Teoretický koncept aktívnej politiky trhu práce z pohľadu ekonomickej sociológie
Theoretical Concept of Active Labour Market Policy from the Perspective of Economic Sociology

Summary/Abstract: One prerequisite for the effective functioning of the active labor market policy is a systematic evaluation (monitoring and audit is not enough), which is, in Slovakia, implemented in a very limited way. The problem is not only a lack of knowledge of theoretical approaches (evaluation strategies), but especially the lack of methodological approaches that could be applied to the evaluation of active labor market policy in Slovak conditions. The intention of this paper is the definition of active labor market policy in the context of labor market policy and of its institutional framework. It will be defined with respect to particular theories of the labor market (orthodox, dual and segmentation). The gradual development involving a change in the nature of unemployment has also changed strategies that have been under active labor market policies implemented for the unemployed to enter the labor market. Our intention was to create a theoretical basis for the processing of labor market analysis from the viewpoint of economic sociology. We will then deal with the ALMP’s instrumental framework and examine particular tools’ effectiveness in reducing long-term unemployment.
