Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the state of employment and employment trends in the water transport system of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia. The purpose of this paper is to find answers to the question of how to turn negative employment trends in the Croatian water transport system into positive ones. To answer this question, several scientific methods were applied, in particular descriptive statistics and correlation and regression analysis. The increase in goods transport and the growth of the gross domestic product have been recognized as major factors in increasing employment in the water transport system. The main findings of this paper can be helpful to transport managers at all levels for human resource planning in the water transport system.
