CroatiaCroatia has opened the labor market to retirees due to a shortage of workers, offering them options to work part-time while receiving their full pension or full-time while receiving half their pension. Over 40,000 retirees are working part-time, but fewer than 3,000 are working full-time. The government had expected more than 8,800 retirees to choose the full-time option, but only a third of that number have done so. Most retirees working full-time are employed by the state in sectors like healthcare, public administration, and education. Retirees often take these jobs out of necessity rather than choice, especially in industries where full-time work after age 65 is challenging.
