This article presents the results of research supported by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs, into the labour market and employment of the most vulnerable categories of unemployed people in Slovenia. The research focused on seven vulnerable categories: homeless people, people with mental health problems, people suffering from drug addiction; people suffering from alcohol addiction; people with experience of violence, people undergoing post-penal treatments and people without a work permit. Respondents from the vulnerable categories claimed they did want a job, but under reasonable circumstances. The authors suggest that a lot of obstacles should be removed first in order to improve the labour market and employment situation.
