The problem of unemployment in the Republic of Croatia has been pronounced from the very beginning and has not been solved to this day. If we look at the very concept and types of unemployment, Croatia currently has predominantly structural unemployment. The consequence of unemployment in the Republic of Croatia is manifested through the behavior of society; more and more poor families and a decline in the happiness scale of individual countries. Although today's trends, which we can see in the Republic of Croatia, are that unemployment is falling, exports of products and services are growing and GDP per capita is still growing, what worries the Republic of Croatia and the labor market in the Republic of Croatia is that many people the highest young population is also emigrating. Compared to other countries, ie developed countries of the European Union, wages are still very low, and if reforms in the field of labor entrepreneurship and taxes are not made, Croatia will continue to lose young people, which will lead to an aging population and brain drain. High taxes and state levies reduce wages that employers can pay workers. In addition to the above, there is a personal preference of workers to work in their own country and it is one of the factors that will influence the decisions of the worker whether to do a particular job or not and whether to work in their own country or not. Unfortunately, because of this personal preference, people think that they are paid and that they can live much better and more beautifully abroad, so they decide to leave the country. If Croatia does not change its policy and strategy, it faces much bigger problems than unemployment, such as labor shortages, an aging population, declining populations and possible economic problems such as the collapse of the pension system, state budget deficits and the overall destabilization of the country's economy.
