LABOUR MARKET DEVELOPMENTS IN VISEGRAD COUNTRIES
ROMAN KLIMKO
Abstract:
On 1 May 2004, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia and another six states joined the European Union. From the early beginning it was an obvious fact that growth potential of all Visegrad countries is undeniable. However, the global economic crisis hit the labour markets of V4 countries significantly, but differently. The goal of the paper is to identify V4 labour market developments and to examine the impact of the economic development on them. The emphasis is being placed on the development of the selected specific unemployment issues – youth and long-term unemployment. The last section identifies great potential of green jobs and it concludes that training courses focused on green jobs coordinated with Public Employment Services may have strong positive effects on V4 labour markets.
