The Employment Stimulation Programme
Vlada Republike Hrvatske
Sažetak
All modern societies today are concerned with the issues of high unemployment rates, i.e. insufficiently high employment rates. The problem is, however, not the same everywhere, because individual countries differ considerably in regards of employment and unemployment rates. Unfortunately, Croatia belongs to the countries with exceptionally unfavourable trends of the labour market. In the end of November 2001 the Croatian Employment Bureau registered 383.5 thousand of the unemployed, which accounts for the (administrative) unemployment rate of 22.3%. In the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 it continued to grow. Faced with that, the Croatian Employment Bureau prepared, and the Government of the Republic of Croatia issued this “Employment Stimulation Programme”. It is a complex programme primarily directed towards certain groups of persons who are considered to be at a particular risk of unemployment. These are: a) highly educated young persons; b) qualified young persons who have difficulties to realise the necessary practice that preceded real employment; c) older unemployed persons who most frequently need additional education; d) disabled persons and other persons with the factor of aggravated employment and e) Croatian defenders who also have difficulties at finding employment. The “Employment Stimulation Programme” was published in the Popular Gazette No. 21 dated March 6, 2002. By publishing it again in the Journal of Social Policy we wish to stimulate its wider presentation, critical evaluation and the subsequent assessment of its success. Before the text of the Programme itself, we are publishing the analysis made by the Croatian Employment Bureau, which is particularly focused on the unemployment of young persons in the Republic of Croatia.
