When we hear the word homeless, we picture our own

 image of a poor man. Some feel sorry, some you do

 they turn a blind eye to them. But many times we hear people say yes

 they are lazy people who do not feel like working and that it is their own fault

 position. However, this is not always true, as every homeless person carries

 your story and your reasons for your position.

 This article is about the causes that lead people to homelessness.

 Today’s society is for many compared to society

 good in the past. We have a higher standard than we used to, folks

 we have our own houses, our own family, young people separate from ours

 parents and we try to live on our own… However, this is only one

 side of the story of modern society, because as a contrast on the other

 ever-increasing hardships of socially vulnerable groups appear

 people, that is, people who cannot get a job, who live from day to day

 in the day, which are marked in one way or another.

 In addition to these problems, there are also mental difficulties that can be

 a reflection of the too fast pace of current life or a reflection of hardship,

 which comes from the desire to survive.

 In modern society, the social production of wealth is

 systematically linked to the social production of risks. Z

 it appeared with the development of industrial or class society

 the question of how to distribute the produced wealth unequally and

 at the same time legitimate. This definitely leads to a risk society,

 because it can happen to any one of us to land in the middle

 those to whom wealth will not be equally distributed. Because

 it can also be called a society of inequality.

 In the 1980s and 1990s, many cities

 in the most developed countries faced with homelessness and growing

 the population of people in housing distress. When aggravated

 the supply of affordable housing has also grown

 the number of households in short-term emergency accommodation

 arrangements.

 A study in Council of Europe member states showed that

 the following are the most exposed to housing risks

 groups: low-income families, unemployed, people,

 addicted to alcohol and drugs, poorly educated, single parent

 households, large families, ethnic minorities, especially Roma,

 people with psychosocial disabilities, youth who stayed behind

 without parental support.

 Homelessness as a response to social vulnerability and as

 the biggest form of housing risk is ever increasing.

 However, modern homeless people do not fit in developed societies

 more classic images of a bum, an acute alcoholic or

 of traditional klateža, which is most often attributed to them.

 New homeless people have different characteristics. He is among them

 more and more young people, women with children and psychiatric users

 institutions. Organizations that work with the European Union

 homeless people, note that homelessness is in most cases

 a transitional period that often occurs at breakthroughs

 moments of the life cycle such as the departure of parents or divorce.

 There are several definitions of homelessness, but they all stem from the fact that

 homeless are those who do not have permanent accommodation.

The homeless are those who live and sleep on the roads, there are also those who

 who live in shacks, trailers and similar inappropriate

 buildings, as well as those that have a very low standard and

 they don’t have their own apartments.

 The homeless population has certain characteristics that

 we can briefly summarize:

 • For most, homelessness is only a temporary condition.

 • Increasingly, homelessness occurs in the most vulnerable

 moments of life – during the transition to adulthood and independence,

 in case of divorces, etc.

 • More than half of the homeless are aged between 20 and 39.

 • The vast majority of them have been employed at some point in their lives, mostly

 in casual and non-permanent jobs.

• Most have an education that does not go beyond elementary school.

 • Most of them belong to the dominant ethnic group in

 the country.

 • Previously, the majority of homeless people were men, in the 1990s

 years, 40% of them are women.

 The vast majority of men in this population are single; at

 for men, homelessness is often associated with incapacity

 establishing lasting interpersonal relationships, and for women with

 withdrawal from domestic violence.

 Housing crises and homelessness are the result of the web

 circumstances, namely on the one hand individual decisions and

 characteristics of affected individuals, and social characteristics on the other

 circumstances that determine the range of his options. A case of

 the interweaving of the micro level, which concerns the individual, and the macro level

 level that concerns the social structures to which the individual

 he cannot influence himself.

 Listed below are several factors that lead to

 housing and homelessness issues:

 • Growing number of households

 In today’s society, population growth is slower

 or even stagnates, while the number of households is growing a lot. This one

 change means greater need and greater demand for

 residential units. Due to the increasing number of people who

 they cannot find suitable housing, they become pathological

 housing situations that often lead to forced

 housing relations. This, in turn, increases the volume of housing

 problems.

 • New poverty and growing unemployment

 Globalization processes and structural changes in the market

 labor force caused a sharp increase in the number of unemployed

 and the resulting increased pressure on social housing.

 Most developed economies produce people whose

 potential productivity is so low that they privately

 the economy does not want to hire at a price that comes close

 normal living standards. Long-term unemployment, which

 often accompanied by despair over employment, and permanent dependence on

 support increases the number of poor. This is also active housing

 issues that can lead to homelessness.

 • Housing privatization and unaffordability

 apartments

 Privatization of housing has disadvantaged low-income groups

 incomes to access public rental housing at a moderate rate

 values. Also, apartment prices are often too high for

 people with lower incomes and unemployed, which again leads to

 housing issue.

 Despite privatization, the state takes care of people to some extent

 housing rights. It leaves less room for the vulnerable population

 dependence on the interests of the private sector. With private

 the sector participates and it with incentives and reasoning

 of contractual partnership relationships is directed towards respect

 set standards. But sometimes to housing services

 of the private sector sets price, quality and legal

 standards.

 • Mental problems;

 The reason for homelessness can also be the helplessness of the individual

 deal with problems. Some succeed through individual

 or group solutions, but not others and it can be one of

 also results in homelessness. However, in my opinion

 homelessness is by no means only a negative consequence

 individual problems, but it can also be positive,

 namely when among other homeless people and in a new way

 the individual finds his own life again and lives

 a new, completely different life.

• Youth homelessness

 Recently, more and more young people are becoming homeless.

 The age limit of the homeless population is being lowered. Get young

 they decide on this way out of poverty or lack, or because

 inability to control one’s own life. Most of the time it works

 for young homeless people, for those who abuse alcohol or drugs,

 who have dropped out of the education system, who live in institutions,

 whose parents or guardians have died, who do not get along with their parents,

 unemployed, refugees, etc.

 • Problems in the family

 Family issues are also a very important factor

 at risk of homelessness. In adults, marital quarrels and

 divorce is a common reason for deciding to live in homelessness,

 in young people, quarrels in the family are the cause of brittleness

 identity, so the young person organizes his life in such a way that

 this becomes consistent with his inner feelings which

 was experienced in the family, which conditions the emergence of various forms

 street life.

 • Educational structure

 A lower level of education can be a risk factor as well

 between the young and the elderly, which can also lead to

 homelessness.

 • Abuse of drugs, cigarettes and alcohol

 Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes can quickly lead a person to

 a path of addiction whose main goal is to get to them again and again. A

 does not go without money, so in some cases the individual

 first he borrows from friends, steals money or sells things,

 but when he can’t go any further, he goes to the street and begs.

 • Social rejection

 • Running away from home and from various institutions

 • Fatalism – devotion to fate

 • Immigration and inability to get housing

 • Desire for a different life

 These are just some of the possible causes that lead to housing

 and homeless issues. External circumstances could

 described as a “stage”, where it is from the individual, his

 abilities and resources, whether he will step on it or not

 will be able to avoid it with his or someone else’s help.

 Based on knowledge about today’s risk society and according to

 a series of factors that influence the emergence of homelessness, so

 we really can no longer say that all homeless people are also lazy.

 Some may be true, but the rest may be a series of others

 factors that led to this situation.
