Completion of education and transition to the labour market is an important individual and social process that includes the period from completion of education to entry into the world of work. First access to the labour market is linked to a certain amount of uncertainty and insecurities, and we can accompany it as a process in which the knowledge previously acquired through education is now starting to apply in practice. It is young people who are the most vulnerable group when speaking of transition and labour market integration in Croatia and other countries across the region. Since we are accompanied by a negative trend in youth unemployment growth, it is important to take measures that will stimulate positive changes and „save“ Croatia and other countries facing this problem from the economic, political and social consequences that will affect not only the individual but society as a whole. An overview of the current situation in Germany, Norway and England (which show positive results in the transition and employment of young people) provides examples of good practices and policies that help tackle the problem of unemployment and young people's involvement in the labour market in modern society. It is important to approach the problem seriously and as soon as possible in order to prevent possible consequences, because young people are still those who represent the pillar and future of society.
