Sažetak
Croatia is recognized in the world for its beautiful islands, clean sea and healthy food and water. Croatian islands as gems of this country should be highly desirable destinations for living and working, but that is not the case. They are desirable as a tourist destination, but there are rarely people interested in permanent residence. Vacancies are announced several times and there are no interested workers. What is the cause of this? Is it due to an unfavorable expenditure structure for active labor market policy and are active measures needed to increase employment on the islands? It is necessary to attract young families to the islands, which will result in a change in the demographic picture, which is worrying according to the last population census. A comparative analysis of the situation on the larger Croatian islands would provide guidelines on how to attract people to the island. Active employment policy measures are directed towards creating conditions for living and working on the island which would lead to the revitalization of life on the Croatian islands. The basis of this approach is in the National Island Development Plan 2021–2027 which was drafted by the Ministry of Regional Development and European Union Funds but which is not comprehensive. It is necessary to create conditions for employers enabling them to employ the unemployed persons. It is also necessary to raise the level of employability, to create and preserve jobs, to motivate people to live and work on the island. It is necessary to preserve regional identity, preserve the particularities, tradition and continuity, to use the free labor market and information technologies, as well as to establish educational institutions on the islands as a cornerstone of prosperity
