Sažetak
The subject of analysis in this paper are the structural characteristic of the high value added service sector in the Republic of Croatia and comparison with other European Union member states, in the time period from 2010 to 2020. High value added services (information and communication ; professional, scientific and technical activities ; administrative and support service activities) are very important for the entire economy, since they directly contribute to increasing efficiency and competitiveness, as well as the implementation of innovations in business. The aim of these paper is to analyze shares of high value added service sector in number of totally employed, wage adjusted labour productivity and gross operating rate. The results of research indicate that the movements of structural characteristics of Croatian high value added service sector are complied with structural characteristics of high value added service sector of other European Union member states. If the Republic of Croatia will continue to develop, and it can be assumed that the development process will harmonize the economic structures with the typical structure of the European Union member states, it is likely that the largest number of new jobs will be created in the high value added service sector. The expected contribution of this paper is unique research of structural characteristics of high value added service sector since there are no existing comparative research that analyze high value added service sector in Croatia and other European Union member states in longer term. The conclusion of this research has practical value for economic policy decision makers, who should focus on competitiveness strengthening through decrease of regulatory and administrative burden and stimulation of European Union funds usage. These policies should finally be useful for achievement of higher level of services export, competitiveness and growth of other economic sectors.
