It became obvious that the structure of the economy built during the socialist era was not competitive enough to join the world economy. The changes after 1989 were accompanied by business closures, and high and continuous unemployment. As a consequence,

The investigation, based on 300 filled in questionnaires, reveals that the knowledge of adults is satisfactory as regards the labour market and employment policy, but on some questions, their knowledge is incomplete or incorrect.
