Summary/Abstract: The biggest problem Croatia is facing at the moment is mass emigration of its workforce. This situation has several factors in its background, such as: terrible economic situation, inability of employment, lack of perspective for young people, slow, large and inefficient public administration, financial instability, poor standard of living, tax repression, job insecurity, and insufficient engagement of the State to improve conditions through education reform and better use of available resources of the state. Most common reasons of emigration of our workforce are better job opportunities and better salary, better working and life conditions in the country of immigration, better possibilities for education and specialization, better possibilities of fulfilling ones values, acknowledged status according to effort and devotion, better and safer existence. It is both urgent and necessary to keep the workforce and stop its emigration because without young and perspective people and their creative ideas, there will be lack of development and prosperity in Croatia. Methods used in this paper were: method of analysis, method of synthesis, method of case study and method of observation.
