ZAGREB, Nov 30 (Hina) - The problem of unemployment cannot be solved unless efforts aimed at additional education and training are made on the individual level, Croatian Labour and Social Welfare Minister Davorko Vidovic said opening
an international conference on the professional education of unemployed youth in Zagreb Friday. Vidovic emphasised that the problem of unemployment went beyond regional frames, and was particularly noticeable in war-affected countries. "From 1.8 million employed persons in 1990 we have come down to 1.4 million, which means that 400,000 jobs have been lost as a direct consequence of the war and transition," Vidovic said. During the three-day conference, experts from Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania will present the results of national projects on the professional education of young people for skills in demand.
