2. INTRODUCTION Supported by the Swedish organization Kvinna till Kvinna and the Center for International Private Enterprise, the Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED) in Podgorica implemented a research study titled “The Discrimination of Women in the Employment Process and at the Workplace”, the first of its kind in Montenegro. Although there has been a considerable amount of research carried out on employment and the working environment in Montenegro, there have been very few studies dedicated specifically to gender issues. Although most Montenegrins will agree that their society is a patriarchal one, there is little hard data that explores whether that is true, and if so how it impacts women on a day to day basis. This needs to be remedied. According to the sparse existing research, women lag behind men in terms of education and salaries, and tend to work in support positions rather than in decision-making roles. Women make up half the population in Montenegro, and have the potential to contribute significantly to the economy. Surveys such as this one can help the government, the private sector and the donor community understand the situation more fully, allowing them to create policies that will assist Montenegrin women to achieve equality with their male counterparts and encourage them to take on more challenging roles. In order to gather data for this survey, researchers approached women all over the country to learn about the employment process and the office environment. It became apparent that many of the respondents had not considered these issues previously. However, based on our results discrimination does exist in Montenegro. We hope that after publishing this study, these issues will not only be considered by the government and the business community, but also by working women themselves. Through further research and in-depth discussion among the relevant players, Montenegrins will be able to select policy measures that will benefit women, the business community, and the country as a whole.

3. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The survey was accomplished thanks to the effort of a large number of individuals and several organizations over a period of five months. This survey was managed by Budimka Mićković and Michelle Stern. Aproximately 30 people participated in this research. CEED’s offices in Podgorica, Nikšić, Kotor, Ulcinj and Bijelo Polje provided logistical support during the gathering of the data. We owe a special thanks to the group of 300 women that worked with our survey administration team to carefully complete the questionnaire, thereby providing valuable data about themselves, their views and their expectations. The organizations that worked together on this study have long-standing and solid reputations in the field of research and policy analysis. The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED), Podgorica, Montenegro, is the first consulting center established in Montenegro to support entrepreneurship and economic development. The mission of CEED is—through its programs, projects, and advocacy activities—to promote and implement, on a practical level in Montenegro, the ideas of a free market, entrepreneurship, and private ownership in an open and democratic society; and the rule of law. CEED was established to fill the gap in knowledge required by pioneering entrepreneurs who emerged after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. It quickly became evident that most of these new entrepreneurs required practical and tailor-made training to facilitate their business start-up and expansion. The primary services offered by the center include: research, economic surveys, and small and medium-enterprise (SME) database development; economic analysis; policy analysis and recommendations; advocacy activity; business plan–development for aspiring entrepreneurs; basic and advanced business training for start-up and established firms; business consulting services; and publishing. The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation supports women who have been afflicted by war and conflict throughout the Western Balkans. They co-operate with women's organizations in Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania and Israel/Palestine.

They work to help war-affected women to recover both physically and psychologically. They want to empower women and support them in participating in the re-building of a democratic society.

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, works to build democracy and market economies throughout the world. CIPE works in four principal areas: a grants program currently supporting over 90 indigenous organizations in developing countries, an award winning communications strategy, training programs, and technical assistance through field offices. Since its inception in 1983, CIPE has funded more than 700 projects in 80 countries and has conducted management training programs throughout the world.

4. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The main goal of this research was to determine whether Montenegrin women believe that discrimination exists in the workplace and in the hiring process. These questions have not been asked in the past in Montenegro, and it is critical to understand the issues before developing an agenda to deal with them. This project was carried out as an initial step, with the ultimate aim of improving women’s position in Montenegrin society. The principle objectives of the project were to determine: � Whether women in Montenegro are discriminated against while they are looking for jobs or at the

workplace; � How women are treated during the hiring process; � How discrimination, if it exists, manifests itself; � If women believe that men have more opportunities than they do; � How women perceive their chances for success in the business world. The results of the research reflect the opinions and experiences of 300 women of different ages, education and professional skills. The structure of the sample (by age, by education, by employment) was not determined by any kind of quota because an accurate depiction of the actual population was desired. Data were collected through a questionnaire (APPENDIX A), and include three categories of women based on employment criteria: (1) employed – women employed at the moment; (2) ex – employed – unemployed women who were formerly employed and are looking for a new job; and (3) unemployed – women who have never worked before and are looking for a job. Both employed and ex-employed women responded to questions related to employment and discrimination at the work place. We therefore took answers of both groups into consideration whether they are currently working or not. Research preparation lasted two months and data collection lasted 15 days through 19 data collectors. Then data were then entered and analyzed. The analyses and results of the research were obtained by using SPSS software.

5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Women interviewed for this project ranged in age from 18-65 years old. Almost half of the women completed high school, while a further 48% went on to some sort of higher education. The majority of women, 46.7%, came from the central part of the country, while 30% came from the north and 23.3% from the south. 1. Employment Status

Regarding employment status, 53% are employed, 31% are formerly employed and looking for a new job, and 16% never worked before and are on the job market. The most popular fields of work were administration, retail and production. Almost 88% of the respondents are employees, while only 7.2% are managers and owners. Over 60% of women who lost their jobs were let go because the firm went bankrupt. Of those who quit, more than half left because of family reasons and/or pregnancy. Only 5% left for a better job. Women in Montenegro tend to work in sectors that are typically “feminine.” Only 3.2% of women who left their jobs were replaced by men. The majority of women interviewed feel their jobs make use of their qualifications.

2. Discrimination in the Workplace Around 40% of respondents believe their sex was an issue in the hiring process as very or somewhat important, particularly in food service and retail. Respondents are almost equally divided on the question of whether they have the same opportunities as their male counterparts. Only 19% of respondents have female managers. In one third of the organizations that have more female employees than male, the boss is a man. Almost 40% of respondents feel they have to continue to prove their capabilities are equal to their male colleagues constantly or sometimes. Most of the women believe their wages are on the same level as their male colleagues. The survey included several questions on sexual harassment, and according to the results, this is not a major problem in Montenegro. 3. Respondents’ opinions

According to almost half of respondents, men can find work more easily than women. The primary reasons are because men have more choices, and prejudice against women. Over 60% of respondents believe that there is a division between men’s work and women’s work in Montenegro, and that except in jobs with physical restrictions this division should not exist. Men and women competed for the same position in less than half of the cases. The majority of participants also agree that women have a harder time than men finding satisfying well-paid work, mainly because women put family first or because men have more useful connections and are in decision making roles.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are based on the survey findings and conclusions of the survey team: • Programs encouraging girls and women to further their education should be developed. • Women should be persuaded to seek work in sectors that traditionally employ men. • Companies need to examine their policies to understand why women do not get promoted to

decision-making positions. • This survey raised as many questions as it answered. There is a need for more research on gender

issues in Montenegro. • A campaign to make gender issues part of the public debate should be kicked off. • The government, the private sector and women workers need to work together to create policies that

will create a more positive environment for both sexes.

��� The above recommendations have been concluded from the survey we conducted. The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development is willing to take part in realizing these recommended actions.

7. SNAPSHOT OF MONTENEGRO

7.1 GEOGRAPHIC POSITION Montenegro lies in the southeast part of Europe, on the central part of the Balkan Peninsula, on the coast of the southern Adriatic Sea. The surface is mainly mountainous. The Zeta River in the area of Lake Skadar, together with the Zeta Valley and the Niksic Polje, comprise the biggest lowland region of Montenegro and its most fertile area. Montenegro borders on Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina to the west, Serbia to the north, Albania to the east and Italy over the sea. Montenegro covers a territory of 13,812 square kilometers. It has 300 km of coastline. The capital city of Podgorica lies in the central part of the country. The geographic position of the country provides favorable conditions for specific economic activities, above all transport and tourism.

7.2 GENERAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic activity in Montenegro is concentrated in the central part with the capital Podgorica and Niksic. Other municipalities with intensive economic activities are Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje and Berane in the north and Bar, Herceg Novi and Budva in the south. In the past several years, Montenegro, with the assistance of the foreign donor community, has been implementing an economic reform program, which will completely overhaul the existing system. One of the key areas is legislative reform. A series of new tax laws, as well as the new Enterprise Law, Energy Law, Anti-corruption Law, Tourism Law, Secure Transactions Law and a number of other will work to create a more positive environment for conducting business. The privatization process has also been moving ahead through mass voucher privatization and through batch sales and tenders. Over 60% of state owned shares has moved into private hands, and the major companies such as the telecom company, Jugopetrol, the aluminum plant and most of the hotels are slated to be sold off in the near future. The development of an efficient capital market was required to achieve all these reforms. Today there are two stock markets in Montenegro, the Montenegro Stock Exchange and the NEX Exchange. Shares of the privatization funds are expected to be traded by the end of 2002. A number of registered brokers and traders have been certified to carry out trading on the two exchanges. Due to the economic and political collapse of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Montenegro suffered a loss of 57% of its economic power through 1993. The closure of former Yugoslav and East European markets, war in the surroundings, the economic blockade of Yugoslavia, interruption of existent traffic flows and communications, led to the diminishing of economic activity. After 1995, there was a short period of recovery, which was interrupted by the war in Kosovo. Per capita gross domestic product in 2001 amounted to $1.899. In 1999 Montenegro switched to the DM, and in January 2002 moved to the EURO. The conversion to the Euro was one of the largest operations with money executed in Montenegro, and was considered a major success. As in Europe, Euro inflation has had an impact on the Montenegrin economy. According to CEED estimates, the rate in 2002 will be 18%.

7.3 POPULATION

The last census in Montenegro, taken in 1991, counted 615,000 residents in Montenegro. According to population estimates from the Statistical Office of Montenegro, this figure increased to 650,758 by 1999, a growth of 5.8%. Just over half of the citizens are women. Estimates show a slight increase in the population growth rate in the 1990’s. This is probably due to population shifts in the region during the Balkan wars. Before World War II the number of children per family was significantly higher than in the period after the war. After World War II, and more specifically after 1948, the growth rate decreased steadily. This could be explained by better living conditions and by the fact that the women in Montenegro are more educated and most have chosen not to have more than two children. It is also possible that parents prefer to keep their families smaller during difficult economic times. The birthrate has dropped from 33.06/1000 inhabitants in 1953 to 13.57 in 1999, which means the Montenegrin population is getting older. This has had two effects on the female population in terms of professional life. As they are having fewer children, they have more time to work and to educate themselves. Secondly, as the working age population shrinks, there is a greater need for women to contribute to the economy.

7.4 EMPLOYMENT The “working age” population includes men between the ages 15 and 64, and women between the ages of 15 and 59. According to official data, the working age population in Montenegro consists of 399,241 citizens, out of which 182,055 or 45.6% are women. Of this number, 285,258 citizens make up the active work force, of which 43.75% or 124,825 are women. Within the active work force where 181,762 citizens are employed, 39.65% or 72,075 of them are women. In spite of all the programs aimed at reducing unemployment, the number of unemployed persons in Montenegro has increased. Women’s participation in the total number of unemployed in the last five years has been 60%. In the last several years, approximately 15,000 of the available jobs have been announced annually, and 80,000 of the unemployed citizens have applied for those jobs. On average, there are six applications for each job announcement. The pressure is even higher among the jobs that are predominantly filled by women. The majority of women are employed in the non-economic sectors (60.2%), while 34.8% of them work in the economic sectors. Due to high taxes and contributions to social insurance through deductions from employees’ salaries, working in “the grey economy” is very frequent. Sectors in which the work in “the grey economy” is most frequent (trade, for example) mainly employ women. In this way, the participation of the women’s work force in the grey economy is outstanding. According to surveys, 25% of the women that work in the grey economy work between 6 and 12 months, and almost the same percentage work without the basic employment and social rights that they are entitled to that have been mandated by the Law for more then two years now.

9.1.5 Reason for unemployment 50% of unemployed women who are looking for a job with no success think that the reason they did not obtain the job is that relatives and/or friends of the employer got the job. Twenty-five percent of unemployed women believe that they are not qualified enough and 12.5% think that their age is the reason. In 8.3% cases employer looked exclusively for a man and in 4.2% of cases respondents are not employed because of some other reasons but they have a job in a future. 9.1.6 Reasons formerly employed women are no longer employed 58.1% of those respondents who worked before were fired, while 41.9% of them quit. 9.1.7 Reasons for dismissal Approximately 61.0% of respondents who were fired stated that this action resulted from a firm going bankrupt. On the other hand, 14.8% of the sample believe the reason is that the employer found a more adequate person for the job. Complaining about her small salary was the reason for 5.6% of the women, and the same percentage claim personal reasons. Interestingly, 3.7% of women were fired because they complained about men’s attitude. Another interesting thing is that 5.6% of respondents do not know why they were dismissed. Others were fired because of their age, or because they became pregnant (3.8%). 9.1.8 Reasons for quitting 30.8% women quit because of family reasons, 23.1% because they became pregnant, and 17.9% because of the small salary. Almost 13% of the sample did not feel comfortable as woman in the workplace. Five percent found a better job, the same percentage think that their employer was not satisfied with their work, and the same percentage retired. So, over half of the respondents stopped working in order to take care of their children or other family members. 9.1.9 Job replacement 34.4% of unemployed women who worked before were replaced by another woman. In 31.2% cases nobody replaced them, in same number of cases they do not know who replaced them (if anyone), and in 3.2% cases their replacement was a man.

9.1.11 Maximizing qualifications 73.8% of employed and ex-employed women responded positively to the question of whether they feel their job makes use of their qualifications, and 26.2% responded negatively. Approximately 44.0% of those who do not feel their job makes use of their qualifications think that this is because there is no demand for their qualification on the labor market. Approximately 22.7% of women have not looked for a job for which they are qualified, 15.2% think that friends and relatives of the employer were given the job they should have gotten, 10.6% think that the organization does not make proper use of their capabilities, 4.5% do not feel their job makes use of their qualifications because of family reasons (the woman is not able to fulfill certain obligations, i.e. frequent traveling), 1.5% think that the job for which they are qualified is traditionally considered a “men’s” job, and the same percentage believe the reason is their age.

Cross tables: The following cross table shows how respondents feel their jobs make use of their qualification considering their education. 65% of respondents who do not feel their job make use of their qualification finished high school, 19% two years university program and 12% four years university program.

9.2 DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE

9.2.1 Employee’s sex 20.2% of employed and ex-employed respondents stated that their employer stressed he/she was looking exclusively for a female employee for the job. The same percentage of respondents said that sex was mentioned, but was not considered important. Finally, 59.5% of respondents think that the sex of the employee was not an issue for the employer.

Cross tables: The following cross table illustrates whether the sex of the employee was an issue for the employer across different fields of work. Women working in retail, and particularly women working in food service, responded positively in more cases then in other fields of work.

On the other hand, 16.3% report that they must prove themselves sometimes, 21.8% rarely, and 47.2% never. Interestingly, women that have reached a higher level of education do not feel that they have to continue to prove themselves as equal to men as often.

10. CONCLUSION

10.1 COMMENTS

10.1.1 Finding a job

All women from the sample answered questions about the employment process, including employed, ex-employed and unemployed. Over half of the women in the survey who did not get a job they applied for said it went to a friend or relative of the employer, which demonstrates the fact that nepotism is a significant problem in Montenegro. However, women also benefit from this system, as 41.3% of women got their jobs through recommendations. Not everyone is lucky enough to have such connections. Over 25% of the women in the sample between 22-40 years old are currently looking for work. According to estimates from the Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognoses, the unemployment rate is around 19%, while 48% of our sample is currently job hunting. More than 40% of respondents said sex was an issue to the employer during the hiring process, particularly in the food and retail sectors. This can be verified through media advertisements, which often specify whether the employer is looking for a woman to fill the position.

10.1.2 On the job Key findings from the research show that 84% of women from the sample have some professional experience, 53% are currently employed, and 31% have worked previously. Around 87% of women from the sample work or worked as full-time employees (including seasonal workers). Data collectors did not ask respondents whether they work as official employees or informally. Women in the sample with higher educations are more likely to be employed. This could explain why more young women are studying. In the 41-50 year age group, 43% completed high school and only 19% university, while 47% of 22-30 year olds finished high school and 28% university. This research shows that in 81% of the cases the manager is a man. In our sample there are very few women in decision-making positions. The majority of women in the sample are in administration, or other typically feminine fields such as health or education, while only 14.7% work in production and just 6% are managers or owners. Of the employed and ex-employed women, 73.8% from the sample feel that their job makes good use of their qualifications. However, we have to ask why women are working mainly in subordinate positions. The remaining 26.2% from the sample responded that they do not feel their job makes use of their qualifications, of which 65% finished high school and 31% finished a two or four-year university program. We can conclude from this that a woman is more likely to be satisfied at her job if she has a higher level of education. Over 44% who do not believe their job makes use of their qualifications say the reason for this is that there are no good jobs, which is gender neutral. Another 30% say it is because the job they were suited for went to someone else, their skills are not used adequately, or they cite family reasons. In other words, they feel they are overqualified for their jobs. Lack of good jobs is presently a problem for both men and women in Montenegro, but women seem to have other hurdles to overcome. Only 6.7% of the sample responded that men at the same position in their organization receive higher wages. If we exclude the 28.2% of the respondents who do not know if there any difference in wages between genders, it appears that there is no wage discrimination against women in Montenegro. However, other surveys show that there is in fact a wage gap. According to the Household Survey 4 published by the Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognoses, men receive on average €30.00 more per month, even when accounting for education level. UNDP has found similar results. Although it is

Page 33: Discrimination of women in employment process

The Discrimination of Women in the Employment Process and at the Work Place

32

possible that the women from our sample were an exception to the rule, it is also possible that they are for some reason not aware of the wage gap. Regarding sexual harassment, only a relatively small number of respondents admit that they were harassed at the workplace. The mentality in Montenegro is still patriarchal, and most women think that they should handle the situation on their own, without complaint and without talking about it. Additionally, people are not familiar with the words “discrimination” and “harassment”. This survey had only a few questions on this topic, and therefore, the level of sexual harassment remains uncertain. This could be an area for future research. 10.1.3 Leaving the job

The fact that 61.1% of those women who were let go from their jobs were fired because the company went bankrupt clearly demonstrates Montenegro is experiencing an economic crisis. While respondents did not mention sexual discrimination as a cause, the practice of dismissing female workers before male workers is typical in transitioning economies. Of the 41.9% of ex-employed women who quit, 23.1% of them did so because they became pregnant. As the maternity policy under Montenegrin law is very generous, this data indicates that some of them might have been forced to quit and some of them might not have been able to manage both family and career obligations. Approximately 34% of dismissed women were replaced by another woman. Only 3.2% of respondents were definitely replaced by a man. This could indicate that these were positions created exclusively for women.

10.1.4 What women think Answers to questions related to respondent’s opinions indicate that most of them feel that discrimination does exist in Montenegro. Roughly 61% of the respondents believe that there is a division between men’s jobs and women’s jobs that should not exist. This is supported by the fact that men replaced so few dismissed women. However, under such difficult economic conditions, the situation may be changing, as people are willing to take whatever job they can get. Our results show that men and women are now competing for jobs in fields that are both traditionally masculine, such as production, and feminine fields such as education. This would be an interesting topic for further research. Data shows that 64.3% of respondents think that women have a harder time finding a satisfying, well-paid job than men. The fact that so few women in our sample are bosses or managers supports this. This would also be an interesting topic for further research, but some possible reasons could be that women are less educated and have less working experience, or that they are concerned with their families and are less committed to the job. According to our sample, employers seem more likely to hire men in decision-making positions. When asked why they believe women have a more difficult time finding a satisfying job than men, 34.2% of respondents cite the fact that family obligations are often considered more important than their careers. It would be interesting to learn how many of these women feel they have not been able to fulfill their professional objectives because they were stuck with domestic responsibilities, and how many chose this path. The majority of women cited issues such as “the employer is a man” or “the old boys network” as the reasons why women remain in secondary positions. 10.1.5 Conclusion When looking at the responses to the questions regarding workplace experience, it appears that respondents do not perceive discrimination to be a serious problem. One explanation may be that under the former Communistic regime, women were supposedly considered equal to men. Alternatively, Montenegrins are struggling through an economic crisis at the moment and are focusing on survival rather than gender issues. A third explanation is that this is the first time a survey like this has been

Page 34: Discrimination of women in employment process

The Discrimination of Women in the Employment Process and at the Work Place

33

carried out. Topics like discrimination or sexual harassment are not common, and women are unfamiliar with discussing these topics. It is interesting that the responses to questions concerning women’s opinions paint a different picture, one where discrimination is prevalent in society. Under current economic conditions, with a limited number of good jobs available, the motivation for working is likely to be contribution to the family budget rather than personal satisfaction. It is clear that Montenegrin women face a “dual burden” of bringing money home and taking care of the family. Many people, men and women both, believe that women can do both easily. However, women often have to ask themselves what is more important, devoting time to the family, or contribution to the family budget. Looking for the results of our survey, taking care of the family often takes priority over women’s professional goals. As the economy begins to improve, more good jobs will be created, and Montenegrin women will have more opportunities to work in different industries and in different positions. At the moment there is no strong business association for women. It will be interesting to see if women will choose to be proactive as the economy starts to improve. The other players who influence the lives of women, including the government, legislators, employers and family members, can also take part in transforming women’s role in Montenegrin society. This research confirms some previous observations and assumptions about the position of working women in Montenegro, and how they function. Results allow us to draw some conclusions, and also raise further questions. There is clearly a need for further research in this area. We must now ask ourselves what questions should we try to answer and what actions should we take.

2. UVOD Centar za preduzetništvo i ekonomski razvoj uz podršku švedske organizacije Kvinna till Kvinna i Centra za medjunarodno privatno preduzetništvo iz Vašingtona, sproveo je istraživanje “Diskriminacija žena u procesu zapošljavanja i na radnom mjestu”, prvo ove vrste u Crnoj Gori. Iako su sprovedena brojna istraživanja koja se odnose na zaposlenost i uslove poslovanja u Crnoj Gori, neznatan je broj onih koja u osnovi imaju pitanja odnosa polova. Većina ljudi u Crnoj Gori bi se slošili sa konstatacijom da šivimo u patrijarhalnoj sredini, ali je teško dokazati podacima koje daju istraživanja da li je to tako ili nije i ako jeste kako se to odrašava na svakodnevicu žena i potrebno je to ispraviti. Prema veoma malom broju sprovedenih istraživanja, žene zaostaju za muškarcima u obrazovanju i platama i češće su zaposlene na nišim radnim pozicijama nego na pozicijama donosioca poslovnih odluka. @ene čine polovinu crnogorske populacije i predstavljaju značajan potencijal za razvoj privrede. Ovakvo istraživanje bi moglo biti od pomoći Vladi, privatnom sektoru, donatorima da imaju jasniju sliku o cjelokupnoj sitaciji u Crnoj Gori, kao i da kreiraju politike na način koji bi omogućio ženama da postignu ravnopravnost sa muškarcima i koji bi ohrabrio da preuzimaju izazovnije uloge. Anketari su intervjuisali žene iz cijele Crne Gore kako bi se dobili potrebni podaci i stekla jasnija slika o situaciji u procesu zapošljavanja i na radnim mjestima. Očigledno je da mnoge ispitanice ranije uopšte nisu razmišljale o ovim pitanjima. Medjutim, na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, mošemo reći da diskriminacija postoji u Crnoj Gori. Nadamo se da će nakon objavljivanja rezultata ovog istraživanja ova pitanjima razmotriti, ne samo Vlada i ljudi iz biznisa, nego i same žene. Kroz dalja istraživanja i dublju diskusiju medju relevanitnim subjektima, u Crnoj Gori će moći da se identifikuju politike i mjere koje će biti od koristi ženama, cjelokupnom poslovnom okrušenju i društvu u cjelini.

3. ZAHVALNOST Istraživanje je sprovedeno zahvaljujući naporu većeg broja pojedinaca i nekoliko organizacija tokom perioda od pet mjeseci. Istraživanjem su rukovodili Budimka Mićković i Michelle Stern. U svim fazama istraživanja učestvovalo je oko 30 pojedinaca. Kancelarije Centra za preduzetništvo i ekonomski razvoj u Podgorici, Nikšiću, Kotoru, Ulcinju i Bijelom Polju prušile su logističku podršku u fazi prikupljanja podataka. Posebnu zahvalnost dugujemo grupi od 300 žena koje su sa nama zajednički radile na ovom istršivanju. One nisu samo odgovorile na upitnik, već su pri tome dale značajne podatke o sebi, svojim vidjenjima, načinu razmišljanja i očekivanjima. Bez njih ne bi bilo ni ovog istraživanja. Organizacije koje su radile zajedno na ovom istraživanju imaju dugogodišnju reputaciju u oblasti istraživanja i ekonomskih analiza. Centar za preduzetništvo i ekonomski razvoj (CEED) iz Podgorice, Crna Gora je prvi konsalting centar u Crnoj Gori osnovan sa ciljem da podršava preduzetništvo i ekonomski razvoj. Misija CEED-a je da kroz svoje programe, projekte i aktivnosti zalaganja promoviše i praktično primjenjuje u Crnoj Gori ideje slobodnog tršišta, preduzetništva i privatnog vlasništva u otvorenom i demokratskom društvu uz vladavinu prava. CEED je osnovan da potrebnim znanjem pomogne preduzetnicima koji su se počeli pojavljivati nakon raspada bivše Jugoslavije. Ubrzo je postalo evidentno da je većini novih preduzetnika bila potrebna praktična i prilagodjena obuka da bi olakšali započinjanje i vodjenje svojih biznisa. Osnovne usluge koje je CEED nudi uključuju: Istraživanje, ekonomski pregledi i razvoj baze podataka za mala i srednja preduzeća; ekonomske analize; analize i preporuke politika; aktivnosti zlaganja; izrada biznis planova za ambiciozne preduzetnike; osnovna i napredna obuka za započinjanje novog i za vodjenje postojećeg biznisa. Fondacija Kvinna till Kvinna podršava žene koje šive pod uticajem rata i konflikata u zapadu Balkana. Saradjuju sa ženskim organizacijama sa Kosovu, iz Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske, Makedonije, Albanije i iz Izraela/Palestine. Zalašu se da pomognu fizički i psihički oporavak žena iz ratom obuhvaćenih područja. Oni šele da osposobe i podrše žene kako bi dobrinijele ponovnoj izgradnji demokratskog društva. Centar za medjunarodno privatno preduzetništvo (CIPE), podrušnica Privredne Komore Sjedinjenih Američkih Dršava, radi na izgradnji demokratije i tršišnih ekonomija širom svijeta. CIPE djeluje kroz četiri osnovne oblasti: grant programi kojima trenutno podršava preko 90 domaćih organizacija zemalja u razvoju, nagradjivanje najboljih u strategiji komunikacije, trening programi obuke, i tehnička pomoć preko svojih predstavništava i kancelarija. Od svog osnivanja 1983. godine CIPE je finansirao više od 700 projekata u 80 zemalja i sproveo je programe obuke iz oblasti menadšmenta širom svijeta.

4. CILJEVI ISTRA@IVANJA Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi da li žene u Crnoj Gori vjeruju da postoji diskriminacija na radnom mjestu i u procesu zapošljavanja. Do sada se o ovakvim pitanjima nije diskutovalo u Crnoj Gori i veoma je vašno razumjeti ih prije nego se dalje aktuelizuju i na njih zatraže odgovori. Ovaj projekat je realizovan kao inicijalni korak sa prevashodnim ciljem da se poboljša pološaj žena u crnogorskom društvu. Osnovni zadaci projekta bili su odredjivanje: � Da li su žene u Crnoj Gori diskriminisane na radnim mjestima ili dok traže posao; � Kako su žene tretirane tokom procesa zapošljavanja; � Kako se diskriminacija, ukoliko postoji, manifestuje; � Da li i same žene smatraju da imaju manje mogućnosti u procesu zapošljavanja i na radnom mjestu u

odnosu na muskarce; � Kako žene vide svoj uspjeh u biznisu. Rezultati dobijeni nakon sprovodjenja istraživanja izrašavaju mišljenja i iskustva 300 žena različite starosne strukture, obrazovanja i djelatnosti. Struktura uzorka (prema godinama starosti, nivou obrazovanja i prema tome da li su zaposlene ili ne) nije bila determinisana kvotama jer smo šeljeli da dobijemo precizan opis populacije. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću upitnika (PRILOG A) koji je obuhvatio tri kategorije žena prema zaposlenosti: (1) zaposlene – žene koje trenutno rade; (2) ranije zaposlene – nezaposlene žene koje su ranije bile zaposlene, a sada traže posao; i (3) nezaposlene – žene koje nikad nisu radile i traže posao. Na pitanja koja se odnose na zaposlenost i diskriminaciju na radnom mjestu odgovarale su ispitanice koje su trenutno zaposlene, kao i one koje su ranije radile, a sada traže posao. Tako da smo uzeli u obzir odgovore obje grupe bez obzira da li trenutno rade ili ne. Priprema istraživanja je trajala dva mjeseca. Prikupljanje podataka je trajalo 15 dana, a bilo je angašovano 19 anketara. Zatim se pristupilo unošenju i obradi dobijenih podataka iz upitnika. Analize i rezultati su dobijeni pomoću SPSS softvera.

5. REZIME Ispitanice koje smo intervjuisali u cilju sprovodjenja istraživanja pripadaju starosnoj dobi od 18 do 65 godina. Gotovo polovina ispitanih žena ima završenu srednju školu, dok je 48% njih završilo višu školu, univerzitet ili postdiplomske studije. Većina ispitanica, 46,7%, šivi u centralnom dijelu Crne Gore, dok ih je 30% iz sjevernog dijela i 23,3% iz jušnog dijela Crne Gore. 1. Zaposlenost

U pogledu zaposlenja, 53% ispitanica iz uzorka je trenutno zaposleno, 31% njih je ranije radilo i sada traže posao i 16% ispitanih žena iz uzorka nije nikad radilo, ali traže zaposlenje. Djelatnosti u kojima radi najveći broj ispitanica su administracija, maloprodaja i proizvodnja. Skoro 88% ispitanica rade na poziciji zaposlenog, dok ih je samo 7,2% na poziciji menadšera i vlasnika. Preko 60% žena koje su dobile otkaz sa prethodnog posla kao razlog su navele stečaj firme. Više od polovine onih koje su samovoljno napustile svoj prethodni posao učinile su to zbog porodičnih razloga i/ili zbog toga što su ostale u drugom stanju). Samo 5% ispitanica je napustilo prethodni posao jer su našle bolji posao. @ene u Crnoj Gori češće rade u djelatnostima koje su tipično “ženske.” U samo 3,2% slučajeva je šenu koja je otišla sa prethodnog radnog mjesta zamijenio muškarac. Većina ispitanih žena smatra da radi posao za koji su kvalifikovane.

2. Diskriminacija na radnom mjestu Oko 40% ispitanica vjeruje da je to što su žene bilo na neki način vašan faktor uticaja na njihove poslodavce u procesu zapošljavanja, a naročito u djelatnostima maloprodaje i ugostiteljstva. Na pitanje da li imaju jednake šanse za napredovanjem u poslu kao njihove kolege broj pozitivnih odgovora je bio gotovo jednak broju negativnih odgovora. Samo 19% ispitanica ima šenu za pretpostavljenog na radnom mjestu, a u trećini organizacija gdje je zaposleno više žena nego muškaraca, pretpostavljeni je muškarac. Skoro 40% ispitanica iz uzorka smatra da mora iznova da dokazuje da su njihove sposobnosti jednake sposobnostima njihovih kolega stalno ili ponekad. Većina žena vjeruje da su im plate na jednakom nivou sa platama njihovih kolega. Istraživanje je uključilo i nekoliko pitanja koja se odnose na seksualno uznemiravanje, a rezultati su pokazali da ovakvi problemi nisu naročito prisutni u Crnoj Gori. 3. Mišljenja ispitanica

Više od polovine ispitanih žena smatra da muškarci lakše nalaze zaposlenje nego žene, prvenstveno zato što imaju veći izbor i zbog prisutnih predrasuda koje ne idu u prilog ženama. Preko 60% ispitanica vjeruje da postoji podjela na “muške” i “ženske” poslove u Crnoj Gori i da ta podjela nije ispravna, isključujući poslove gdje je potrebna fizička kvalifikacija. Muškarci i žene su konkurisali za isti posao u manje od polovine slučajeva. Većina žena koje smo intervjuisali se takodje slaše da žene teše pronalaze zadovoljavajući, dobro plaćen posao nego muškarci. Najčešći uzrok tome je to što su ženama porodične obaveze prioritetnije i što muškarci imaju korisnije i bolje medjusobne veze i uglavnom se nalaze u ulogama donosioca odluka.

6. PREPORUKE

Preporuke koje su zasnovane na rezultatima dobijenim iz istraživanja i na zaključcima do kojih je došao istraživački tim su sledeće: � Potrebna izrada i primjena programa ohrabrivanja djevojaka i žena kako bi se što više obrazovale i

prihvatale odgovornija radna mjesta . � Potrebno je ubijediti i navesti žene da traže posao i u djelatnostima u kojima se tradicionalno

zapošljavaju muškarci. � Preduzeća treba da preispitaju svoje strategije i politike kako bi se ustanovilo zašto žensko osoblje

teško ili nikako ne unapredjuju na pozicije donosioca odluka. � Ovo istraživanje je odgovorilo na neka od pitanja, ali je takodje otvorilo nova, tako da je potrebno

sprovesti dodatna istraživanja u Crnoj Gori sa tematikom odnosa polova. � Potrebno je započeti kampanju koja bi uvela pitanja odnosa polova u javne debate. � Vlada, privatni sektor i zaposlene žene treba zajedno da rade na kreiranju politika koje će omogućiti

pozitivniji ambijent života i rada za oba pola.

��� Navedene preporuke su izvedene iz sprovedenog istraživanja. Centar za preduzetništvo i ekonomski razvoj je spreman da učestvuje u realizaciji ovih aktivnosti koje su preporučene na osnovu rezultata ovog istraživanja.

7. UKRATKO O CRNOJ GORI

7.1 GEOGRAFSKI POLO@AJ Crna Gora se nalazi na jugoistoku Evrope, u centralnom dijelu Balkanskog poluostrva na obali Jadranskog mora. Crne Gore je uglavnom planinska, a dolina rijeke Zete u oblasti Skadarskog jezera i Nikšićko Polje čine najveću niziju i najplodiniji dio Crne Gore. Crna Gora se graniči sa Hrvatkom i Bosnom i Hercegovinom na zapadu, sa Srbijom na sjeveru, Albanijom na istoku i Italijom preko Jadranskog mora. Teritorija Crne Gore iznosi 13.812 km² sa 300 km dugom obalom. Glavni grad je Podgorica i nalazi se u centralnom dijelu Crne Gore. Geografski pološaj zemlje omogućava pogodne uslove za odredjene ekonomske aktivnosti, a prije svega za transport i turizam.

7.2 OPŠTI EKONOMSKI RAZVOJ Privredne aktivnosti u Crnoj Gori su uglavnom skoncentrisane u centralnom dijelu gdje se nalaze glavni grad Podgorica i Nikšić. Ostale opštine sa intenzivnim privrednim aktivnostima su Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje i Berane na sjeveru i Bar, Herceg Novi i Budva na jugu. Crna Gora poslednjih nekoliko godina uz pomoć inostranih organizacija i donatora sprovodi proces ekonomskih reformi koje će u potpunosti promijeniti i poboljšati postojeći sistem. Jedna od ključnih je zakonska reforma. Serija novih poreskih zakona, kao i Zakon o privrednim društvima, Zakon o energetici, Antikorupcijski zakon, Zakon o turizmu, Zakon o hartijama o vrijednosti i mnogi drugi će omogućiti kreiranje boljeg ambijenta za vodjenje biznisa. Proces privatizacje se sprovodi putem masovne vaučerske privatizacije, putem batch sales i putem tendera. Do sada je privatizovano preko 60% dršavne imovine i najznačajnije kompanije kao što su Telekom, Jugopetrol, Kombinat aluminijuma i većina hotela su u procesu privatizacije ili su već privatizovani. Razvoj efikasnog tršišta kapitala je bio neophodan preduslov za realizaciju reformi. U Crnoj Gori danas postoje dvije Berze, Montegro Berza i NEX Montenegro Berza. Do kraja 2002. godine se na berzama očekuje i trgovina akcijama privatizacionih fondova. Zadovoljavajući je broj ovlašćenih brokera i dilera za rad na ove dvije berze. Ekonomski i politički kolaps Jugoslavije uzrokovao je gubitak od 57% ekonomske snage koju je Crna Gora imala do 1993. godine. Zatvorenost bivše Jugoslavije i istočnoevropskog tršišta, rat u okrušenju, ekonomska blokada Jugoslavije, nemogućnost tranzita i komunikacija doveli su do smanjenja ekonomskih aktivnosti. Nakon 1995. godine nastupio je kratak period oporavka koji je prekinut ratom na Kosovu. Bruto domaći proizvod po glavi stanovnika je u 2001. godini iznosio US$1.899. Crna Gora je 1999. godine preuzela njemačku marku kao sredstvo plaćanja, a u januaru 2002. godine je prešla na EURO. Konverzija u EURO predstavljala je jednu od najvećih novčanih operacija u Crnoj Gori i ocijenjena je kao uspješna. Inflacija uzrokovana konverzijom u EURO imala je uticaja na crnogorsku ekonomiju, kao što je to bio slučaj i sa ostalim evropskim zemljama. Prema procjenama CEED-a stopa inflacije u 2002. godini dostići će nivo od 18%.

7.3 STANOVNIŠTVO Prema popisu stanovništva koji je sproveden 1991. godine, u Crnoj Gori šivi 615.000 stanovnika. Procjena Zavoda za statistiku Crne Gore je da je 1999. godine Crna Gora imala 650.758 stanovnika, prema stopi rasta od 5,8%. Nešto više od polovine stanovništva čine žene. Procjene pokazuju blagi porast broja stanovnika tokom devedesetih godina što je vjerovatno posljedica migracija u regionu tokom ratova u toj dekadi. Prije II Svjetskog rata broj djece u porodici je bio značajno veći nego nakon rata, a naročito nakon 1948. godine od kada je stopa rasta u konstantnom padu. Ovakva slika se moše objasniti boljim uslovima života i činjenicom da su žene u Crnoj Gori obrazovanije i rijedje se odlučuju da imaju više od dvoje djece. Takodje je vjerovatno da roditelji šele manju porodicu kako bi se lakše suočili sa ekonomskim krizama. Stopa novorodjene djece je opala sa 33,06/1.000 stanovnika u 1953. godini na 13,57 u 1999. godini, što znači da crnogorska populacija stari. Ova situacija je imala dvostruki uticaj na profesionalni život žene. S obzirom da imaju manje djece, ostaje im više vremena da rade i da se obrazuju, a sa druge strane raste potreba da rade i zapošljavaju se kako opada broj radno sposobnih stanovnika.

7.4 ZAPOSLENOST “Radno sposobno stanovništvo” obuhvata muškarce u dobi od 15 do 64 godine starosti i žene u dobi od 15 do 59 godina starosti. Prema zvaničnim podacima radno sposobno stanovništvo u Crnoj Gori čini 399.241 osoba, od čega je 182.055 ili 45,6% žena. Od ovog broja, 285.258 osoba čini aktivnu radnu snagu, od čega je 43,75% ili 124.825 žena. 181.762 osobe koje su radno aktivne su zaposlene, a 39,65% ili 72.075 zaposlenih su žene. Uprkos brojnim programima pokrenutim u cilju smanjenja stope nezaposlenosti, broj nezaposlenih u Crnoj Gori je u porastu. Od ukupnog broja nezaposlenih 60% su žene. Oko 15.000 novih radnih mjesta je godišnje otvarano u poslednjih nekoliko godina i 80.000 nezaposlenih gradjana se prijavljivalo za ta radna mjesta – u prosjeku po šest prijava za svako od tih radnih mjesta. Interesovanje je čak i veće za radna mjesta na kojim uglavnom rade žene. Većina žena (60,2%) radi u vanprivrednim djelatnostima, dok 34,8% njih radi u privredi. Veoma je čest slučaj zapošljavanja u tkz. “sivoj ekonomiji” zbog visokih poreza i doprinosa koje su poslodavci u obavezi da plaćaju za radnike, a djelatnosti u kojima je “siva ekonomija” najzastupljenija su upravo oni u kojima se uglavnom zapošljavaju žene (npr. trgovina). Tako da je veoma veliki broj žena koje rade u “sivoj ekonomiji”. Prema izvršenim istraživanjima, 25% žena koje rade u “sivoj ekonomiji” su zaposlene na tim radnim mjestima od 6 do 12 mjeseci i skoro je isti procenat onih koje su zaposlene bez osnovnih radnih i socijalnih prava predvidjenih Zakonom.

9.1.5 Uzroci nezaposlenosti Od ukupnog broja nezaposlenih žena koje bezuspješno traže posao 50% njih smatra da je uzrok tome to što rodjaci i prijatelji poslodavca dobijaju posao. 25% njih smatra da je uzrok tome njihova nedovoljna stručnost ili iskustvo i 12,5% njih misli da su njihove godine starosti uzrok njihove nezaposlenosti. U 8,3% slučajeva se desilo da je poslodavac tražio isključivo muškarca za to radno mjesto, a u 4,2% slučajeva ispitanice su nezaposlene iz nekih drugih razloga, ali očekuju posao.

9.1.6 Uzroci zbog kojih ispitanice koje su ranije radile sada ne rade 58,1% ispitanica koje su ranije radile je dobilo otkaz; dok je ostalih 41,9% samovoljno napustilo posao.

9.1.7 Uzroci dobijanja otkaza Oko 61,0% ispitanica koje su dobile otkaz je izjavilo da je do toga došlo zbog stečaja preduzeća. Sa druge strane, 14,8% njih vjeruje da je do otkaza došlo jer je poslodavac našao bolju osobu za taj posao. Nezadovoljstvo uslijed niskih zarada razlog je dobijanja otkaza za 5,6% ispitanica; isti procenat ispitanica je iznio lične razloge kao uzrok. Interesantno je da je 3,7% ispitanica dobilo otkaz jer su se šalile na ponašanje muškaraca. Još jedan interesantan podatak je da 5,6% ispitanica ne zna zašto je dobilo otkaz. Ostale su dobile otkaz zbog godina starosti ili zato što su ostale u drugom stanju (3,8%).

9.1.8 Uzroci napuštanja posla Do samovoljnog napuštanja posla ispitanica je u 30,8% slučajeva došlo zbog porodičnih razloga, u 23,1% slučajeva jer su ispitanice ostale u drugom stanju i u 17,9% slučajeva zbog nedovoljne zarade. Skoro 13% ispitanica iz uzorka se nije osjećalo prijatno kao žena na radnom mjestu. 5% ispitanica je pronašlo bolji posao, isti procenat njih misli da poslodavac nije bio zadovoljan njihovim radom, dok je isti procenat ispitanica napustio posao zbog odlaska u penziju. Dakle, više od pola ispitanica je prestalo da radi kako bi se brinule o djeci ili drugim članovima porodice.

9.1.9 Zamjena na prethodnom poslu 34,4% nezaposlenih žena koje su ranije radile zamijenila je žena. U 31,2% slučajeva zamjene nije bilo, u istom broju slučajeva ispitanice ne znaju ko ih je zamijenio (ako je uopšte bilo zamjene) i u 3,2% slučajeva zamjena je bio muškarac.

9.1.11 Da li ispitanice smatraju da rade posao za koji su stručno osposobljene? Pozitivan odgovor na ovo pitanje smo dobili od 73,8% ispitanica sa radnim iskustvom; dok 26,2% njih smatra da ne radi posao u struci. Oko 44,0% ispitanica koje smatraju da ne rade posao u struci navode da je razlog tome to što nema potrašnje za radnom snagom njihovih kvalifikacija; oko 22,7% njih još uvijek nije tražilo posao za koji su kvalifikovane; 15,2% smatra da prednost imaju prijatelji i rodjaci poslodavca; 10,6% smatra da njihove sposobnosti nisu iskorišćene na pravi način u organizaciji; 4,5% navodi svoje porodične razloge za to (šena nije uvijek u mogućnosti da ispuni odredjene obaveze, npr. često putovanje); 1,5% misli da se za posao za koji su kvalifikovane smatra da je tradicionalno “muški” posao; isti procenat ispitanica koje smatraju da ne rade posao za koji su kvalifikovane vjeruje da je razlog tome njihova starosna dob.

Unakrsne tabele: Naredna tabela pokazuje da li ispitanice smatraju da rade posao za koji su kvalifikovane sa aspekta njihovog obrazovanja. 65% ispitanica koje smatraju da ne rade posao za koji su kvalifikovane je završilo srednju školu, 19% višu školu i 12% njih je završilo fakultet.

9.2 DISKRIMINACIJA NA RADNOM MJESTU

9.2.1 Vašnost pola prilikom zapošljavanja Od ukupnog broja ispitanica koje imaju radnog iskustva, 20,2% njih je odgovorilo da je njihov poslodavac naglasio da on/ona traži isključivo šenu za to radno mjesto. Isti procenat ispitanica je odgovorio da je pol zaposlenog kao uslov postojao, ali da nije bio obavezan. 59,5% ispitanica smatra da pol zaposlenog nije bio relevantan za to radno mjesto.

Unakrsne tabele: Naredna tabele pokazuje da li je pol zaposlenog bio relevantan za poslodavce u različitim djelatnostima. @ene koje rade u maloprodaji i djelimično one koje rade u ugostiteljstvu, odgovorile su potvrdno na ovo pitanje u znatno većem broju nego ispitanice iz ostalih djelatnosti.

Rezultati su pokazali da je u 26,6% organizacija gdje je zaposleno više žena rukovodilac/menadšer muškarac. 9.2.5 Podredjeni 34,9% ispitanica koje imaju radno iskustvo ima podredjenih muškaraca na radnom mjestu; dok 65,1% njih nema podredjenih muškaraca u organizaciji. Medju ispitanicama koje su pretpostavljene muškarcima 43,2% njih smatra da muškarcima to ne smeta, dok 42% ispitanica ne zna šta muškarci misle o tome. Na pitanje “Da li Vama to smeta?” 86,2% njih je reklo da nema problema s tim, dok 14,8% ispitanica vidi to kao problem.

9.2.6 Dokazivanje radnih sposobnosti Što se tiče dokazivanja radnih sposobnosti 14,7% ispitanica sa radnim iskustvom iz uzorka smatra da mora stalno da dokazuje da raspolaše sposobnostima jednakim sposobnostima njihovih kolega. Sa druge strane, 16,3% se izjasnilo da moraju da se dokazuju ponekad; 21,8% rijetko i 47,2% nikad. Interesantan je podatak da ispitanice koje imaju veći stepen obrazovanja ne moraju često iznova da dokazuju da su jednako sposobne kao njihove kolege.

9.2.7 Odnos plata 6,7% ispitanica sa radnim iskustvom je navelo da njihove kolege muškarci koji su na istoj radnoj poziciji imaju veće plate nego one; 60,7% njih je reklo da su im plate iste; u 4,4% slučajeva žene imaju veću platu i 28,2% ispitanica nema informaciju o platama. Od 6,7% ispitanca koje su rekle da muškarci imaju veću platu, 29% rade u maloprodaji dok 29% njih radi u proizvodnji. Ovakvih situacija nema u obrazovanju i medijima. 47,1% ispitanica koje su rekle da muškarci imaju veću platu je završilo srednju školu; 29,4% višu; dok je 11,7% njih završilo fakultet.

uznemiravanja od strane nadredjenog, 3,3% njih ističe da ih je neko drugi na poslu uznemiravao na ovaj način. U 3,7% slučajeva ove situacije se dešavaju više nego jednom.

� Praćenje, uhodjenje: 0,3% ispitanica sa radnim iskustvom navodi u anketi na ovaj vid

uznemiravanja od strane nadredjenog, dok 0,3% njih ističe da ih je neko drugi na poslu uznemiravao na ovaj način.

� Otvoreni poziv na seks: 0,7% ispitanica sa radnim iskustvom navodi u anketi na ovaj vid

uznemiravanja od strane njihovog pretpostavljenog; 0,3% njih navodi da ih je neko drugi na poslu uznemiravao na ovaj način.

odgovorila na ovo pitanje. 9.2.9 Trudničko bolovanje 8,3% ispitanica koje imaju radno iskustvo ima problema sa obezbjedjivanjem trudničkog bolovanja, dok 91,7% njih nema takvih problema ili još uvijek nisu koristile trudničko bolovanje. 38% ispitanica koje imaju problema sa obezbjedjivanjem trudničkog bolovanja su zaposlene u maloprodaji, a 48% njih ima najviše srednjoškolsko obrazovanje. 9.2.10 Zahtjevi za posebnim oblačenjem Od ukupnog broja ispitanica koje moraju da oblače posebnu odjeću na poslu prema zahtjevu nadredjenog, 3,2% njih se osjeća neprijatno zbog toga, dok 66,7% nema problema s tim. 30,2% ispitanica mora da oblači posebnu odjeću na poslu zbog same prirode posla. Ispitanice koje su u većem broju navodile ovaj oblik uznemiravanja rade u ugostiteljstvu (63%) i maloprodaji (37%).

9.3 MIŠLJENJA ISPITANICA

9.3.1 Teškoće u pronalašenju posla 49,3% ispitanica iz uzorka vjeruju da se muškarci lakše zapošljavaju nego žene. Za ovakva uvjerenja, one su dale sledeća objašnjenja: muškarci imaju veći izbor i šanse (22,3%); predrasude (21,6%); ženama je vašnija porodica (16,9%); muške veze – poslodavci su većinom muškarci (12,8%); zbog porodiljskog odsustva (9,5%); fizičke prednosti su na muškoj strani (6,8%) i nema objašnjenja (10,1%).

9.3.2 Konkurencija za posao U 48,3% slučajeva muškarci i žene nisu konkurisali za isti posao, dok su u 45,3% slučajeva konkurisali i jedni i drugi. 6,3% ispitanica nije znalo da li je, pored nje, za taj posao konkurisao muškarac, druga žena ili je ona bila jedini kandidat.

Unakrsne tabele: Naredna tabela pokazuje u kojim djelatnostima su i muškarci i žene konkurisali za isti posao. Značajan zaključak je da ispitanice vjeruju da se muškarci i žene bore za isti posao u tipično ženskim djelatnostima (maloprodaja, obrazovanje i ugostiteljstvo) u podjednakoj mjeri koliko i u ostalim djelatnostima (proizvodnja, administracija).

9.3.3 Vašnost pola prilikom zapošljavanja 28,3% ispitanica je navelo da je poslodavcu bio vašan pol novozaposlenog; 39,7% njih smatra da to nije bilo značajan uslov prilikom zapošljavanja i 32% ispitanica ne zna koliki je značaj pola zaposlenog za

61

poslodavca. Ponovo su maloprodaja i ugostiteljstvo djelatnosti u kojima se pol novozaposlenog smatra značajnim za poslodavca. 9.3.4 Podjela poslova Na pitanje “Da li mislite da postoji podjela na “muške” i “ženske” poslove, osim u poslovima gdje su potrebne fizičke sposobnosti?”, ispitanice su odgovorile sledeće: 60,7% njih vjeruje da podjela postoji i da ona nije ispravna; 23,0% ispitanica smatra da podjela ne postoji i ne treba da postoji; 15,0% ispitanica je odgovorilo da podjela postoji i treba da postoji i 1,3% njih smatra da podjela ne postoji, ali bi trebalo.

9.3.6 Zašto muškarci lakše nalaze posao kojim su zadovoljni Ispitanice koje smatraju da muškarci lakše nego žene nalaze zadovoljavajući, dobro plaćen posao navele su sledeće uzroke za koje misle da do toga dovode: ženama su porodične obaveze vašnije nego njihova karijera (34,2%); poslodavci su u većini slučajeva muškarci (24,9%); muške veze i poznanstva (medjusobno se pomašu na osnovu ranijih prijateljstava) (22,8%); postojeći zakonski okvir (8,8%); ne znam (7,8%); predrasude (0,5%); nedostatak zadovoljavajućih poslova (0,5%); svi navedeni razlozi zajedno (0,5%).

10. ZAKLJU^CI

10.1 KOMENTARI 10.1.1 U procesu zapošljavanja Sve žene iz uzorka su odgovarale na pitanja koja se odnose na proces zapošljavanja, uključujući zaposlene, one koje su ranije radile i nezaposlene. Preko polovine ispitanica iz istraživanja koje nisu dobile posao za koji su konkurisale navele su da je taj posao dobio prijatelj ili rodjak poslodavca, što ukazuje da je nepotizam značajn problem u Crnoj Gori. Medjutim, i žene imaju koristi od ovakvog sistema, jer je 41,3% ispitanica dobilo posao putem preporuke. Ipak, nije svako dovoljno srećan da posjeduje dobre veze. Preko 25% ispitanih žena u dobi od 22 do 44 godine trenutno traže posao. Prema podacima Instituta za strateške studije i prognoze, stopa nezaposlenosti je oko 19%, dok je naše istraživanje pokazalo da 48% ispitanica iz uzorka traže posao. Više od 40% ispitanica je reklo da je poslodavcu vašan pol zaposlenog kada zapošljava nove radnike, naročito u ugostiteljstvu i maloprodaji. Ovo je primjetno i kroz oglase/konkurse u medijima u kojima se tačno odredjuje da li poslodavac traži šenu ili muškarca za odredjeni posao. 10.1.2 Na radnom mjestu Osnovna analiza istraživanja pokazuje da 84% žena iz uzorka ima odredjeno profesionalno iskustvo – 53% njih je trenutno zaposleno, a 31% je ranije radilo. Oko 87% žena iz uzorka (bilo) je zaposleno puno radno vrijeme (uključujući sezonske radnice). Anketari nisu prethodno pitali ispitanice da li su formalno registrovane kao zaposlene ili rade “na crno”. @ene koje imaju veći stepen obrazovanja su u većem broju zaposlene, nego one sa nišim stepenom obrazovanja. Ovim se moše objasniti zašto sve više mladih žena studira. 43% ispitanica u dobi od 41 do 50 godina starosti ima završenu srednju školu i samo 19% njih završen fakultet; dok je 47% ispitanica u dobi od 22 do 30 godina starosti završilo srednju školu, a 28% fakultet. Ovo istraživanje pokazuje da je u 81% slučajeva nadredjeni muškarac. Samo je nekoliko žena u uzorku koje su na pološaju donosioca odluka. Većina žena iz uzorka radi u administraciji ili drugoj tipično ženskoj djelatnosti, kao što su zdravstvo ili obrazovanje, dok ih je 14,7% zaposleno u proizvodnji i samo 6% su menadšeri ili vlasnice preduzeća. 73,8% žena iz uzorka koje su trenutno zaposlene ili su ranije radile smatra da radi posao za koji su kvalifikovane. Medjutim, mora se postaviti pitanje zašto žene uglavnom rade na pozicijama podredjenog u organizaciji. Ostalih 26,2% ispitanica iz uzorka je odgovorilo da ne rade posao za koji su kvalifikovane, od čega 65% njih ima završenu srednju školu, a 31% je završilo višu školu ili fakultet. Iz ovoga mošemo zaključiti da su žene zadovoljnije poslom koji rade ukoliko je nivo njihovog obrazovanja viši. Preko 44% ispitanica koje vjeruju da ne rade posao za koji su kvalifikovane, razlog za to navode to što nema zadovoljavajućih poslova, što je neutralno sa stanovišta polne diskriminacije. 30% njih za razloge navode da je posao namijenjen nekom drugom, da njihove sposobnosti nisu adekvatno iskorišćene, ili su navele porodične razloge. Drugim riječima, smatraju da su prekvalifikovane za taj posao. Nedostatak dobrih poslova je problem i za muškarce i za žene u Crnoj Gori danas, ali se čini da žene moraju da prevazilaze i neke dodatne poteškoće. Samo 6,7% ispitanica iz uzorka je odgovorilo da muškarci na istim pozicijama imaju veće plate nego one. Ukoliko isključimo 28,2% ispitanica koje su odgovorile da ne znaju da li postoje razlike u platama, čini se da ne postoji diskriminacija žena u Crnoj Gori u pogledu iznosa plata koje primaju. Medjutim, druga istraživanja pokazuju da zaista postoji razlika u platama. Prema Istraživanju o prihodima i rashodima domaćinstava 4 koje je objavio Institut za strateške studije i prognoze, muškarci u Crnoj Gori

Page 65: Discrimination of women in employment process

Diskriminacija žena u procesu zapošljavanja i na radnom mjestu

64

primaju u prosjeku za €30.00 veće plate na mjesečnom nivou, uzimajući u obzir jednakost nivoa obrazovanja. UNDP je pokazao slične rezultate. Iako je moguće da su žene iz našeg uzorka izuzetak iz ovog pravila, takodje je moguće da one iz nekog razloga nisu svjesne razlika u platama. Što se tiče seksualnog uznemiravanja, samo relativno mali broj ispitanica priznaje da su zlostavljane na radnom mjestu. Crnogorski mentalitet je još uvijek patrijarhalan i većina žena misli da same treba se suočavaju sa takvim problemima, ne obraćajući se nikom za pomoć ili razgovor. Pri tome, ljudi još uvijek nisu upoznati sa pojmovima “diskriminacija” i “zlostavljanje/uznemiravanje”. Ovo istraživanje je uključilo samo nekoliko pitanja na ovu temu, tako da je nivo seksualnog uznemiravanja zanemarljiv, pa bi ovo mogla biti oblast za neko naredno istraživanje. 10.1.3 Napuštanje posla i otkaz ^injenica da od ukupnog broja ispitanica koje su dobile otkaz, njih 61,1% kao razlog navodi stečaj firme, potvrdjuje ekonomsku situaciju u Crnoj Gori. Iako ispitanice nisu navele polnu diskriminaciju kao uzrok, praksa otpuštanja žena sa posla prije nego muškaraca je tipična za privrede u tranziciji. Od 41,9% ispitanica koje su ranije radile, ali su samovoljno napustile posao, 23,1% njih je to uradilo jer su ostale u drugom stanju. S obzirom da je zakonska regulative obezbjedjivanja porodiljskog i trudničkog odsustva u Crnoj Gori veoma povoljna, dobijeni podaci indiciraju da su neke od ispitanica mošda bile primorane da napuste posao ili neke od njih mošda nisu uspjele da usklade porodične i poslovne obaveze. Oko 34% ispitanica koje su ranije radile zamijenila je druga žena na prethodnom radnom mjestu, dok ih je u samo 3,2% slučajeva zamijenio muškarac. Ovo bi moglo značiti da postoje odredjeni poslovi i radna mjesta kreirana isključivo za žene. 10.1.4 Šta žene misle Odgovori na pitanja koja se odnose na mišljenja ispitanica ukazuju da većina njih osjeća da diskriminacija zaista postoji u Crnoj Gori. Oko 61% ispitanica vjeruje da postoji podjela na “muške” i “ženske” poslove i da ta podjela nije ispravna. Ovome u prilog govori i podatak da je na bivšem radnom mjestu muškarac zamijenio samo nekoliko žena. Medjutim, u ovako teškim ekonomskim uslovima, situacija bi mogla biti drugačija, jer su ljudi spremni da rade bilo koji posao koji mogu dobiti. Rezultati našeg istraživanja pokazuju da i muškarci i žene konkurišu za posao u svim djelatnostima, kako u onim tradicionalno muškim djelatnostima kao što je proizvodnja, tako i u tradicionalno ženskim djelatnostima kao što je obrazovanje. Ovo bi mogla biti interesantna tema za naredno istraživanje. Podaci pokazuju da 64,3% ispitanica misli da je ženama teše nego muškarcima da nadju zadovoljavajući, dobro plaćen posao. U prilog tome govori i činjenica da samo nekoliko žena iz našeg uzorka radi na rukovodećoj poziciji. Ovo bi takodje mogla biti interesantna tema za neko od narednih istraživanja, ali bi neki od mogućih razloga za ovu situaciju moglo biti i to da žene imaju niši nivo obrazovanja, imaju manje radnog iskustva, ili da su privršenije porodici i manje posvećene poslu. Prema podacima iz našeg istraživanja, čini se da poslodavci radije muškarcima povjeravaju poslove koji se odnose na donošenje odluka. Od ukupnog broja ispitanica koje smatraju da žene teše nalaze zadovoljavajući posao, 34,2% njih kao razlog za to navode činjenicu da su ženama porodične obaveze prioritet u odnosu na njihovu karijeru. Bilo bi interesantno saznati koliko njih osjeća da nije bilo u stanju da ispuni svoje profesionalne ciljeve jer su im bile nametnute porodične obaveze i koliko njih je izabralo taj put. Većina žena je navela “poslodavac je muškarac” ili “muške veze i poznanstva” kao moguće razloge za to što su žene na “drugorazrednim” pozicijama. 10.1.5 Zaključak Kada još jednom razmotrimo odgovor na pitanja koja se odnose na iskustva sa radnog mjesta, čini se da ispitanice ne došivljavaju diskriminaciju kao ozbiljan problem. Jedno od objašnjenja bi moglo biti to da je bivši komunistički rešim žene tretirao kao ravnopravne u svakom pogledu. Još jedno objašnjenje bi

Page 66: Discrimination of women in employment process

Diskriminacija žena u procesu zapošljavanja i na radnom mjestu

65

bilo i to da se Crnogorci sada suočavaju sa ekonomskom krizom i više su orjentisani na rješavanja egzistencijalnih pitanja, nego na rješavanja pitanja odnosa polova. Treće objašnjenje za to da ispitanice iz uzorka ne vide diskriminaciju kao ozbiljan problem bi mogla biti činjenica da se ovakvo istraživanje po prvi put sprovodi u Crnoj Gori. Teme kao što je diskriminacija ili seksualno uznemiravaje nisu uobičajene i žene nisu spremne da o tome javno govore. Interesantno je da odgovori koji se odnose na pitanja o mišljenjima ispitanica daju drugačiju sliku prema kojoj je diskriminacija zaista zastupljena u društvu. U trenutnim ekonomskim uslovima, uz ograničen broj raspološivih radnih mjesta, doprinos porodičnom budšetu predstavlja veću motivaciju za radom nego ostvarivanje ličnog i profesionalnog zadovoljstva. Jasno je da žene u Crnoj Gori podnose dvostruko opterećenje: finansiranje porodice, sa jedne strane, i ispunjavanje porodičnih obaveza, sa druge strane. Mnogi, i muškarci i žene, vjeruju da žena lako moše da postigne oboje. Medjutim, žene bi trebalo da se zapitaju oko izbora svojih prioriteta, da li je vašnije posvetiti se porodici ili doprinositi porodičnom budšetu. U našem istraživanju se pokazalo da porodične obaveze za žene imaju prioritet u odnosu na profesionalne ciljeve. Kako se privreda bude razvijala, tako će se formirati i više dobrih poslova i žene u Crnoj Gori će imati više mogućnosti da rade u različitim djelatnostima i na različitim pozicijama. Za sada nema jakih poslovnih udrušenja za žene. Biće interesantno vidjeti da uz rast i razvoj privrede žene izaberu da budu aktivni učesnici razvoja. Ostali članovi društva, uključujući vladu, regulatorne organe, poslodavce i članove porodica, koji imaju uticaja na život žena bi takodje mogli doprinijeti transformaciji uloge žena u crnogorskom društvu. Ovo istraživanje potvrdjuje neka prethodna zapašanja i pretpostavke o pološaju žena u poslovnom svijetu u Crnoj Gori i kako se one u njemu snalaze. Dobijeni rezultati nam omogućavaju da izvučemo odredjene zaključke, kao i da otvorimo nova pitanja. Jasno je da postoji potreba za dodatnim istraživanjem iz ove oblasti i moramo se zapitati na koja pitanja da pokušamo odgovoriti i koje bi se aktivnosti trebalo preduzeti.
