Summary/Abstract: One part of the strategical goal set on the Lisbon summit is also the increase of employment, namely by the way of creation of new jobs. It is possible to reach this goal first of all by supporting entrepreneurship, by the support of technologies and innovations and by improving the quality of human capital. In the global econo-my the problem of employment has gained new dimensions that are expressed first of all in the operations of transnational corporations in the area of labour market and in their efforts to reduce the labour costs. The next result of this trend is the decrease of working time and the increase of part time jobs. These trends of globalization reflect themselves also in the area of employment in the Slovak Republic. The priority of the employment policy is becoming also the crea-tion of new jobs, education and preparing of labour force for the labour market.
