Sažetak
Proclaimed gender equality and legal regulation in the area of labour market have yet to yield satisfactory results for unemployed women. During job interviews, women are subjected to some forms of discrimination that should have been put behind us, both according to the legal system in force and according to the social practice of the EU. However, it seems that this is not the case, at least according to the results of the 2007 research on the sample of unemployed women in Croatia. These results show that the practice of gender discrimination of women during hiring and later employment persists, thus hindering many unemployed women the possibility of a truly equal access to employment, and without resolving their already threatened existential conditions. The paper presents some of the research results that show certain elements of gender discrimination at the labour market in Croatia, analysing some important issues of gender equality and equal employment opportunities of unemployed women in Croatia.
