Sažetak
Increased migration to the Republic of Croatia increases the number of foreign workers available on the labor market. In recent years, Varaždin County has recorded a significant growth of foreign workers in various industries. The secondary research analyzed the number of foreign workers in 2019 and 2020 who are currently registered in Varaždin County. Conducted interviews with companies operating in the food, footwear, textile, and pharmaceutical industries collected qualitative data on the importance of foreign workers both for the companies themselves and for the county's economy. The research provides answers to questions about the long-term need for foreign workers, their involvement in business processes, possible barriers they face (linguistic and technological), but also sees the problem of their inclusion in the local community in terms of prejudice, culture and language.
