I propose to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to: 1. abolish student services and student work Student work has only bad sides for the employee (student or pupil) besides a few months' earnings: it does not count as working time, it does not have the bonuses of a full-time employee, it is exploited. Of course, it is nice for all young people to earn something on their own, but student work is just a form of slavery, which also has negative effects in general: Every employer prefers to employ a student because it comes cheaper and he can be replaced at any time. There is no need to talk about the fact that this is stealing vacancies from those who would like to have a regular permanent job. The major crisis has also led to the problem of so-called 'status-holders', i.e. students who enrol in colleges and universities only to get student status and insurance, rather than because they are interested in getting a higher education. This is also to the detriment of future generations, who are often unable to get into the places they want. Of course, we should not forget the individuals from poorer families who work through a student just to be able to support themselves and their families. I therefore propose that everyone from a poor family be given a sufficiently large grant for the duration of their education to cover the cost of transport to school, the cost of one hot meal and at least a large part of the cost of buying school supplies. Of course, everyone thinks about this proposal: Where is the money for all this going to come from? Well, I will try to explain that with the next point. 2. enable regular employment through lower taxation of work Work in Slovenia is over-taxed. This is an undeniable fact, which is partly why foreign investors do not choose to invest in Slovenian companies. I propose that labour taxation (compulsory contributions) be reduced by at least 30%, thus relieving the burden on employers and increasing the chances of every individual finding permanent employment after finishing school. This also provides an opportunity for individuals to become financially independent from their parents after leaving school, making it easier for them to obtain a home loan and increasing their chances of starting and supporting a new family. Germany has a special system - they have so-called "Berufschule" - schools where you are trained for a specific profession. In a conversation with one of the students at one of these schools, I was positively shocked to learn that, after finishing school, he does not even intend to go to college, but has already concluded a contract with his employer to take him on as a permanent employee, with a salary that is the legal minimum for the first few months and then escalates to almost double that. In Germany, such 3-year schools provide students with a top-level education for a specific profession, and each student enters into a contract with an employer in the first year, and each year completes a certain number of hours of work experience with an employer, thus training for a job. The employer undertakes to employ the student upon successful completion of his/her studies. The employer is also subsidised by the state, which offers certain tax advantages in return for this arrangement. 3. guiding pupils towards a specific career path It is from the above example that I propose that, after leaving primary school, each pupil should be tested on what he or she is best suited to and enjoys, based on both mental and practical tests. On this basis, a system similar to the previous example should be set up to produce a skilled workforce with high employability after secondary education. We have too many quasi-experts, social science graduates and other unemployable personnel. If we are to have any hope for the future, creativity, discipline and cooperation must be encouraged. The number of places at social science faculties should be reduced by 90%, and the number of places at economics faculties should be limited by 70-90%. We have too many educated people in some areas, and we are losing capable people, the so-called 'brain drain'. 4. Reduce the self-contribution for sole traders Self-contributions for sole traders are too high. Reducing them will certainly increase the number of self-employed, who will offer quality services at lower prices, and will increase GDP and purchasing power. 5. Introduce new limits on parliamentary seats in politics This point will be particularly offensive to you, but it is essential for the good of the country that the proposal is adopted. We have too many MPs in Slovenia. The number of seats should be halved, the salary of an MP should be divided into a fixed part (the legal minimum salary) + a variable part (varies according to the activity, performance of the MP, contribution to the general welfare of the population). The term of office of an MP should be legally limited to a maximum of 10 years, after which he/she should be reassigned to another post outside the public administration. We have too many people who have been sitting in Parliament since independence, but who do not work for the benefit of the public and the electorate, but only for their own personal benefit and the benefit of the people in their inner circle. 6. Public service employees should be paid a piece wage We have too many people working in the public service who are just sitting on their chairs and are paid too much for a minimum contribution. They should therefore be paid on a piece-rate system (fixed + variable), with the fixed part representing the legal minimum wage and the variable part representing job performance. This avoids excessive costs and motivates staff to actually do their job well. For the good of Slovenia, adopt this programme, forget left-right political intrigue and do something actually good for the good of all. After all, power is there to serve and represent the people. I wish you a good winter greeting as an unemployed citizen of the Republic of Slovenia.
