Summary/Abstract: Survey data referring to characteristics of work that is going through flexibilisation process are analyzed in the paper. These are part-time jobs, temporary and occasional jobs. Polarization of labor force as a consequence of education (“self-programming” and “generic” labor force), negotiation power of labor unions, and capacities of labor force in an informatic society are also researched. All these characteristics are not present in Croatian society at the same level, they do not equally affect employed and unemployed population (taking in consideration that borders between employed and unemployed are not clear), and are not present by the same degree in different types of settlements (there is a difference between cities and villages, and also between Zagreb and all other settlements). Negotiation power of labor unions is very much brought into question.
