Reflections on a Quarter of a Century of Labor Market research within the INCSMPS

Summary/Abstract: The National Scientific Research Institute for Labor and Social Protection – INCSMPS – in short the Institute, celebrated in 2015 the age of 25 years, years of continuous activity in the field of social and humanist sciences. Axiomatically, the problems of transition economy and transition to a new growth model by Krelle (2000) targets “structural change, allocation and the distribution, the output of economy and the quality of life of its citizens”. On these economic system changing background, coupled recently with transition towards knowledge economy in a globalized world, the role and mission of the Institute in regard to labour market is strongly linked with the transition management problems towards a sustainable model of economic growth, similar with the values of developed countries. This role and mission of the Institute is sustained both by its regulatory trajectory and by its multidimensional scale of research domains, exceedingly dynamic but simultaneously highly specialized. The INCSMPS’s profile is shaped on the main regulation documents defining its organization and functioning during, 1990-2016 period. Our reflections are limited only to the Labour market department research activity, department that catches the process of economic transition/s from Romania in a multidimensional scale perspective. Issues related to problems that measure the importance of the field were addressed: Core dimensions of the labour market (theory, policies, strategies, regulations); Individual and holistic analysis of the growth economic factors (Demographic, Labor, Productivity, Knowledge TFP, Land, Capital, Information, etc.); Mechanisms of implementation (Functioning, Sustainability, Economic, Social and Environments objective implementing, Efficiency, Competitivity, Technological progress, The production of the New, Management micro, Processes si evolutions, etc) and Instruments of measurement, monitoring, evaluation (Statistique, Sociology, Econometry, Algorithms. The authors concludes that the Institute is the guardian of the sustainable growth, signaling by specific means, the challenges that arise in redefining some dimensions of the labor market.
