Abstract
The right to work is limited by the possibility of the realisation of that right in the conditions of high unemployment. This paper presents annual changes in employment, unemployment and labour force from 1963 up to 2003, which record a drastic drop in unemployment since 1990. Employment and unemployment rates vary depending on the source used, the administrative or the one based on labour force survey. There are, however, some indications that the data from this two sources converge parallelly to the drop of registered unemployment that has been noticeable since March 2002. The paper presents a survey of basic rights in the unemployment insurance system and the structure of the unemployment benefit users. In the end it is included that the coverage of the unemployed who receive unemployment benefit is very limited, and that the amount of the benefit is insufficient to cover the individual’s basic needs.
