Abstract

The article analyses the position of the unemployed
in the labour market, primarily relationship between
self-concept and self-esteem of workers and their
motivation to seek work. The current crisis dramatically
worsened labour market situation, making employment
almost impossible for many, primarily the
vulnerable groups (older, women). Survey data used
in cluster analysis reveal that the unemployment is related
to self-concept, but besides unemployment also
other factors, primarily age, and sex matter. Also, the
reactions of people to unemployment conditional on
their self-concept differ.

Keywords
