Croatia: Impact of Europeanization on Skill Formation
This chapter sets out to elaborate how Europeanization fits in the current institutional state of the Croatian skill formation regime, qualified as ‘predominantly statist, with partial collectivism in training for occupations in skilled trades’. Text provides outlines of demographic and industrial context, followed by depiction of linkages between the education system and labour market. Main features of the social partnership and its role in functioning of the national skill formation system are also explored. The chapter contains two important cases studies on Europeanization in the national system: on development of apprenticeship schemes and introduction of the national qualification system. Both indicate that role of Europeanization can be understood as the one of “great accelerator”. On one hand it pushes policymakers to ‘play catch- up’ with more developed member states, while on the other functions as a repository of (re)usable policy idea and source of funding to back up their implementation. However, institutional change remains sluggish as layering, rather than displacement, represents the dominant mechanism of institutional change in the Croatian skill formation system. This can be interpreted by three lines of argument: i) path dependence, creating a dominant position of the central state in early 1990s which was not coupled with adequate policymaking capacity ; ii) lack of interest, capacity and ambition of non-state actors to assume more prominent role and iii) structural factors, primarily protracted abundance of qualified labour force, hindering employers’ investment in innovation and human capital.
