The Role of Educational System in Obtaining Employability and Competitiveness of Croatian Labour Force

Summary/Abstract: In a knowledge-based society, the creation and use of knowledge and ideas are crucial in the production of wealth. A key determinant of knowledge-based societies is human capital, or, in other words, employee expertise and skill. When speaking of a given economy's competitiveness, labour force competitiveness is always the focus of particular attention. One of the most important factors in labour force competitiveness is the national educational system. This study provides a theoretical framework for assessing the educational system as a determinant of employability and competitiveness of the labour force. Particular attention is dedicated to the situation in Croatia: the educational structure, the educational system, current knowledge and expertise, and employer attitudes towards education and competitiveness of the labour force. These major themes are brought together in the conclusion which also provides several proposals for improvement.
