Many young Croatians are leaving their country for Western Europe. Some 27% of graduates are unemployed, and more and more of them are looking for work outside Croatia's borders. Despite government efforts, the youth exodus shows no sign of slowing down. Our colleagues from France 2 report, with FRANCE 24's James Vasina.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Rebecca Martin.

Despite government efforts? More like: because of government efforts, the youth exodus is not slowing down!
Such a beautiful country, but so few jobs.
Rex Croatorum I should have said well-paying jobs. I have many Croatian friends who wouldn't leave Croatia for love or money, but some of their children may once they leave university.
@Rex Croatorum ''For love or money" is just an expression, not to be taken literally. :-)
@Rex Croatorum @ I don't know who pays you for this manipulatory comments, no one leaves Croatia for not wanting to work for 1000-1500 euros, for that amount of money no one would leave, most people work for 400-500 euros in average. Besides, these (educated) people leave cause they can't find a job unless you have attachments to main political parties or are simply members of one, those people stay. Unless you're old and weak and have no other choice but to stay.
@Logos 1000-1500 euros are you mad or something?Only engeeners ,directors and managers have that much the rest of the population works for 300-800 euros and your asking why they escape.
@@aleksamomcilovic220
300 maybe in Serbia,
800 Croatia yes.
But normal they escape.
It's not normal when for the Food someone must paying German Prices, but becoming Cash in Balkan Style.
But when they tooked the Pension and coming back to the Homeland, they living like Kings.
Sad but true. I wish our people would have better economy in croatia . we moved to amsterdam when i was young. We love to work we are not lazy people but we are moving back to croatia to invest back in our country ❤️ thank you france england germany and swiss
Croatian's talent is leaving Croatia and to countries that benefit from this. It's sad seeing my people have to be slaves elsewhere when they should be able to live a good life in Croatia. Such a shame.
Yes, we of Croatian background can’t figure out why there isn’t more investment after twenty five years!
I don't feel like slave. But I was feeling like the idiot, supporting rotten and corrupted political system with my taxes. They are only trying to blind up own population with pathetic patriotism known from US. Patriotism, especially the dumb one, doesn't feed you and your family. 2-3 weeks holiday per year in Croatia is enough for saturation.
I wish people in the Balkans would be just a little bit braver and be more involved in political life like people in the west. Its not magic to why even 30 years after communism we act like we are still in communism by allowing others to think for us instead of the people running the country.
i just moved to germany a week ago...my first impression - WTF was i doing in croatia for the past 30 years?!
i am normal and i feel safe,racists and idiots won't feel safe anywhere
@Logos Pravo govoris !!!
@Kay Flip trash trash everywhere
@@vlajster ajde molim te pa njemacka propada od ovih migranata
Sram me čitat ovakve komentare
I wouldn't take archeology if I live in eastern Europe
Your mum is eastern Europe
Why?
@Jon Hipolita
Croatia is not in east Europe. 🤦♂️
@MARKO Southeastern Europe
The majority of Croats that is now in Germany, Sweden or France actually moved there during the 90-ties war. Also, most of them are actually not from Croatia, but from Bosnia. The politics and climate in Bosnia make it impossible for them to return. There are cases when returners have been shot or beaten up. You come to Bosnia to build up your house during your vacation - you leave for work again - you come Back to Bosnia for your next vacation, the windows are smashed, the material stolen.
pička -- "that ARE now in Germany..."
That's not quite true. The vast majority of Croats that migrated to Germany (pre EU), did so in the 60s and 70s as "Gastarbeiter". Today about half of Croats in Germany migrated there after Croatia joined the EU. In 2011 there were about 220,000 Croats living in Germany and in 2020 there were 426,000 Croats living in Germany.
Bit će bolje... kad budemo 2 m pod zemljom svi... bez brige i pameti
Same thing with us, Slovenes. Mass brain drain going on in the 20 - 40 age rank. 😑
I moved from Slovenia because you can't work and live independently alone ...
@@denis3208 I'm too old to move. 😕😞
Not really... I mean the population hasn't decreased there at all, and the standard of living and average wages are way way better. Though some are still moving out, so with the case of such a small country, even a small amount of people leaving would cause problems maybe?
And they are so so much welcome!!
viele danke croatia, tchuss aus bremen, meine neu home.
graduated archeologist :) :) :)
The EU is a very dangerous experiment! If the break up of EU takes place, at some point in time it will have to, then it maybe worse than the former Yugoslavia’s break up...So many people move to the EU from outside Europe,too.
People aged 50+ also migrate. There is no point in being in Croatia.
Why not? Croatia 🇭🇷 is in the 🇪🇺 and NATO…it must be heaven on earth!
@@lukamilas8648 "heaven"
@@Ivan.214 yea heaven. It’s a democracy. It’s heaven. Democracies are heaven. Full of freedom and heaven for all.
Arheolog ima i kod nas kostiju samo se zakopava...
.... Wellcome all Est
We welcome you to ireland
Sad to see such a wonderful country loosing it’s younger generation. Sadly Croatia will be taken over by property developers and become another Costa del Sol packed with drunk tourists and rising crime 🤭
@John Rambo Communism heritage!
@John Rambo Croatia full of millionaires??? Haha Haha Haha yeah and most of those people are definitely not Croatian
@John Rambo yeah and you go take a look at the economy of Croatia and how many millionaires they have. It's a beautiful country very beautiful but its economy is depressed, very weak manufacturing sector, very weak banking sector, and absolutely no high tech.
@John Rambo let's say each family in Croatia has some real estate that will make them rich??? Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Croatia will be the new haven of millionaires in the world Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha
@John Rambo that's what I have been saying freaking idiot. The wealthy people are not from Croatia but this guy is just too stupid and in addition the wealthy people also vacation in many other countries not just Croatia, but again this dumb idiot just doesn't know.
If you are currently living in Croatia i suggest that you move to a better country as soon as possible.
Im planning to move to the US as soon as i get the money.
I know that the US has its problems too but there is opportunity and tolerance there.
The best people in the world live in the US.
You must be 10 years old and without life experience. I'm from Croatia and moved to USA, its not that great. Its hard too.
Think about Canada. Trump and Republicans are destroying US democracy!
🇭🇷 is the only country I hate more than 🇺🇸
Fiscal transfers?
if you study archaeology in the west, its hard to find the job.
Okk
What government are doing kicking Pu..y
I love Croatia.Please give me visa.

Dear Croats...Please don't go all to Germany...there are other countries in Europe you can go to like Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, France
Idk how much is better there . for shure scandinavian has better salary but in germany we feel like at home
Cuk Kuruck - Why do you feel at home in Germany?
Marley Barley Because there is croats on every corner
And other ex jugoslav people
Zagrebcan }{}{ - haha true
And this is news ?
Right, like slavs don't know they are in slave states. Well some of them, inbreeds still believe they live hard because we replaced communism with capitalism...haha
The majority of Croats that is now in Germany, Sweden or France actually moved there during the 90-ties war (and the majority of them is actually from Bosnia, not Croatia). There is migration, but not as much as this report states. But well, they need news.
It is 600 000 in last four years. Even I will go again. Almost all mine friends are out, rest have intention to go. Numbers are big. Even if we are not currently outside country we are in periodical routine of emigration.
Not for jwes
@@uusrano Half the people I know and grew up with, between 25 and 30 years old, are out, they left.
Ma jok nije vam kriv Hdz krivi su orijunaši haha
Come to the USA... You have a degree..
@@tyn7443 student visa.. There's nothing impossible if u have faith..
@@tyn7443 you could make it.. Keep trying.. I keep u in my prayer.. Ok??
Next to Western Europe, America just sounds unattractive with its anti-social society, terrible infrastructure, bad social services, overwork yet only 14 days of vacation.
@@SardiataeSelf-employed are freer to take more vacations.
Lots of people are also moving back to Croatia... Especially rich people
Croatia is a vibrant capitalist democracy! 🤣
Aka
A living nightmare for anybody that actually has to work for a living.
Nije smijesno, puno ljudi u Hrvatskoj nema posao.
Alll the wonders of neoliberal globalism.
At least globalism gave these people a chance to make it somewhere else, instead of rotting away intelectually and being a legal slave for some minor village idiot who became a corrupt tycoon via his political party affiliation.
So to turn this another way around if there is no globalism people could live prosperous life's and flourish in their homelands.
Globalisation is great. More talent competion and innovation
No, no, the trouble is Croatia does not allow the fruit and wealth of globalism to invest there!
You did not have this under Tito. Enjoy the EU
Mhm. At least our basic needs were fulfilled. 😊🙄
Druze sve ti je u ekonomiji. Kad muz i zena rade i imaju lijepu platu idila vlada. Kada krediti stisnu i minus na racunu pocne se traziti krivac. Tako je bilo i sa Jugoslavijim sve do recrsije super, bratstvo i jedinstvo a poslije ko je kriv. Tako ce biti i Evropljanima. Pogledaj istocnu njemacku, i gdje vladaju desnicari, afd i ostali rasisti u slaborazvijenim dijelovima Njemacke
Young people even from rich Euro countries like Sweden Holland and Denmark can´t find jobs but it´s okay for poor Slavic migrants all over Europe to settle in our country. The EU is a terrible idea, we need to bring our borders back. I support our Brexit friends 100%.
Justmyopinionlol -- how do you bring your borders back?
if you cant find a job in sweden, you're a really big idiot... the jobs are flowing. // Lives in swden
Justmyopinionlol Its crazy i live in Frankfurt germany and the city is Full of croatians in every corner you go you here croatian.
