Abstract: Since 2008, once with the arrival of the global economic crisis, the labour market in the Central and Eastern European countries has necessitated a new reorientation of policies. Market dynamics had known a significantly backward and social protection has been an essential element for all the governments of the CEE countries. Most of the CEE countries have proposed to achieve the targets included in the Europe 2020 Strategy, but there are huge differences between the current employment rate stage and targets. Objectives appear to be feasible for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia, but very little achievable for Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
