NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Data source

Data on the number of persons in employment in legal entities with the situation as on 31 March are the result of the Annual Survey on Persons in Employment and Earnings for March 2024. Data are collected through processing of the report (RAD-1G form) submitted by legal entities through records of persons in employment and earnings.

Coverage

The Annual Survey on Persons in Employment and Earnings covers all legal entities of all types of ownership, government bodies and bodies of local and regional self-government units on the territory of the Republic of Croatia.

The survey covers all persons in employment in legal entities irrespective of the type of employment and the number of working hours. Data include the estimated number of persons in employment in legal entities employing less than ten persons that did not submit their reports. This survey does not include the number of persons in employment in crafts and trades and free lances or private farmers. Since 2004, persons in employment in the police and defence have been included in the survey.

The estimate of the number of persons in employment in legal entities employing less than ten persons was not included in the figures on the number of persons in employment in legal entities according to the type of employment, type of working hours, professional attainment level and age for which reports were not submitted, since the processing is done exclusively on the basis of submitted reports. This is the reason why there is the difference between data on the total number of persons in employment in legal entities in the Republic of Croatia and data on the number of persons in employment according to the stated characteristics.

Definitions

Persons in employment are persons who have signed a work contract with the employer for a fixed or unspecified period of time, irrespective of the number of working hours and type of ownership of a legal entity.

Full-time work lasts 40 hours a week, if not proscribed otherwise by law, collective agreement or work contract.

Part-time work is practiced in the case when the quantity of work does not require full working time to be completed.

Short-time work is practiced in the case when the nature of work is such that a person in employment cannot be protected from harmful effects by safety measures at work.

Educational attainment is the highest level of education acquired by a person upon completing an appropriate school or course, sitting for exams or receiving recognition based on proving professional attainment in a business entity. The level acquired can be proved by an appropriate official document (diploma, certificate, degree).

Graduate study and postgraduate study include graduate university study, integrated university undergraduate and graduate study (professional master / master of engineering / doctor), specialist graduate professional study (professional specialist / engineering specialist / graduate student), postgraduate specialist study (university specialist / university engineering specialist / university master), postgraduate professional master study (master), postgraduate university master study (master of science), postgraduate university doctoral study (doctor of science).

Undergraduate professional study takes place at schools of professional higher education, polytechnics or professional study at faculties and normally lasts from 3 to 4 years. Upon the completion of the study, students can earn at least 180 ECTS credits and they are awarded with the academic title of professional bachelor with a reference to a specialisation.

Professional short-term study takes place at schools of professional higher education, polytechnics or professional study at faculties and normally lasts from 2 to 2.5 years. Upon the completion of the study, students can earn less than 180 ECTS credits and they are awarded with the academic title of ‘stručni pristupnik’ with a reference to a specialisation.
