Use of the Internet in the job search process in European countries: Position of Croatia

The article presents data exploration and regression analysis of the percentage of individuals using the Internet in their job search and six independent variables (averages for the period 2004-2008) for EU-27 countries, Iceland, Turkey and Croatia. Among the four regression models, this paper favours the multiple linear regression model with two regressors (the percentage of households with an Internet access; and GDPpc in PPS, EU-27=100) for 28 countries. Both regressors are statistically significant, explaining the vast majority of the total sum of squares. As far as the studied variables are concerned, Croatia does not differ significantly from other European countries.
