No. 28 | (Winter 1995)
The world of labour has many complex questions for social researchers. How persistent is the mass unemployment developed during the "economic transition"? Whether trade unions can play a role in forming the economic policy? What is the role of women labour in catching-up? Whether physical work will lose its relevance and so the traditional contradiction between capital and labour? Questions of popular interest but not properly answered from a scientific point of view can be listed for long. The current issue of Eszmélet cannot promise that its articles will answer the above questions thoroughly but at least will show reference points and the main lines of research that can lead to possible answers.
