Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the Croatian labour market and its main issue - shortages of workers due to population emigration. Standard of living, working conditions, workforce and labour market are the most important determinants of economic development. Stable employment leads to economic growth and the ability to keep growing even during a financial crisis. That is why it is important to keep the workforce as the source of skills and knowledge inside the country, although there are various impacts on labour shortages. The paper presents information about the Croatian labour market, its working conditions, why emigration is Croatia's biggest issue and how the country can prevent people from leaving it. Furthermore, it analyses the situation in the labour market in Croatia during the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected the whole world, while presenting an example of a lack of health workers in Croatia due to emigration to Germany.
