Sažetak
Regardless of the fact if they are constituted of left-or right-wing parties, the governments of transition countries - EU members, should realize the importance of the growth of the investment activity aimed to reduce the unemployment rate, in order to achieve their set goal in conducting the measures of their economic policy. Should the right-wing governments rather follow their political viewpoint, and at the same time they would still want to reduce the unemployment together with other set economic goals, than they should put bigger ponder on increasing investment activities, than it is usually done by left-wing governments, because the impact of the investments in reducing unemployment rate is lesser than with left-wing governments. However, if the right-wing governments should opportunistically turn more to centreoriented voters, instead of following their own ideological programme, that would enable them slightly easier position in suppression of unemployment, because of the growing impact of the investments to the unemployment. On the other hand, left-wing governments’ effort to increase investment activity would produce more impact to unemployment suppression than right wings’, but if they opportunistically turn to centre-oriented voters this would create slightly more difficult position reducing the impact of investments to unemployment, compared to the situation when they would follow their own left-wing programme. All Croatian governments, regardless of their respective ideologies, should aim to increase investment activity in order to reduce unemployment, which would have bigger influence in comparison with other transition countries of EU. Moreover, right-wing Croatian governments could easier influence unemployment reduction by increasing investment activity compared to other transition countries, without 'necessity' to turn towards 'centre-oriented' voters.
