Sažetak
The paper examines the relationship between educational attainment and (un)employment. The main
objective of the paper is to examine the impact of educational level on unemployment in the Republic
of Croatia and the European Union (EU) average. For this purpose, the paper will provide an insight into
the evolution of the level of education and the evolution of employment and unemployment in Croatia
and the EU. The paper performs a correlation analysis for the ten-year period (2012 - 2022), which
shows that the employment rate is lowest for people with a low level of education and highest for
people with a high level of education, i.e. the unemployment rate is lowest for people with a high level
of education. Thus, the analysis carried out indicates that the increase in the number of highly qualified
people leads to a decrease in their share in unemployment. Considering the obtained results, additional
investments in higher education in the Republic of Croatia and the European Union are recommended.
