Demand for high-skilled labour: lessons from the Online vacancy index

Interest in smart skills essentially reflects recent changes in the structure of employment and creation of entirely new occupations, brought on by technological change, globalisation, and higher mobility of labour. The researchers at the Institute of Economics, Zagreb developed a “smart” index that ensures “smart” labour market diagnostics on the needs for “smart” skills. After 2012, demand for high-skilled labour in Croatia started to increase considerably, as did the demand for unskilled and skilled work, indicating significant and rising polarisation. Economic recovery did bring increasing demand for labour but it changed the structure of offered contracts from full time contracts to temporary and training without commencing employment. More than 10 percent of total demand reflects the demand for information technologies experts, especially programmers for which there is a steady increase in the number of jobs offered as of late 2014.
