Istraživanje na temu „Socijalno-ekonomski uzroci i posljedice odlaska mladih iz Bosne i Hercegovine“ je imalo za cilj locirati, analizirati i utvrditi razloge, motive i povode za napuštanjem svoje domovine i odlaskom u druge destinacije na planeti Zemlji, s težištem na socijalno-ekonomske posljedice tih odlazaka. Autori u radu težišno analiziraju i interpretiraju teorijske i empirijske spoznaje o posljedicama koje uzrokuju odlasci mladih iz Bosne i Hercegovine.Polazeći od multidimenzionalnosti problema odlaska mladih iz Bosne i Hercegovine koji iziskuje identifikaciju faktora na individualnom, porodičnom i društvenom nivou i koji doprinose ovoj pojavi, istraživanje je fokusirano na individualne, endogene i institucionalne faktore koji uzrokuju odlazak mladih iz Bosne i Hercegovine, kao i na socijalnoekonomske posljedice koje odlazak mladih nosi sa sobom.U procesu istraživanja korištene su sljedeće metode i tehnike: analiza sadržaja, upitnik, intervju, studija slučaja, anketa i statistička metoda. Za uzorak je korišten stratifikovani uzorak vodeći računa o proporcionalnoj i teritorijalnoj zastupljenosti mladih. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 600 mladih osoba koje su u periodu istraživanja imale od 18 do 29 godina.Istraživanje provedeno u Bosni i Hercegovini u periodu 2019. godine i 2020. godine, pokazalo je da postoji više razloga, faktora i uzroka zašto mladi odlaze iz BiH te da su mladi ljudi, dobi od 18 do 29 godina, zastupljeni sa 69% od ukupnog broja onih koji odlaze, dok 31% pripadaju ostalim starosnim skupinama. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata založili smo se za implikaciju sagledavanja negativnih utjecaja socijalnih faktora na socijalno-ekonomske uzroke odlaska mladih iz Bosne i Hercegovine.

Social capital is used in interdisciplinary research as an analytical tool for explaining how culture, trust, and cooperation between people may be put into a function of general good, economic development and society in general. The objective of this paper consists of identification and analysis of status in the field of groups and networks, trust and solidarity, collective action and cooperation, information and communication, social cohesion and inclusion, and empowerment and political action, as key dimensions of social capital, and all in the context of overview of its significance in socio-economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the purpose of implementation of the named aim, a secondary and primary research has been conducted (by surveying 100 members of the top management teams in Bosnian and Herzegovinian SMEs). The research results show a relatively unsatisfactory status in the area of observed dimensions of social capital in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the decision makers and creators of socio-economic policies should put in a more significant effort in the area of development of social capital which has a significant potential in the context of incitement of socio-economic development.

The primary goal of this research was to ascertain which risk factors could serve as the most precise predictors of violent behaviour among elementary and high-school students. The research was conducted on a sample of 1209 students, between thirteen and seventeen years old, in five cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The risk factors assessment was done by means of SAVRY (Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth), a tool used for gauging the levels of risk factors. With the help of the SPSS 12.0 Statistical Procedures Companion, the collected data was processed by employing regression analysis. The results indicate that the onset of violent behaviour, academic success, inability to concentrate, alcohol abuse, history of domestic violence, as well as parental separation, are the main predictors of violent behaviour  among  the aforementioned category of students. These results form a solid foundation for future planning of treatments and activities with a goal to prevent such behaviour.
