RESILIENCE OF REGIONAL EMPLOYMENT, UNEMPLOYMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE REPUBLIC CROATIA

Abstract

Signifi cant turbulences of the global economy in the recent period have had heterogeneous consequences at the local and regional level. This has been in focus of the scientific community, resulting in the promotion of the concept of resilience as the ability of a particular system to adapt during and after a particular negative shock. The analysis of labor market resilience at the county level in the Republic of Croatia included an analysis of the resistance and elasticity of these markets through the prism of employment, unemployment and participation. Empirical results highlighted Zadar County as the most resistant regional labor market in the Republic of Croatia. At the same time, the heterogeneity of the remaining results pointed to the complexity of labor market relations, as well as the clear need for further research.
