Summary
Challenges arising from the unification of the world have made the necessity for regional and local answers stronger. The transformation of the labour market calls for the revaluation of the notion of labour; it puts the issue of employment in another perspective. The solution for globally existing lack of employment is more and more frequently sought focusing on sustainability and social inclusion at regional and local levels. The following questions arise: 1) What are those global impacts that underpin the transformation of labour markets?. This research focuses on the temporal and spatial regularities of the level and structure of employment, its interactions with the processes of globalization and the employment strategies seeking solution to the problems in the regions of Central-Eastern Europe and Hungary.
