In the Hoover-Dempsey at al. model (2005), parental role construction for involvement in children’s education is defined as socially constructed beliefs and expectations about what parents should do in relation to their children’s education. The qualitative exploration of parental role constructions and factors that might shape parents’ understanding of their role was conducted in five elementary schools in Zagreb, Croatia. Data was collected via 59 semi-structured interviews with parents of children attending primary and lower secondary education. Reflexive thematic analysis was applied for interview data coding and analysis. Most parents exhibited an active role construction and experienced a strong sense of personal responsibility for their children’s educational outcomes and development. Parents’ beliefs about necessary and appropriate involvement activities, rights and responsibilities were shaped by immediate and wider social contexts including school, as well as by perception of the child’s developmental needs. Parents constructed their role through processes of social comparison with other families in their social networks, and by reflecting on their childhood memories and their own current experiences with others related to schooling. Three modalities of role construction were identified that shape parental decisions regarding the form and intensity of their involvement with their child: proactive support and assistance, on-demand activation and active control

The paper contributes to the understanding of inequality in adult education in Croatia through the chain of response conceptual framework. Using data from the 2016 European Adult Education Survey, the paper investigates inequality in all stages of the process (disposition, search and access to information, perceived obstacles and experience) with regard to the socio-demographic factors established as related to the differences in access (age, gender, parental status, residence, education, income and employment status). Socio-demographic determinants turned out to be associated with inequalities in access to life-long learning across all links of the chain of response. Nevertheless, the strength and patterns of these associations differ. Inequalities in obtaining and actively seeking information about training are significantly greater than inequality in the declared need for training, especially with regards to the level of education and employment status. Notably, inequalities in receiving information cannot be understood fully through inequalities in the seeking behaviour. Inequalities are contributed to by the patterns of reach of information provided by employers and educational institutions, and by the limited counteraction of information from the Croatian Employment Service. Analysis of individual barriers gives expected results: costs are the most prominent challenge for those with lower income and the elderly, distance for the people from sparsely populated areas, family obligations for women, especially those with children, and health and age for the elderly. Overlap with work schedules is more likely to hinder the employed and those who have already attended education. A lower level of education is associated with dispositional barriers and inability to attend due to family obligations. Attended training courses are generally perceived as useful, without obvious segmentation in the quality of experiences and slightly more favourable outcomes for participants in the middle of the educational scale. The findings should be viewed in the context of the structure of opportunities in the Croatian adult education regime, which bound the actions of individuals. The results indicate desirable directions for improvement, such as intensification of targeted information outreach about existing opportunities, but also point to the importance of investment in more concrete educational opportunities and overcoming barriers.

The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the fragility of organisations and institutions providing assistance to young people. While young people are facing uncertainties in their transitions, traditional safety nets have undergone a series of ruptures, and youth work providers are stretched between the needs and aspirations of young people and the scarce resources they have at disposal. Non-governmental associations in the field of youth provide a form of “out-of-school education managed by professional or voluntary youth workers that contributes to the development of young people” (European Commission, 2009, p. 11), often without a strong and structured support in tackling their professional challenges. This is especially pronounced in the cluster of 13 EU Member States, like Croatia, which, on average, have lower success rates in many fields (e.g. median income 1 ). The public institutions of those countries demonstrate inadequate policy responses to youth vulnerabilities and requirements of the youth non-governmental sector. This paper focuses on the relations between experiences of youth workers within the organisational environment of youth organisations, with a focus on support received during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the analysis of respective national public policies. The semi-structured interviews conducted with eight youth experts and youth workers in 2021 focused on the institutional and policy framework and support structures for youth work during the pandemic. The analysis employed the Attride-Stirling (2001) model of thematic network. Five themes crucial for contemporary youth work in Croatia were identified: 1) prioritising youth; 2) cross-sectoral cooperation; 3) administrative and financial aspects 4) recognition of youth work, and 5) digitalisation and reinvention of youth work.

The paper deals with the precariousness of the Croatian academic system by investigating the success of the professional socialization of women into the research profession. It is a broader conceptualization of occupational precariousness that takes into account the general well-being of female researchers, especially the impact on their future professional outcomes. In the Croatian scientific system, the research on socialization processes points to difficulties associated with professional socialization into the academic system, especially for women who lack support at both the project/mentoring and institutional levels. Through a specific narrative methodological approach, this paper investigates the differences in the professional socialization of more productive and less productive Croatian female researchers from different disciplines. It brings insights into the factors that influence the success of the socialization process as experienced by female researchers and thus the absence of this type of precariousness, with an emphasis on creating an environment for the adoption of values, attitudes and strategies related to professional satisfaction and even success.
