This paper deals with the research of sources of financing of unemployed persons and job search strategies during unemployment in the Republic of Croatia. The purpose of the work and the incentive of the research was to contribute to exhaustive research of the same and / or similar subjects of measurement and to open many other research questions with the results. As a method, we chose the analysis of secondary data, the sources of which we took over with Eurostat. One source comes from the Labor Force Survey, while the other is a survey of income, social inclusion, and living conditions. In the research, we put the gender and level of completed education in relation to funding sources and job search strategies. In addition, we also wanted to determine whether there is a difference in the job search strategy used in 2013 and 2020. The results of the research showed that women and men are financed in different ways, that is, they use different means to finance their livelihoods. On the other hand, when it comes to the level of completed education, according to the obtained indicators, there is no difference. Furthermore, an important research question that arose from this research is why men and women use different strategies when looking for a job since they show us statistically that there is a certain difference in use in all strategies. Finally, strategies have changed in their share of utilization in 2013 and 2020.
