Empowering Croatia’s Future: Enhancing Youth Employment and Skills Development provides a comprehensive analysis of youth employment challenges and policy recommendations. The key barriers identified are:

Demand-Side: Limited quality job creation opportunities, regulatory burdens, and limited access to finance
Supply-Side: Skills mismatches, lack of practical work experience, and societal/care responsibilities that limit labor market participation
Systemic Deficiencies: Fragmented information systems and limited data for informed decision-making

The report recommends a strategic approach with three priority areas:

1. Strengthening Labor Market Information Systems (LMIS) through real-time data integration, skill forecasting, and enhanced job matching solutions for better decision-making
2. Deploying lifelong human capital development solutions, including dynamic education reforms, expanding work-based learning, and prioritizing green/digital skills
3. Tailoring services to diverse target groups through better profiling, flexible support mechanisms, and modernized digital services

The recommendations emphasize considering the impacts of green and digital transitions while addressing structural barriers to youth employment. Successful implementation would require coordinated efforts across government institutions, education systems, and private sector stakeholders.

The analysis suggests that closing remaining gaps in the LMIS, reforming education systems, and modernizing employment services could significantly improve youth labor market outcomes by 2025.
