- Abstract
This study consists of three main themes: (1) An overview is given about the main findings of the economic theories associated with employment and labour / paid work; reinterpretation of the concept of labour is also provided, divided into pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial periods, which the author aligns with the periods of the economic thought. The author interprets globalization as a factor influencing the transition between industrial and post-industrial periods; and she elaborately introduces its economicsocial and labour market impacts. Among the potential alternatives of employment of the future, this thesis investigates the atypical forms of employment, public employment and social (solidarity) economy. (2) Central-Eastern European countries and regions are analyzed, as the territorial unit of the research, from labour market and employment aspects. Afterwards, the author evaluates the employment situation of her closer environment, Northern Hungary. (3) Afterwards, she contributes suggestions to the criteria of creating a more efficient regional employment policy. The aim of this research was analysed the regional labour market situation by the Central-Eastern European countries and regions, in particular by the North Hungarian region and was gave some proposals for a possible, efficient regional employment policy. Therefore through the multiple transformation of work concept, the demand for alternative employment forms has increased along with the significant change of the content. The author believes that these alternative fields and the regional employment policy can provide the answer for global labour market problems in the future. At the beginning of her research, she hypothesised that the position of the North Hungarian region is significantly determined by its special economic and social context which can be derived from the end of communism. The author used Hoover-index, tested the Okun's law in Central-Eastern European countries and regions, calculated the Markov-chain model and used factor analysis methods.
