Changes in the Unemployment Structure of the S. R. Croatia
Nada Kerovec
Sažetak
In the post-war development of
the S. R. Croatia, there was open
current unemployment of various
scale and structure. The 'scale
was not determined only by changes
in employment, but also by
demographic factors, processes
of deagrarization, educational
output, spatial distribution of labour,
etc.
The unemployment structure according
to sex never underwent
any essential change. During the
whole post-war period most of the
the unemployed were women.
There have been great changes,
however, in the age structure of
the unemployed. The number of
younger unemployed workers
grew constantly. In 1960, 44 percent
of the total number of unemployed
were under 25, and in
1982, 64.5 percent of the unemployed
were under 25.
The greatest relative increase of
unemployment is among workers
with the highest education and
qualifications. There have been
no essential changes in their
structure (except, of course, in
the quantitative sense) — from
the beginning lawyers, economists
and graduates from faculties
of philosophy have been at
the head of the lists.
In the 1965—1982 period the
pressure of the agricultural population
on employment has continuously
decreased. In 1965 the
non-agrarian population made up
52.5 percent of the total number
of unemployed, in 1982 its participation
grew to 77.8 percent. Today
owners of farmland make up
only 3 percent of the total number
of unemployed, and members of agricultural households about
19 percent. Rural and agrarian
exodus resulted in a relatively
strong pressure on employment
in non-agricultural occupations
(mostly in the social sector). The
slowing down of the process of
deagrarianisation has greatly weakened
that pressure.
