Anketa o životu mladih

Kancelarija za saradnju sa dijasporom koja radi pri Službi za poslove gradonačelnika Niša pokrenula je istraživanje u kome bi trebalo da, putem interneta, učestvuje 100 ispitanika iz dijaspore i 100 iz matice, starosti od 18 do 35 godina.

Ovo istraživanje sprovodi se sa ciljem da se prikupe informacije o tome kako život mladih u dijaspori utiče na procenu njihovog zadovoljstva životom i socijalne i emocionalne usamljenosti, kao i kakve su te procene kod mladih u Nišu.

.

"Kod nas gotovo i da nema istraživanja u ovoj oblasti, a smatramo da je veoma važno posvetiti pažnju mladima i u dijaspori i u Nišu, njihovim raznovrsnim problemima, a naročito različitim aspektima njihovih života. Poređenje ove dve grupe može da nam ukaže na to da li su mladi u dijaspori, gde imaju veće mogućnosti za lični razvoj, zadovoljniji svojim ličnim životom, emocionalno i socijalno zreliji, ili su usamljeni, jer žive daleko od sredine iz koje su potekli", pojasnila je Tamara Ćirić, šef Kancelarije za saradnju sa dijasporom Grada Niša i pozvala mlade ljude da učestvuju u istraživanju popunjavanjem online upitnika koji se nalazi na sajtu Kancelarije i na brojnim forumima i društvenim mrežama.

Ova kancelarija već je sprovela istraživanje u kome je učestvovalo blizu 1200 posetilaca Sajma knjiga u Nišu, a koje je pokazalo da građani Niša imaju pozitivan stav o pripadnicima dijaspore, kao i o saradnji Republike Srbije sa svojim rasejanjem, ali je pokazalo da su mladi ljudi, u velikom broju slučajeva, neiformisani o ključnim pitanjima o dijaspori.

"Jedan od prevashodnih zadataka Kancelarije za saradnju sa dijasporom u Nišu i dalje će biti informisanje građana Srbije o životu i radu u inostranstvu, kako bi se podigao nivo svesti o ovom pitanju. Rezultati koje ćemo dobiti ovim istraživanjem, ali i brojna istraživanja dijaspore koja smo planirali, biće osnova za buduće analize i konkretne aktivnosti, što bi, na kraju krajeva, dovelo do smanjenja „odliva mozgova", dodala je Ćirićeva.
