Abstract

Hrvatsku je povijest obilježilo nekoliko masovnih valova iseljavanja, a posljednji val koji je započeo pristupanjem Republike Hrvatske Europskoj uniji traje i dan danas. Posljednjih godina
posebna pažnja usmjerena je na emigraciju mladih i obrazovanih ljudi koji iz Hrvatske odlaze
u potrazi za kvalitetnijim životom, boljom plaćom i generalno boljim uvjetima rada.
Iseljavanje je najčešće rezultat međudjelovanja potisnih čimbenika u zemlji polazištu i
privlačnih čimbenika u zemlji odredištu emigranata, a ovaj rad posebnu pažnju posvećuje
utjecaju ekonomskih odrednica na odluke o iseljavanju. Navedene ekonomske odrednice
prvenstveno se odnose na problem nezaposlenosti mladih i visinu neto plaće. Neusklađenost
obrazovnog sustava sa potrebama na tržištu rada doprinosi rastu nezaposlenosti mladih osoba
nakon izlaska iz sustava obrazovanja. Više neto plaće u inozemstvu jedan su od najčešće
navođenih razloga o iseljavanju stoga su među odabranim europskim zemljama uspoređene
prosječne neto plaće za pojedina zanimanja te su te razlike stavljene u kontekst troškova života
čime je utvrđeno da se u odabranim zemljama živi kvalitetnije nego u Hrvatskoj. U svrhu
analize utjecaja nezaposlenosti i visine plaće na emigraciju iz Republike Hrvatske, provedena
je jednostavna linearna regresija i korelacijska analiza koje su utvrdile negativnu vezu između
emigracije i visine plaće te pozitivnu vezu između emigracije i nezaposlenosti što je u skladu
s ekonomskom i migracijskom teorijom.
Za utvrđivanje stavova i percepcije mladih o iseljavanju kao i njihovog trenutnog položaja na
tržištu rada Republike Hrvatske, provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje u obliku anketnog
upitnika na uzorku od 167 ispitanika te je dan prikaz rezultata istraživanja uz analizu dobivenih odgovora.

Abstract (english)

Croatian history has been marked by several mass waves of emigration. The last wave that began with the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union continues to this day. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the emigration of young and educated people who leave Croatia in search of a better life, higher wages and generally better working conditions.
Emigration is most often a result of the interaction of repressive factors in the country of origin and attractive factors in the country of destination of emigrants and this paper pays special attention to the influence of economic determinants on emigration decisions. The mismatch of the education system with the needs of the labour matket contribues to the growth of youth unemployment after leaving the education system. Higher net wages abroad are one of the most
frequently cited reason for emigration, so average monthly net wages for some occupations were compared among selected European countries and these differences were placed in the context of the cost of living which established that life in selected countries is of better quality
than in Croatia. In order to analyze the impact of unemployment and wage level on emigration from the Republic of Croatia, a simple linear regression and correlation analysis were performed and found a negative relationship between emigration and wages and a positive relationship between emigration and unemployment which is in line with economic and migration theory.
To determine the attitudes and perceptions of young people about emigration as well as their current position on the labor market in Croatia, an empirical research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire on a sample of 167 respondents and the results of the research are presented.
