One of the three macroeconomic issues is unemployment. This problem is faced by almost all countries in the world, some in smaller and some in a larger percentage. Unemployment today is a major social and economic problem because, in addition to unemployment, there are other problems that harm the economy of one country, and especially the individual. The consequences that unemployment can cause, be it in economic, political, or social terms, are becoming increasingly visible. In Croatia, almost all age groups are in the area of high unemployment, which is higher than the average of the European Union. As a result of the great economic crisis of 2008 and the crisis caused by the coronavirus we are currently facing, unemployment is at a very high level and the age group with the highest unemployment rate is young people. For years, Croatia has been facing a high unemployment rate and an increasing share of the discouraged. The biggest reason for this market situation is the mismatch between the labor market and the education system. This structural problem requires a certain period of time in order to get into the problem and try to solve it. One of the leading problems in Croatia is also the fact that young people enter the labor market late and thus reduce the rate of young people in employment. It is extremely important to get into the problem and create an adequate solution. Each country is specific in terms of unemployment, and for the same reason, the measures are taken by countries to address this problem differ. The European Union has taken a supporting role and is submitting adequate measures that apply to all members.
