"This paper provides an overview of theoretical approaches to the role of labor market policies and new empirical findings as well. Labor market polices are an important area of economic policy. The aim of labor market policies is to help increase employment, respectively decrease unemployment, or to finance social protection for those, who lost their jobs. Labor market policies are often divided into active and passive measures. Main emphasis was placed on active ones. Eurostat data were used in the paper. Data analysis shows that there are diametrically different approaches to the concept of employment policy. These differences lie in the total amount that goes to labor market policies, in the distribution of funds between the categories or, finally, types of beneficiaries of these funds. Moreover, active labor market policies seem to be appropriate measures to reduce the unemployment rate in the context of the economic crisis. EuroJournals, Inc. 2012." . .
