Labour force reserves have been consumed by the extensive economic development preceding the change of regime, which aligned with policy on all forms of employment. Ensuing extensive efforts forshadowed labour force shortage, yet employment policy tried to enhance them with full-time employment as an only alternative. Labour market research already in the 80s (KONCZ K. 1985) made it clear that the outcoming tensions resulted in further tensions on the level of the individual, the smallholder and that of macro-economy. A change in perspective was necessitated by effective employment fitting to prevailing economic needs and by the differentiated needs of employees. Along with the general expansion of full-time employment of women in the majority of the socialist countries, the employment of the retired constituted the security resources of the additional labour force demand: low pensions and the relatively low retirement age indeed fortified this tendency.
