From the available Eurostat data on trends by age group, it can also clearly be concluded that in the group of men aged 25 to 49, Croatia has reached the average employment rate for men at the EU level. In the case of women, it has actually surpassed the average. These employment trends have been more positive for women over the past two decades. The lag is only visible in the group of Croatian women aged 15 to 24, along with the aforementioned group of Croatian men aged 50 to 64.
A similar explanation was given by the Croatian Employment Service. When asked about the reasons why the employment rate for men is lower, their analysts claimed that Croatia isn’t at the bottom of the scale when looking at the employment rate for men aged 25 to 54. Four countries have lower employment rates for men in that age structure than Croatia, but this country is still lagging behind in terms of the employment rate for men aged 55 to 64. One of the reasons for this, according to the Croatian Employment Service, is the relatively large levels of early retirement.

CES analysts also pointed to the fact that in some EU countries such as Belgium and Luxembourg, the employment rate of men is also low, and they cite relatively high pensions as the reason for this.
It’s also interesting to note that in neighbouring Slovenia, with which Croatia so often loves to to compare itself, the employment rate of men recorded a decline in the observed period. It dropped from from 81.9% to 79.9%, and this contributed to the overall Slovenian employment rate also experiencing a downward trend. In most EU countries, the general employment rate has been increasing over the past three years, with a few exceptions where a decline has been recorded, such as in Finland and Sweden.
