Labour market resilience, bottlenecks and spatial mobility in Croatia
After the Great Recession, unemployment rose quickly. During 2013-2014, Croatia registered unemployment rates above 17%, which were way over the EU 28 average.

| description | After the Great Recession, unemployment rose quickly. During 2013-2014, Croatia registered unemployment rates above 17%, which were way over the EU 28 average. Today, Croatia experiences bottlenecks on the labour market: job vacancies are increasingly lacking suitably skilled candidates. Thus, the Croatian labour market adapts poorly to both recession and the booming economy; in other words, the Croatian labour market has a low resilience. An economy with a high labour market resilience can benefit from a booming economy, while an economy in the opposite situation faces wage inflation and loss of competitiveness. This article aims to analyse and discuss the role of labour mobility in reducing labour market bottlenecks and thereby increasing labour market resilience in Croatia. |
