Finding a niche: Migrant economy in a city not promoting international migration

Zagreb and Croatia do not figure on the map of international mobilities ; Croatia has traditionally been an emigration country, which it remains to this day and Zagreb, though the capital city, practically does not attract foreign nationals at all nor does it include them in its development strategies. Foreign nationals' settlement is mostly linked to partnership with a Croatian citizen, who might have himself/herself been an international migrant before deciding to settle in Zagreb. The presentation analyses foreign nationals' economic activities in the context of local and national opportunity structures and institutional constraints on (migrant) entrepreneurship. It appears that the city does not live up to the 'scales' of these young/middle-aged, skilled and entrepreneurial immigrants' from all over the world.
