Women in labour market in Croatia: discrimination or equality

Iako su žene izašle na tržište rada sredinom dvadesetog stoljeća, one se i dalje susreću s diskriminacijom na tržištu rada te nisu ravnopravne s muškarcima. U završnom radu se detaljno opisuju diskriminatorne prakse s kojima se žene susreću na hrvatskom tržištu rada te su se predložile mjere za zatomljivanje istih. Diskriminatorne prakse opisane u radu s kojima se žene susreću su nejednakost plaća između muškaraca i žena, rodna segregacija, dvostruka opterećenost žena na tržištu rada i u kućanstvu, stakleni stropovi te diskriminacija žena s obzirom na trudnoću. Unatoč zakonima kojima se nastoje spriječiti neke od navedenih diskriminatornih praksi, takvi zakoni se nerijetko ne provode i ne poštuju od strane poslodavaca u Hrvatskoj. Kako bi se spriječile te diskriminatorne prakse potrebno je uvesti sankcije za nepridržavanje navedenih zakona te putem medija raditi na mijenjanju rodnih stereotipa i predrasuda o ženama na tržištu rada na kojima se zasnivaju diskriminacije na tržištu rada.Although women joined the labour market during the 20th century, they still encounter discrimination in the labour market and are not equal with men. Discriminatory practices in the Croatian labour market have been developed in more detail and measures have been proposed for the suppression of these practices. The discriminatory practices described are wage inequality between men and women, gender segregation, women being double-loaded having a job in the labour market and running their household, glass ceiling and discrimination in regards to women's pregnancy. Although there are laws for prevention of some of these discriminatory practices, these laws are often being broken and employers do not comply with them. In order to prevent these discriminatory practices, penalties should be introduced for those who break these laws and with the help of media work should be done on the suppression of gender stereotypes and prejudices about women in the labour market, which are the basis for the labour market discrimination
