Sažetak
In the light of these caveats, we argue that it is necessary to provide a context for youth work development and illustrate present-day attempts to professionalise this practice. This chapter consists of three sections, which together follow a logical matrix: con- textualisation – problem identification – policy response. Consequently, the first section provides a historical perspective of youth work development in Croatia. The second section offers an overview of Croatian youth policy with a particular emphasis on youth work, discussing the definition of youth work in Croatia, the platform of its practice, and what influences its framing in the way it is conceptualised today. In the third section, we delineate and analyse a number of issues and propose policy solutions regarding youth work regulation. The idea of this chapter is to critically examine youth work policy initiatives at the national level or, in other words, to offer an interpretation of the ongoing process of youth work professionalisation. We seek to provide a coherent academic argument about youth work as a policy priority, and offer some recommendations as well, aiming to make a contribution to holistic youth policy development in a national context.
