Sažetak
Labor migration, as one of the forms of international migration, have played an important role in the era of globalization, where borders and restrictions to free movement of people, goods and capital are being removed. In order to attain highly skilled human capital which is an important factor of economic and social development, countries should increase their investments in education, science and technology thus creating favorable environment for researchers, scientists and other highly skilled workers. This paper analyzes the role and significance of the human capital. Furthermore, it researches motives, effects and trends of labor migration in Europe, together with the certain characteristics of labor markets which are presented in a comparative analysis of Croatia, FYR of Macedonia and Turkey (EU candidate countries) and selected EU countries. Since stable labor market is important condition for joining the EU, the purpose of the analysis was to see what level of convergence did the EU candidates reach so far.
