The high unemployment rate is one of the biggest problems that Croatia is facing. Unemployment is not only an individual's problem that cannot successfully find their place in the labor market, but unemployment is the problem of the whole system, which does not have an adequate solution to this increasingly prominent problem of youth unemployment. Not understanding the needs of the unemployed and the individuals who want to become entrepreneurs and as well as the slow development of the entire support infrastructure in the (self)employment and unemployment segment lead to the need for new, more innovative solutions to encourage young people in their younger life to be more creative and self-confident for later in order to become more competitive on the labor market. With this master thesis all primary and secondary data on topics of unemployment and corporate social responsibility were collected, analysed and processed. The primary part of the survey refers to an empirical online questionnaire with the aim of analysing the attitudes and opinions of young people about unemployment, entrepreneurship and socially responsible business in Croatia. While secondary data refer to published research and studies by other authors and institutions involved in entrepreneurship and socially responsible business. The biggest culprits for a high unemployment rate are the state and educational system. The paper has shown that Croatia has not made significant progress in implementing reforms and measures in the segments of unemployment reduction and promotion of responsible business. Further research on these topics is recommended in order to create a more concrete and better measures and programs striving to improve entrepreneurial activity among young people through projects of social responsibility and finding ways to make young people more enterprising and competitive.
