Sažetak
Unemployment, along with other negative phenomenon’s, over the past few years has been affecting the Republic of Croatia and its inhabitants. Unemployment is one of the biggest problems of today that affects not only the individuals, but also their close family and in the end the wider community. Croatia records high youth unemployment. The task of the state is to suppress unemployment and make it easier for young people to enter the labor market because long-term unemployment causes loss of self-confidence and negative consequences for further professional development. At the EU level since 1981, the Youth Guarantee works to guarantee education, training and employment for young people in line with the goals and needs of the economy. When we talk about the consequences of long- term unemployment, we can divide them into the social and psychological consequences of long- term unemployment that will be elaborated in this paper. Social consequences include changes in work ethics and work values due to long-term unemployment and aggressive reaction to unemployment, such as criminal acts and delinquent behavior. Long-term unemployment and exclusion from labor market also leads to the forgetting of previously acquired knowledge and skills, lagging behind the latest trends in the labor market, which makes the job search process even more difficult. For reducing unemployment, it is necessary to implement measures for mitigation of youth unemployment. The aim of the paper is to analize the consequences of youth unemployment and to explore the experience in solving this problem of selected European countries: The Republic of Croatia, Austria, Portugal and England. The role of the state and its institutions must be proactive through active employment policies. According to research, the best solution for reducing youth unemployment is political and social commitment to full employment.
