But we're three children and each of us is trying hard… My sister works through the student employment service; my brother is also trying hard… Given that we have these problems in the family it's gonna be tough… Plus it's hard to get a job nowadays.” 
Smo pa doma trije otroci in vsak se trudi… Sestra dela prek študenta, brat se tudi, trudi … Glede na to, da imamo te težave v družini, bo hudo… Pa še službo je danes težko dobiti.
“Financially I just do my best from day to day. 
»Finančno se prebijam iz dneva v dan.
I grab every opportunity that presents itself - promoting home-produced milk or grape picking, I take anything. 
Zgrabim vsako priložnost, ki se mi ponudi, pa če je to promocija domačega mleka ali pa trganje grozdja, vse vzamem.
Just to be able to help at home and have enough for a drink with my friends. 
Samo da lahko pomagam doma, pa če še kaj ostane za pijačo s kolegi.
But if things go on like this, I don't know how we'll manage… There's less and less turnover in catering and everything will go bust…” 
Če pa bo to šlo tako naprej, pa ne vem, kako se bomo znašli… Tudi v gostinstvu je vedno manj prometa in bo vse propadlo…«
“At the moment I'm moonlighting, I'm officially unemployed. 
»Trenutno delam na črno, sem brezposelna.
I'm not even listed with the Employment Service. 
Niti nisem na zavodu.
It doesn't make sense, they'd only give me a hard time, make me write applications and stuff… they tell me things I already know, I write applications on my own, but it's no good. 
Brez zveze se mi zdi bit na zavodu, tam bi mi težili, da pišem prošnje in podobno… govorijo mi stvari, ki jih že sama vem, sama pišem prošnje, samo to ne pomaga.
She sees her employment future as uncertain, but not necessarily negative: 
Svojo zaposlitveno prihodnost vidi sicer kot negotovo, vendar ne nujno negativno:
“I might stay in catering… if nothing else turns up… I like working with people, I like to have the contact and conversation, I like meeting different types of people… It's not hard, especially if the atmosphere is all right and the staff… but you have to be the right person for it. 
»Mogoče bom ostala v gostinstvu… če ne bo drugega… Rada pa delam z ljudmi, rada imam stik in se pogovarjam, rada srečujem različne tipe ljudi… To ni napor, pa sploh če je ozračje vredu in kolektiv… samo tip človeka moraš bit za to.
At the beginning I had doubts, but it's no big deal…” 
Na začetku sem bila malo skeptična za to, pa ni nič takega…»
According to Špela, most young people in Slovenia are faced with similar employment problems. 
Po Špelinih besedah se s podobno slabim položajem glede zaposlovanja srečuje večina mladih v Sloveniji.
In Špela's opinion, the main role of the state should be encouraging demand for labour and creating new jobs, which would pull young people out of unemployment: 
Vlogo države pri izboljšanju zaposlovanja mladih vidi predvsem v spodbujanju povpraševanja po delovni sili oziroma oblikovanju novih zaposlitvenih možnosti, ki bi mlade potegnile iz brezposelnosti:
However, for Špela unemployment does not mean she is idle or that she has a lot of spare time. 
Brezposelnost po Špelinih navedbah nikakor ne pomeni, da nima dela oziroma da ima prostega časa na pretek.
Her schedule is filled to the last minute, entirely divided between caring for her family and part-time jobs, which demand a great deal of availability and flexibility. 
Njen urnik je poln do zadnje minute, čas je v celoti razdeljen med skrb za družino in priložnostno delo, narava katerega od nje zahteva visoko stopnjo dostopnosti in prožnosti.
She has hardly any time left for a partnership or leisure activities. 
Časa za partnersko življenje oziroma prostočasne dejavnosti skoraj ne ostane.
Nevertheless, she manages to find some time for herself: 
Vseeno pa Špeli občasno uspe najti kaj časa zase:
“Flowers, flowers, yeah… I've always had a thing for flowers… And amateur acting. 
»Rože, rože, to pa ja… Že od nekdaj so me rože zanimale… Pa amatersko igralstvo.
I used to go to these workshops organised by the public fund. 
Hodila sem na delavnice, ki so bile organizirane prek javnega sklada.
They take place at some famous actor's, at the seaside, and last for a week. 
To se dogaja pri kakem znanem igralcu, na morju in traja en teden.
Being on the stage, it gives you a rush… you're on the stage, 200 hundred people are watching and you act out a role, although that isn't you… I like it a lot. 
To, da si na odru, ti da šus… da si na odru, gleda te 200 ljudi in ti odigraš svojo vlogo, čeprav to sploh nisi ti… to mi je zelo všeč.
There's a lot of people in the group and we're all about the same age… I like it that you can just switch offat rehearsals and become somebody else, and everybody takes you seriously…” 
V skupini je več ljudi in vsi smo približno isto stari… všeč mi je to, da se lahko na vajah odklopiš, da postaneš nekdo drug in da te vsi upoštevajo…«
For Špela, the role and importance of her family is crucial. 
Kot ključno Špela poudarja vlogo in pomen svoje družine.
In her perception, the members of her basic family are her mother, father, brother, sister and her boyfriend. 
Kot člane svoje primarne družine dojema mamo, očeta, brata, sestro in svojega fanta.
She believes that family is of the utmost importance for any individual, and ensures survival even in the most troubled times. 
Meni, da je družina za posameznika nujna in zagotavlja preživetje tudi v izjemno težavnih časih.
She claims she feels very good in her family: 
Sama pravi, da se v svoji družini počuti zelo dobro:
“Yeah, it's great… It seems to me we're more together as a family. 
»Ja, fajn je… Zdi se mi, ko da smo bolj skup skočli kot sama družina.
14.2 Andreja, 25, unemployed young mother 
14.2 Andreja, 25 let, brezposelna mlada mamica
Andreja lives in the vicinity of Maribor with her young family. 
Andreja živi s svojo mlado družino v okolici Maribora.
She is married to her long-time partner, and they have a 2-year-old daughter. 
Poročena je s svojim dolgoletnim partnerjem in imata dveletno hčerko.
At the moment she is unemployed, and she has also lost her student status since she discontinued her studies: 
Trenutno je brezposelna, izgubila pa je tudi status študentke, saj je študij prekinila:
“I'll probably never finish my studies, for the practical part of the course made me realise this wasn't for me. 
»Študija verjetno ne bom nikoli dokončala, in to zato, ker sem v praktičnem delu študija ugotovila, da to ni za mene.
It's sad when after four years of studying you figure out you've made a wrong decision. 
To je žalostno, da po štirih letih študija ugotoviš, da je bila odločitev napačna.
If they showed us in the first year what it was like to be a teacher, you could switch to something else, but at the end it's impossible. 
Če bi nam že v prvem letniku pokazali, kako je biti učitelj, bi imel možnost se preusmeriti, na koncu študija pa je to nemogoče.
Well, I had a good time in the practical work, the kids liked me, but I couldn't imagine that at 60 I'd still be writing on the blackboard. 
Na praksi sem se imela sicer fajn, otroci so me imeli radi, samo nisem si znala predstavljati, da bom še pri šestdesetih pisala na tablo.
She grew up in the centre of the town: 
Andreja je bila rojena v Mariboru, kjer je preživela tudi večino svojega otroštva.
In those days people used coal for heating everywhere… we also used coal, although we lived in a flat in the centre. 
V tistih časih se je še povsod kurilo na premog... tudi mi smo kurili na premog, pa smo živeli v stanovanju v centru mesta.
We lived in a rented flat, and then moved to Miklavž. 
Živeli smo v podnajemniškem stanovanju, potem pa smo se preselili v Miklavž.
The owner kept raising the rent, and my parents decided to buy something of their own. 
Lastnica je namreč zviševala najemnino in starši so se odločili, da bomo kupili nekaj svojega.
I was 13 years old and moving was a big shock for me. 
Bila sem stara 13 let in selitev je bila zame velik šok.
All my friends were in town. 
V mestu sem imela vse prijatelje.
The worst thing was when I saw we were moving into some old house. 
Najhujše mi je bilo, ko sem videla, da gremo živeti v neko staro hišo.
In town we lived in a fairly derelict block of flats, but the house was even worse. 
Že v mestu smo živeli v dokaj slabem bloku, to pa je bilo še slabše.
I was also afraid what my friends would think when they saw what sort of place I lived in.” 
Strah me je bilo tudi, kaj si bodo mislili moji prijatelji, kje da sem doma.
Eventually she grew used to the village and new neighbourhood. 
Sedmi in osmi razred osnovne šole je kljub selitvi v predmestje še vedno obiskovala v Mariboru.
Her family renovated the house and its surroundings, and Andreja grew fond of the place. 
Sčasoma se je navadila na novi kraj, novo sosesko, hišo in okolico so uredili in novi kraj ji je prirasel k srcu.
However, the majority of her social network remained connected to Maribor: 
Glavnina njene primarne socialne mreže pa je ostala povezana z Mariborom:
“All my friends were in Maribor. 
»Vsi moji prijatelji so ostali v Mariboru.
That's why I didn't go to school in Miklavž. 
Zato tudi nisem hodila v Miklavž v šolo.
After the primary school Andreja wanted to enrol in the First Grammar School in Maribor, but did not collect enough points for entry, so she enrolled in the Secondary School of Economics. 
Po končani osnovni šoli se je hotela vpisati na 1. gimnazijo, pa ni zbrala dovolj točk za vpis, uspelo pa se ji je vpisati na ekonomsko gimnazijo.
This further affected contacts with her friends, most of whom went to the First Grammar School. 
To je še dodatno vplivalo na stike s prijatelji, ki so se po večini vpisali na 1. gimnazijo.
“In the first year I met my husband. 
»V prvem letniku sem spoznala svojega moža.
Funny situation. 
Smešna situacija.
In those days we used to hang out in some café or other at the bus station. 
V tistih časih smo se mladi veliko zbirali na avtobusni postaji v kakem kafiču.
Me and a girlfriend lied to our parents that we had a two-day school trip, we even forged a note from school, and spent two days wandering around the town. 
S prijateljico sma se doma zlagali, da grema na dvodnevni izlet s šolo, ponaredili sma celo obvestilo iz šole in dva dni sma lutali po mestu.
That was on 26th April 2000. 
To je bilo 26. aprila 2000.
We walked past a café and my husband-to-be was sitting there, quite drunk… I didn't even see him. 
Šli sma mimo enega kafiča in moj bodoči mož je sedel v enem od kafičev, zelo okajen… jaz ga nisem niti vidla.
He cried after us: What's up girls, wanna drink? 
Za nama se je zadr: Kaj punce, gremo na pijačo?
And we joined 
In sma šli.
He probably didn't know. 
On verjetno ni vedel.
We drank a few rounds and decided to go to the Yucatan club. 
Spili smo par rund in se odločli, da gremo v klub Yucatan.
Oto was so drunk that he couldn't get into a cab and just fell asleep. 
Oto je bil tak pijan, da ni mogel v taksi in je tam zaspal.
My girlfriend went on, and I stayed with him till morning. 
Prijateljica je šla naprej, jaz pa sem ostala z njim do jutra.
In the morning he woke up. 
Zjutraj se je zbudil.
I waited to see if he'd ask for my phone number, and after a while he did. 
Čakala sem, da me vpraša za telefonsko in čez nekaj časa me je res.
He phoned the next day, and that was it. 
Drugi dan me je tudi poklical in to je bilo to.
I still know it was Wednesday when we met, on Thursday he called me and on Friday we went out. 
Še zdaj vem, da je bila sreda, ko sma se spoznala, v četrtek me je poklical in v petek sma se dobila.
We've been together for ten years, married for a bit more than a year, and have a year and a half old daughter.” 
Skupaj sma že 10 let, poročena sma dobro leto in imava leto in pol staro hčerko.
“At that time Oto didn't have a driving licence or a car. 
»Oto v tem času še ni imel niti avta niti izpita.
He was looking for a job and found one after a year. 
V tem času je iskal službo in jo po enem letu tudi našel.
When he got a job, he passed the driving test and bought a car. 
Ko je dobil službo, je naredil izpit za avto in si ga tudi kupil.
So we could spend more time together.” 
Tako sma lahko veliko več časa preživela skupaj.
He came to live with me. 
Prišel je živeti k meni.
We realised we'd been together for quite a while and should start building something together. 
Opazila sma, da sma že dolgo skupaj in da bi lahko počasi kaj ustvarila.
We started thinking of kids when I was in the second year of studies… we went to Podčetrtek on holiday and watched families with babies. 
O otrocih sma začela razmišljati, ko sem bila v drugem letniku faksa… šla sma na dopust v Podčetrtek in tam sma gledala družine z malimi otroki.
Oto said he liked babies and that it was time, given we'd been together so long… I had my doubts since I didn't have a job. 
Oto je omenil, da so mu malčki všeč in da bi bilo zdaj glede na to, da sma že toliko časa skupaj, že čas… Imela sem sicer pripombo, ker nisem imela službe.
How would we live? 
Od česa pa bi živeli?
But it turned out we're alright, even if I don't have a job. 
Zdaj se je pa pokazalo, da tudi glede na to, da nimam službe, nam prav nič ne manjka.
“We started staying at home, and lots of friends stopped seeing us. 
»Začela sma ostajati doma in veliko prijateljev se je nehalo družiti z nama.
I dunno why. 
Pa ne vem zakaj.
But I think if the baby is wanted, nothing is a problem… having a baby can't affect you. 
Mislim, pa da če je otrok zaželen, nič ni velik problem… to, da imaš otroka, ne more vplivati na tebe.
So you lose your friends. 
Pač zgubiš prijatelje.
For me, my kid is the most important thing… Occasionally we still go out, leave the kid with one of the grandmothers and go out…” 
Meni je otrok glavni… Občasno še hodima ven, otroka pustima pri eni od babic in grema ven…«
The birth of little Ines changed many things in Andreja's life: 
Z rojstvom male Ines se je v življenju Andreje marsikaj spremenilo:
“I get up at 6.30 in the morning and take the little one to kindergarten. 
»Zjutraj vstanem ob 6.30 in malo (Ines) peljem v vrtec.
At home I cook, clean, and pick up Ines at around two o'clock. 
Doma kuham, pospravljam, okoli dveh grem po Ines.
We come home, play, then Oto comes and we have a fun time, I make him something to eat. 
Pridema domov, se igrama, pride Oto in je ful veselje, pripravim mu kaj za pojest.
We're together for a while and in the evening I put Ines to bed. 
Malo smo skupaj in zvečer gre Ines spat.
Then I have time for myself. 
Potem imam čas za sebe.
I read the news, spend some time on the web, watch some TV. 
Preberem novice, grem na internet, pogledam kaj na TV.
I try not to think so much about other things, the bills and money. 
Probam čim manj razmišljat o drugih stvareh, položnicah in denarju.
Money really bugs me. 
Denar me ful mori.
It bugs me that I don't contribute. 
Mori me to, da ničesar ne prispevam.
It would worry me much more. 
Zdaj so mi pomembne druge stvari.
Andreja describes her family's financial situation as stable, but her personal material situation as poor: 
Andreja sicer opisuje družinski gmotni položaj kot soliden, svoj osebni gmotni položaj pa kot slab:
“My husband's supporting me. 
»Mož me preživlja.
He never complains about it and I'm not short of anything. 
Tega mi nikoli ne vrže pod nos in tudi nič mi ne manjka.
I'd love to have it. 
Ful bi jo imela.
Oto gives me his bank card and I can use it freely. 
Oto mi da kartico in jaz lahko z njo razpolagam.
He trusts me not to buy things I don't need.” 
Zaupa mi, da ne bom kupovala stvari, ki jih ne rabim.
I'd take anything, even pressing cabbage. 
Denar bolj cenim, odkar imava otroka.
Despite being unemployed Andreja believes she's a happy person: 
Kljub brezposelnosti pa je Andreja sebe opisala kot srečno:
I'm a kind of person who, even when things run smoothly, believes that things could be even better… and I don't mean just material things, more like in general.” 
Sem človek, ki tudi, ko mu gre vse po načrtih, misli, da bi lahko bilo še boljše…ne mislim samo materialne dobrine, nasplošno.
14.3 Enver, 20, young Roma 
14.3 Enver, 20 let, mladi Rom
Enver was born in Maribor, where he attended kindergarten and primary school. 
Enver se je rodil v Mariboru, kjer je tudi hodil v vrtec in osnovno šolo.
After second grade he was expelled due to frequent absence. 
Po končanem drugem razredu so ga zaradi pogostega izostajanja izključili.
A few years later he enrolled in one of the primary schools with a special curriculum, but never finished it, this time primarily for disciplinary reasons, most frequently fighting. 
Po nekaj letih se je ponovno vpisal v eno od osnovnih šol s prilagojenim programom, kipa je prav tako ni končal, tokrat predvsem zaradi disciplinskih razlogov, največkrat pretepanja.
When he was 17, he enrolled in the primary school programme for adults at the Institute for Adult Education in Maribor, completed sixth grade, and gave up schooling completely in the seventh grade. 
Pri 17 letih se je prijavil v program osnovne šole za odrasle na Andragoškem zavodu Maribor, končal šesti razred, v sedmem pa je izobraževanje opustil.
“Then I did zilch for two years. 
»Potem sem dve leti luftal.
Sat home, watched TV, played games… one year I spent with my buddies at Kolosej (entertainment centre in Maribor), but we get thrown out ‘cos we give them hard time…” 
Dve leti doma sedel, gledal televizijo, igral igrice… eno leto sem preživel s prijatelji v Koloseju (zabaviščnem centru v Mariboru), pa so nas vrgli ven, ker smo jim zatežili…«
Enver and his two older brothers are members of the first generation in their family born in Slovenia. 
Enver in njegova dva starejša brata so predstavniki prve generacije v svoji družini, ki so bili rojeni v Sloveniji.
His grandfather, grandmother and father come from Kosovo, his mother from Zagreb: 
Dedek, babica in oče prihajajo s Kosova, mama pa iz Zagreba:
“Grandpa been in Maribor for 40 years already. 
»Dedek je v Mariboru že 40 let.
In Kosovo there was no work, no life… so he came here for better life. 
Na Kosovu ni bilo dela, sploh nobenega življenja… in prišel je na boljše.
He got a flat and a job with Snaga, married Grandma… Father was born in Kosovo for that where Grandpa's from…” 
Dobil je stanovanje in službo v Snagi, poročil se je z babico… Oče se je rodil na Kosovu, ker je dedek od tam doma…«
When his grandfather judged that Enver was old enough to marry, he asked his friend to find a bride for his grandson. 
Ko je dedek ocenil, da je Enver dovolj star, da bi se lahko poročil, je naprosil svojega prijatelja, da mu za vnuka poišče nevesto.
Enver's uncle found her in Kosovo: 
Našel jo je Enverjev stric, in sicer na Kosovu:
“… first I, Grandpa, Grandma and Ma went to Kosovo. 
»… najprej smo šli jaz, dedek, babica in mama na Kosovo.
My aunt's husband found a girl in a family he knew, they waited to see if we liked each other and arranged a marriage. 
Tetin mož je našel punco pri družini znancev, pogledali so, če sma si všeč, in se dogovorili za poroko.
They were talking and the girl and I went to town for a drink, we talked a bit and went back home. 
Midva sma medtem, ko so se oni dogovarjali, šla v mesto na pijačo, malo sma se pogovarjala in šla nazaj domov.
Grandpa asked me if I like her, and I say I like her. 
Dedek me je vprašal, če mi je všeč, in reko sem, da mi je.
For a while he and his wife lived at his grandfather's. 
Skupaj z ženo sta nekaj časa živela pri dedku.
They had their first baby when Enver was 17, and the second when he was 19. 
Prvega otroka sta dobila, ko je bil Enver star 17 let, drugega pa pri 19.
Although both of them are unemployed and the family is classified as a socially at-risk household, Enver claims he's happy and quite well off: 
Čeprav sta oba brezposelna in s svojo mlado družino umeščena med socialno ogrožene družine, Enver pravi, da je srečen in da mu prav nič ne manjka:
“We live on welfare, Grandpa helps a bit, Father too, sometimes I work a little… All I need is more money, hah hah… I'm OK, I have a TV, computer, play-station, telephone, everything… but I like to have a bigger car.” 
»Živimo v bistvu od socialne (podpore), malo mi pomaga dedek, malo oče, malo pa tudi delam… manjka mi samo še več denarja, ha, ha… nič mi ne manjka, imam televizor, računalnik, play-station, telefon, vse… večji avto bi rad imel.
“… when they gather bulky waste, we go through town in our van and take what we find. 
»… ko so kosovni odpadki, gremo s kombijem po mestu in poberemo, kar pač najdemo.
Grandpa has some regular clients, they call him when they have enough scrap iron to fill the van…” 
Dedek ima tudi nekaj stalnih strank, ki ga pokličejo, da so nabrali dovolj železa za poln kombi…«
“Yeah, it pays best to collect scrap copper and aluminium, that's more cash… iron's bad. 
»Ja, najbolj se splača zbirat baker in aluminij, to je največ dnarja… železo je slabo.
And you shouldn't sell it here, it don't pay. 
Pa tudi pri nas ga ne smeš prodajat, ker dobiš premalo.
Welfare relief is an important financial source for Enver's entire family, and together with alternative survival strategies, for instance scrap-iron collection and strong mutual solidarity in the extended family, the situation, according to Enver's claims, is quite good. 
Socialna podpora je pomemben finančni vir celotne Enverjeve družine in skupaj z alternativnimi preživetvenimi strategijami, kot sta na primer zbiranje starega železa in močna vzajemna solidarnost v razširjeni družini, je položaj po Enverjevih besedah dokaj dober.
Regular employment is out of the question for him: 
Da bi se redno zaposlil, zanj ne pride v poštev:
“… no, no way… then it's problems and we don't manage (financially). 
»… ne, nima smisla… potem nastopijo sami problemi in ne bi nam zneslo (finančno).
Look, if I go to work, I get less money than I have now when I don't work. 
Glej, če hodim v službo, dobim manj denarja, kot ga imam zdaj, ko ne hodim.
“The social (service) is maki ng me work in construction, but I don't wanna… You crazy, me working there like idiot… and in 30 years I can't stand on me feet… They also offered me to a van-driving job, but I lost me licence…” 
»Socialna (služba) me sili, da bi delal v gradbeništvu, pa nočem… Si nor, jaz tam delal kot blesav… pol pa ne bom mogo fstat čez 30 let… Ponudli so mi tudi, da bi vozo kombija, pa so mi vzeli izpit…«
“The future? 
»Za prihodnost?
Don't know professionally, but sometime I must find a job… can't be on the dole forever.” 
Poklicno niti ne razmišljam, službo si pa enkrat moram najt… vedno ne moreš bit na socialni.
14.4 Helena, 18, excellent grammar school student 
»Odraščati začneš takrat, ko veliko stvari delaš sam.
She spent her childhood and attended primary school in her home village: 
14.4 Helena, 18 let, uspešna gimnazijka
“I've lived in Leskovec since I was little, spent my entire life in the village. 
Helena živi s starši, tremi mlajšimi sestrami in bratom na kmetiji v vasi v okolici Slovenske Bistrice.
But in the holidays I visited my grandmother in Maribor. 
Otroštvo in čas osnovne šole je preživela v domači vasi:
There I watched various TV shows and cartoons, since we didn't have Cartoon Network at home. 
»Že od malega živim v Leskovcu, celo življenje sem že na vasi.
I remember my childhood as being very carefree. 
Na počitnice sem pa hodila k babici v Maribor.
Every evening I played in the courtyards with my sister 
Tam sem gledala različne oddaje in risanke, saj doma nismo imeli Cartoon networka.
Ana, and the days passed. 
Kolikor se spomnim svojega otroštva, je bilo izjemno brezskrbno.
We usually played in the sand box or with one of the dogs…” 
Cele večere sem se igrala na dvorišču s sestro Ano in tako so minevali dnevi.
Helena described her primary-school years as a very pleasant period. 
Ponavadi sva se igrali v peskovniku ali pa s katerim od psov…«
“It was like this, but it was all right. 
»Pač tak je bilo, no, saj je bilo v redu.
She started playing the piano in the second grade of primary school. 
Klavir je začela igrati v drugem razredu osnovne šole.
Later she finished elementary music school, and continued her musical education at one of the private music schools in Maribor. 
Pozneje je končala nižjo glasbeno, glasbeno izobraževanje pa je nadaljevala v eni od zasebnih šol v Mariboru.
