Sažetak
This study presents a broad picture of the current state of social inclusion and social protection in Croatia as it prepares to complete its Joint Inclusion Memorandum (JIM) on the road to accession to the European Union. It provides up-to-date information on the extent and pattern of poverty and social exclusion set in historical perspective, and also looks at the broad strategic emphasis of government policy and the role of diverse stakeholders. The report provides an overview of the structure, challenges and current and proposed reforms of the social protection/social welfare, pensions and health care systems. It identifies key future challenges for the modernisation of these systems to improve their effectiveness in combating social exclusion. Finally, in the context of current JIM processes, it outlines broad recommendations for reforms in the medium-term. This summary provides a brief overview of the report, in English and Croatian languages.
