U radu se analiziraju mogućnost i razina primjene koncepta fleksigurnosti u Republici Hrvatskoj. Fleksigurnost je model koordiniranih politika tržišta rada i socijalnih politika koji zagovara mogućnost lakog zapošljavanja i otpuštanja. Ovaj način modernizacije europskog socijalnog okvira u prošlom je desetljeću predstavljao glavni model reforme ekonomske i socijalne politike u Europskoj uniji, a njegova se načela i danas primjenjuju. Rad prikazuje glavna obilježja fleksigurnosti i fleksibilnosti te komponenti fleksigurnosti, logiku njihova djelovanja, principe implementacije, kao i mogućnosti procjene utvrđivanjem najrelevantnijih pokazatelja. U radu se analizira i kretanje dosadašnjih politika i nastojanja Republike Hrvatske po pojedinim komponentama fleksigurnosti te ih se uspoređuje s drugim zemljama, odabranim na temelju različitih stupnjeva i smjerova razvoja tržišta rada. ; The paper analyzes the possibilities of applying the concept of flexicurity in the Republic of Croatia. Flexicurity is a model of coordinated labor and social policies that advocate easier employment and dismissal. This way of modernizing the European social model has been the flagship initiative of economic and social policy reforms in the European Union during the past decade and these principles still apply. The paper presents the main features of flexibility and flexicurity, the components of flexicurity, intervention logic, implementation principles and impact assessment options by identifying the most relevant indicators. Additionally, it analyzes the progress of the current policies and efforts in the Republic of Croatia with regard to the individual components of flexicurity in comparison to other countries that are in different stages and have different objectives of labor market development.

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. Key words: labour market services, counseling the unemployed, labour market, Croatia.
