Summary/Abstract: Currently, there are large differences in unemployment among EU countries; Czech Republic (3.5%) and Germany (3.6%) have dealt with the problem very well in recent years, which is confirmed by the fact that their unemployment rates are the lowest across the EU. Countries like Finland (8.7%) and France (9.5%) are with their unemployment rate in the middle of the unemployment rate ranking, and Greece (21.0%) is among the countries with the worst unemployment rate (Eurostat, 2017). When working with unemployed people, it is very important to coordinate different approaches, as it is a problem of economics, but also psycho-sociology (Jurečka et al., 2013). In this study, we focus on work rehabilitation, which is one of the components of coordinated rehabilitation and in which we mainly use counselling, job mediation, and preparation for future occupations. The aim of this overview study is to define the work rehabilitation of unemployed people both in the Czech Republic and in selected EU countries. The comparison of different methods of work rehabilitation may be useful to improve the situation of the unemployed and to increase the employment rates in many countries. This study is based on sources from professional literature, websites and professional articles from databases SCOPUS, Ebsco and Google ScholarPro. The research method is textual analysis of documents.
