Sažetak
In this paper the author discusses the position of women on the Croatian labour market as well as those of the European Union countries. Special attention is given to the women's position in employment and unemployment and also their position on the regional labour markets in the country. Although many good results in women's position on the labour market in general have been achieved in the long run, numerous indicators show that it is still much worse than the position of men: the rate of women's economic activity and employment is much lower, the unemployment rate higher, women on average wait for a job longer, the concentration of women employed in certain typically female sectors is still quite high etc. Such a situation calls for the need to consider possibilities for opening up and broadening employment flexibility, for women still have to coordinate their commitments in the family and at the work place. Non-standard forms of employment are an ever more frequent reality, but not all of them are equally welcome. The advantage of non-standard modes of employment is in providing women with employment possibilities beyond traditional standard models. On the other hand, however, employment and income security is lower here, bringing along with it the risk of marginalisation on the labour market, which certainly needs to be considered.
