Professionals View of Croatian Rural Youth Opportunities

Unemployment among rural youth in croatia is high. In 2001, more than 37% of the youth in Croatia were unemployed (Globalis, 2009). Some authors have suggested that the educational system is in crisis and this coupled with the possible accession into the European Union could have tremendous impact on rural youth in communities across Croatia (Slaus, Slaus-kokotovic & Morovic, 2004). The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of selected Croatian agricultural professionals regarding opportunities for rual youth. The objective were to 1) identify key issues that professionals agree were of greatest concerns for rural youth in Croatia and 2) identify educational issues where professionals understanding of policy would exceed youth capacity to know or to respond accurately.
