The Croatian construction industry is experiencing exponential growth. The need for skilled labour is greater than ever. Croatian skilled labour has been leaving the country over the past decade in search of higher wages, better working conditions, and a higher standard of living. Due to these reasons, Croatia has faced a serious shortage of labour in the construction sector in recent years, which cannot be met within the domestic labour pool. Therefore, the construction companies are compelled to turn to foreign labour markets. Challenges for foreign workers arise from the differences in culture, language, legal status, work environment and practice of implementing workplace safety measures. The goal of this thesis is to objectively assess all the factors related to the introduction of foreign labour into the Croatian construction industry and draw conclusions about its advantages and disadvantages. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted among foreign workers at the construction site. The survey examined the perception of living and working in Croatia. Ultimately, conclusions were drawn about the current practices of foreign labour employment on Croatian construction sites.
