The advantage of this sociological research is an analysis of young people's attitudes about new forms of work. The survey method was used on the sample of 152 young persons between the eighteen and thirty-two years of age. The results show that young people positively value new forms of employment even though they have not had much opportunity to try these jobs yet. Respondents place great importance to work in their profession, outlining their salaries, collegiality and interpersonal relationships as the most important for the job they would accept. As the most desirable form of work, most of the respondents identified self-employment, followed by work on projects, work from home on the basis of information and communications technology and start-up. For half of the respondents, their job requires the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Furthermore, slight more than half of them want more leisure. A significant number of respondents would not want to change jobs in the future. The great importance of job security stems from the unfavorable position of young people in the Croatian labor market
