Abstract

This article points out particular economic factors and policies which influence the level of employment/unemployment in selected Western and Eastern European EU member-countries. Their respective growth performance in the last decade is taken into consideration too. It sheds light on some of the myths related to labour-market success and failure by looking at the specific features present in the investigated countries. Through the analysis of indicators related to employment, unemployment and macroeconomy, we identify characteristic conditions which have been crucial for labour-market performance across Europe.
