Measures to Encourage Employment in the Republic of Croatia

Sažetak
The common labour market features of all post-communist societies are: decreased employment in the social (state) sector, newly development jobs in smaller private enterprises, increased self-employment, increased unemployment and increased employment in the informal economy. In combination with other factors, the result is an increased danger of labour market segmentation and stratification, which “marginalizes” some categories of the labour force. They become poorly paid, have insecure jobs or their jobs are even abolished. It is therefore necessary to continually observe the labour market and to undertake adequate measures to regulate it. So far, Croatia has not had any significant experience in introducing and administering special employment programmes, as they have been applied in countries with developed market economies. Despite that, specific measures to solve and diminish unemployment and to boost employment have been present in the Croatian employment policy for a long time now. Due to the significantly reduced employment opportunities in Croatia in the second half of the 1980’s and in the early 1990’s, and increased unemployment and war sufferings, it was necessary to intervene on the labour market, in order to help citizens who had been most severely affected. It was necessary to encourage individuals to exercise initiative to resolve their unemployment problems. Having intensified its regular activities, the Croatian Employment Agency has introduced special measures to encourage employment, which, in the first half of 1994, included 14.634 persons.
