 Abstract:

At a time of demographic changes and a growing labor shortage, finding employ­ees, and above all competent employees, is the focus of companies. This paper will discuss hu­man resources and the Croatian labor market. The research was conducted in 2018, and the fi­nal sample for analysis included 1041 respondents, the results obtained on the research ques­tions are the result of the respondents’ judgment. From the analysis of the conducted research, it emerges that 11% of respondents believe that they are not ready for the Croatian labor mar­ket. Respondents cited unfair relations in the labor market (bribery, corruption, employment through connections) as the main reason for insufficient readiness for the Croatian labor mar­ket. They cite the lack of application of knowledge in practice as the main disadvantage of high­er education, and considering the situation of mismatch between the education system and the labor market, 60% of respondents are aware that they are responsible for their competitiveness in the labor market.
