Abstract: A sharp rise in unemployment and a sharp rise in mortality have been two recurrent aspects of the process of transition. In response to the unemployment challenge transitional economies have equipped themselves with labour market policies (LMPs) derived from market economies experiences. This has been done in a rather homogenous fashion across the transitional spectrum irrespective of the profound existing differences between Central and Eastern European (CEEs) economies and Commonwealth of Independent States (CISs) labour markets.
