Sažetak
Flexicurity comes from the words flexibility and security. The term flexicurity dates back to the 90s of the twentieth century and means employment security, not job security, in fact, it should be a worker protection institute, not a workplace protection institute. This paper will explore the possibilities and challenges of applying flexicurity within labor relations and the labor market of the Republic of Croatia. After the war, the unemployment in the Republic of Croatia was high. What is important to do in such a situation is to strengthen the economy in the country, employ workers, taking into account social standards to preserve the dignity of workers, because the crisis in the new EU member states has led to precarious labor, whose characteristics are insecurity, fixed-term employment, almost nonexistent workers' rights, preferring illegal work, seasonal work etc. Each EU member state needs to build its own path leading to employment security and to social standards appropriate to that particular country. Most experts in this field believe that current labor law institutes will have to change or adapt to labor market conditions, but that's not a quick and easy task. The Croatian labor market must also change in terms of employment protection, payroll, social unemployment measures, labor disputes. According to Professors Bodiroga and Laleta there are possibilities for this and these are: - higher labor market flexibility that affects the reduction of unemployment and -one-off structural reforms In this way flexicurity would reach its full potential in practice. The professors give preference to the German "new model" that brings out the best from the current state so that it is apparent that the application of this model results in high employment.
