The Labor Market – National and Regional Problems
The Labor Market – National and Regional Problems

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the trends in the main labour market indicators before and after the economic crisis in 2009 at national and regional level. It outlines the most specific features in the relation between economic and employment growth. At a regional level the article studies the deviations from the average values of economic activity, employment rate and unemployment rate on the regional and intra-regional level, pointing out the increasing deviations at intra-regional level as one of the main feature of labour market misbalances. It also defines some of the factors, causing these misbalances. Particular attention is paid on the role of regional employment programs and measures as an instrument to encourage labor integration through training and qualification; policies that have no alternative and aim at decreasing the social disparities and at the inclusion of risk groups in labor activity and at sustainable employment as a way to improve the standard of living.
