Abstract: | The implications for labour markets are central to any political and economic evaluation of EU Eastern enlargement. The resulting
new levels of unemployment and of wages will have direct effects on social welfare in the acceding countries as well as in
the present member states of the EU. Furthermore, employment and wages are substantial factors of political stability in the
central and eastern European countries (CEECs). The following paper analyses the present situation on the labour markets in
the CEECs and discusses the effects of their reintegration into the Western European system and the resulting implications
for labour market and wage policy institutions.
