Sažetak
Long-term unemployment (when a person is jobless for more
than 12 months) can have serious negative consequences for the
individual, society and its economic system. People who are
unemployed for a long-term period find it more difficult to be
employed as time goes by. Long-term unemployed persons often
have limited employability, due to their low level of educational
attainment, loss of skills and the substantial expenditures that are
necessary to restore these skills. They also face significantly lower
earnings and restricted career prospects. The participation rate of
the long-term unemployed in employment programmes is usually
very low. The article considers the significance of long-term
unemployment in Croatia and measures for its reduction.
