TEMELJNE NAZNAKE O MEĐUZAVISNOSTI ZNANSTVENO- TEHNOLOŠKOG RAZVOJA I ZAPOŠLJAVANJA
FUNDAMENTAL SIGNS OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYMENT

Summary/Abstract: 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.
