Sažetak
There are still substantial differences regarding the overall unemployment between various islands in Croatia. This is mostly an outcome of the general economic development and effectiveness of the local labour market measures. Activity of local communities in reducing unemployment is of primarily importance because localities are in the best place to implement national and regional strategies into action. Local island actors can best comprehend local aspirations, conditions and needs. The text explains the activities and experiences of the EU and the local initiative on the islands, and the problems of institutional organisation. The paper offers policy recommendations to increase employment opportunities and the wellbeing people can expect from work. This includes sound urban administration and broad access to public services and infrastructure that can help to enhance the employment-creation benefits of economic development and facilitate women’s and youths’ access to the labour market and employment.
