INSTRUMENTS PROVIDING FOR BETTER ACCESS TO THE LABOUR MARKET WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION

The European Union within the framework of its policies considers the increasing of employment of young people and inclusion of women into the workforce as priority. To this end it uses various tools such as mutual recognition of diplomas, financial support within the Erasmus+ Programme, adopting the legal regulations aiming at the strengthening the status of women in the labour market. In this paper we point out the concrete measures being introduced in Slovakia, which facilitate the access to the labour market to the Slovak citizens. We have focused our research on the analysis of realised study stays in the foreign universities.
