Unemployment in the transition countries - causes and proposals

The main purposes of this paper are to analyse: - the causes and characteristics of unemployment in the transition economies ; - economic performance during transition that succeeded or failed in stimulating labour demand and supply ; - the differences and similarities in policy responses to unemployment problem ; - to recommend some proposals for unemployment reduction. Unemployment is the result of a total economic performance in each country. Successful economic development during transition encourages labour demand and supply. It is supported by adequate employment policies. Transition crises was very deep in Croatia and it results in extremely high unemployment rates. Most countries are confronted with enterprise restructuring, as a result unemployment rates rise. Special attention should be paid to creating and implementing employment policies co-ordinated with other employment policies.
