摘要：ltis very difficult (if possible at all) to assess the present and future technical and technological changes and their impact on (un)employment, throughout the world, and especially here in Croatia. Despite our awareness of constantly failing to keep pace with technological development, technical and technological progress is seldom the focus of more permanent attention, and even less of social action. The speed of today' s technological changes will create a surplus of certain types of knowledge and professions, linked with diminishing needs for them, and at the same time it will result in a lack of workers with specific knowledge necessary for the acceptance and further development of new technologies. Furthermore, it will enhance the appearance of new knowledge, specialization and professions. For the successful acceptance of new technologies, it is important to build an information system which will warn in time against a deficiency in professionalism and knowledge, indicate an increase or decrease in social needs for certain professions, adapt education according to requirements of the economy including the improvement of basic knowledge in order to enhance the process of retraining and additional education of workers. All societies incline towards achieving maximum economic growth in which adequate education and retraining of the active population play an important role in overcoming unprofessionalism, insufficient mobility of both employers and employees. Thus, in the process of adaptation, many unnecessary difficulties would be avoided and opposition to new technologies crucial for achieving greater production and faster economic development would be reduced.
