Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the main features and causes of the present labour shortages in Czechoslovakia as well as to explain the governmental responses to this challenge. In an investigation undertaken in the first half of the 1970s it was discovered that in Czechoslovak industry at that time approximately 300 000 machine operator positions were not filled.1 This number has increased substantially in recent years according to a report given by the Chairman of the Federal Assembly of the CSSR, A. Indra.2 He stated that the number of vacant posts in the machine building industries alone is now 600 000. For the whole economy job vacancies are expected to reach 800 000 in 1980.3
