DAJANA MARIA HORVAT ; Sveučilište Sjever, Koprivnica

Sažetak

Increased migration to the Republic of Croatia increases the number of foreign
workers available on the labor market. In recent years, Varaždin County
has recorded a significant growth of foreign workers in various industries. The
secondary research conducted an analysis of the number of foreign workers in
2019 and 2020 who are currently registered in the Varaždin County. Conducted
interviews with companies operating in the food, textile and pharmaceutical industries
collected qualitative data on the importance of foreign workers both
for the companies themselves and for the county’s economy. The research provides
answers to questions about the long-term need for foreign workers, their
involvement in business processes, possible barriers they face (linguistic and technological),
but also sees the problem of their inclusion in the local community
in terms of prejudice, culture and language.
