Unemployment is a serious issue for both society and the individual. According to data supplied by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, the current number of unemployed in Croatia is 126,277, which is a concerning figure. Croatia has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the EU. In the European Union, 17.1% of youth are unemployed, while in Croatia unemployment rate stands at 23,6%. Therefore, almost every fourth young Croat can not find a job. Croatia and its population have gone through social, political and economic crises in the previous century. The global crisis has had a strong impact on the labour market, and the end of the recession is still not in sight but is deteriorating due to insufficient economic policy measures and active and passive labour market measures. Tackling the unemployment problem provides the most effective solutions. Reducing the unemployment rate leads to the fastest and most effective solutions, because increasing the employment of the population solves economic, social and political problems. As a monetary policy holder, the Croatian National Bank is obliged to support Croatia's overall economic policy. One of the main objectives of the Croatian National Bank is price stability, reducing unemployment, stimulating GDP growth, securing enough foreign currency reserves to ensure the smooth performance of foreign payment operations. Fiscal policy, in addition to monetary policy, is a very important macroeconomic policy that achieves the management of public revenues and expenditures. Fiscal policy pursues the objectives of stimulating economic growth, inflation control and achieving full employment.
