b. Labour market and employment policy –
Labour market evolution between 1997-2001
There have been structural mutations on the labour
market which led to the increase in the labour force in
construction, trade and services, and at the same time
led to the reduction of the industrial labour force. From
1997 to 2001, the number of employees in agriculture
has slightly increased (from 38.4 to 39.4 %) while in
forestry, forestry exploitation, and game economy, the
labour force constantly decreased (from 1.7 in 1997 to
0.8 in 2001). The number of employees in industry
continuously decreased since 1997, due to massive
lay-offs in the heavy industry and the machine
construction industry.
