STUDY Youth Employment in the Czech Republic And the Standpoint of the Czech-Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions(ČMKOS) PAVEL JANÍČKO November 2012  Employment or, more precisely, youth unemployment, became a visible problem on the labour market in the Czech Republic already at the beginning of the crisis, in other words, 2009.  It is apparent that resolving this problem requires more than a few specific measures aimed at this population group, but concerns the overall state of the labour market, the management of economic policy and the overall conception of social policy.  ČMKOS believes that the approach of the current Czech government in this area is not helping to resolve the issues at hand, but rather is exacerbating them.
