u proizvodnosti. S druge strane, ako je ima previše, smanjuje prozvodnost jer onemogućuje obrazovanje sposobnih siromašnih osoba, donosi političku nesigurnost te smanjuje potencijalnu domaću potrošnju važnu za razvoj ekonomije.
Na nacionalnoj razini nejednakosti se pridaje slaba pažnja. Neki od razloga tome su teškoća prikupljanja podataka, postojanje prevladajućeg mišljenja struke da se time ne isplati baviti te ideološki razlozi da to kao tema nije problem pa se time i ne treba baviti. Također, o nejednakosti se dosta govori ali se zapravo malo zna i zbog toga se nejednakost bazira na slici umirovljenika koji kopa po kontejneru kao jednom ekstremu i nekog s vrlo skupim autom kao drugom ekstremu. Međutim, bitno je vidjeti i što se događa s preostalih 90% koje nije moguće svrstati u ekstreme.
Za analizu nejednakosti na razini država mogu poslužiti ankete o potrošnji kućanstava koje se provode svakih pet godina. Anketa o potrošnji kućanstava iz 1998. godine poslužila je Svjetskoj banci za opsežno istraživanje nejednakosti i siromaštva u Hrvatskoj. Kako bi se dobio pokazatelj blagostanja koji realnije odražava razlike u ekonomskom položaju kućanstava različite veličine, za svako kućanstvo prikupljeni su podaci o njegovu ukupno raspoloživom dohotku koji je podijeljen brojem članova te je tako za svako kućanstvo izračunat prosječan dohodak po članu kućanstva kao osnovna varijabla u analizi.
Osim istraživanja provedenih na temelju Anketa o potrošnji kućanstava, nejednakost u Hrvatskoj dosad nije posebno istraživana. Prvo cjelovito istraživanje provedeno je od strane Sindikata znanosti 2017. god. Kao mjera nejednakosti odabrane su plaće zato što za plaće postoje dostupni podaci, za razliku od podataka o dohotcima ili imovini. Plaće su ujedno i osnovni izvor dohotka stanovništva, određuju veličinu i strukturu potrošnje, govore o alokativnoj efikasnosti tržišta rada, daju naznake o efektima obrazovanja i brojnim drugim karakteristikama pojedinca. Plaće su također i odrednica buduće nejednakosti pojedinca te o njima ovise mirovine.
Abstract (english) The main objective of this thesis is a research on inequality in Republic of Croatia. Inequality is an important research topic. On the one hand inequality can stimulate better work, investment in education and investment in general, but only if it results in market outcome, i.e. it results in difference in productivity. On the other hand, too much inequality reduces productivity because it prevents education of poor people, it brings political instability and it reduces potential domestic consumption important for the development of economy.
On a national level inequality is getting insufficient attention. Some of the reasons for that are: difficulty in collecting data, the majority of experts thinks that it doesn't pay off to analyze this topic, there are ideological reasons not to view inequality as a problem so it shouldn't be treated as such. Moreover, inequality is often spoken of, but very little is actually known about it and because of this when talking about inequality many people imagine pensioners picking through garbage cans as one extreme and someone with expensive car as the other extreme. However, it is important to see what is happening with other 90% of the cases that don't belong to extremes.
Surveys of household consumption that are performed every five years can be used for analysis on the level of countries. Survey of household consumption from 1998. was used by the World Bank for an extensive research of inequality and poverty in Croatia. To get the indicator of well-being that more realistically reflects differences in economic position of households of various sizes, for each household data was gathered about total available income which was divided by number of household members so for each household average income per member was calculated as a basic variable in analysis.
Except for the research based on Survey of household consumption, inequality in Croatia was not researched until now. First comprehensive research was carried out by the Union of Science in 2017. Salaries were chosen as a measure of inequality because there is available data, unlike the data about income or possession, which is not available. Salaries are also main source of population's income, they determine volume and structure of consumption, they are indicative of allocating efficiency of labor market. Salaries show effects of education and countless other characteristics of individuals. Salaries are decisive of future inequality of individuals and pensions depend on them.
