Sažetak
Globalization is an attempt at general restructuring of the world and, consequently, the labor market as well. The basic demand of globalization on the labor market is the demand for its flexibility, i.e. lowering labor costs. Therefore, this study will pay special attention to domination in the global world as the prevailing type of relationship between the countries of the global core, the leaders of the globalization process, and the countries of the global semi-periphery, which are the object of globalization. The scope of research for this study includes the implications of globalization for the European labor market, and the transfer of jobs from the countries of the global core to the countries of global semi-periphery and periphery. The results of research are based on the methods of analysis and synthesis as well as the factor assessment method, representing qualitative starting points for enhancing the quality of workforce and improving the global competitive position of the global semi-periphery and periphery.
