Labour Market Services

Rad analizira usluge tržišta rada, kao jednu od intervencija politike tržišta rada. Ove usluge predstavljaju sve aktivnosti ureda za zapošljavanje i druge javno financirane usluge za tražitelje posla, što uključuje savjetovanje nezaposlenih, posredovanje između radnika i poslodavaca, informiranje, praćenje nezaposlenih i sankcioniranje u slučaju netraženja posla, a smatra se troškovno najučinkovitijom intervencijom tržišta rada. Iako je proteklih desetljeća glavni fokus politike tržišta rada bio na mjerama aktivne politike (poput usavršavanja ili subvencioniranog zapošljavanja), posljednjih godina, aktualiziranjem koncepta aktivacije, u prvi plan dolaze usluge tržišta rada. Ovaj rad prikazuje glavna obilježja, razvoj, prednosti i mane ove intervencije u Republici Hrvatskoj te mišljenje glavnih provoditelja ove intervencije, savjetnika za zapošljavanje Hrvatskoga zavoda za zapošljavanje.The paper analyzes labour market services, as one of the labor market interventions. Labour market services represent all activities of the public employment service and other publicly funded services for jobseekers, which include counseling the unemployed, mediation between workers and employers, informing, monitoring the unemployed and sanctioning in the case of non-compliance, and are considered to be the most cost-effective labour market intervention. Although in recent decades the main focus of labour market policy has been on measures of active labour market policy (such as training or employment incentives), in recent years, with the actualization of the activation concept, labour market services have taken their turn. This paper presents the main features, development, advantages and disadvantages of this intervention in the Republic of Croatia and the opinion of the main actors of this intervention, the Employment Advisors of the Croatian Employment Service
