Summary/Abstract: Blue-collar workers are missing everywhere in developed economies. Unlike other countries, in Hungary ‘shortage-job’ became a technical term used by laws in the past few years. Decisions relating to 10 ‘shortage jobs’ in each of the 7 regions are taken every year by regional development and training committees. The policy objective is that more students are trained for shortage-jobs by guaranteed apprentices in shortage-jobs, where there is a higher salary. The main questions the study explores are as follows: Is there really a shortage with shortage jobs? What are these like - and what are students being trained for shortage-jobs like? What might be reasons for a labour market shortage? What consequences might there be as regards regulations dealing with shortages in the labour market both in the short run and in the long run?
