Abstract: The basic objective of this study is to examine the state of employment and employment trends in the maritime transport system of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia. The purpose of this article is to estimate the number of employed in the maritime transport system of the Republic of Croatia by 2025. It will look into interdependence of the number of employees in the national maritime transport system and the number of passenger and cargo ships, static and dynamic indicators of labour and the movement of GDP. The method of descriptive statistics and statistical methods of correlation and regression analysis were used to examine norms and regularities in relations between the mentioned stochastic phenomena. The obtained findings contribute to a scientifically based perspective regarding direct contribution of maritime transport to total employment within the transport sector and the national economy, as well as the factors determining the number of employed persons in maritime transport. The main finding of this paper points to the fact that the number of employees in the national maritime transport system is positively and statistically significantly correlated with labor market indicators in freight transport.
