Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to analyse the problem of unemployment of highly educated people in Croatia. Analysis of unemployment structure according to the attained level of education and vacancies in Croatia indicates that, after completing tertiary education, more than 1/3 of people register with the Croatian employment service (HZZ)
as unemployed. The paper presents the structure and duration of unemployment of highly educated people, and presents details on unemployment by scientific field, with primary emphasis on the field of economics. Furthermore, some of the measures to reduce unemployment rates are listed, and their effectiveness is evaluated. Finally, the problem of mismatch between educational and employment policies is addressed and the most important institutions participating in the creation of equilibrium on the labour market of highly educated people are listed.
