“…Hungary, for example, experienced major public protests in 2007 by restricting eligibility to state pensions. The introduction of a national public works programme in 2011 that targeted job seekers, immigrants and disabled people, but paid them below the minimum wage, was also much criticized (Gyulavári and Kártyás, 2018).

The under-utilization of the labour of disabled and older people is a problem across the European Union (EU) but is most pronounced in Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states, where labour shortages are greatest. This presents a puzzle that is explored with reference to a project with social partners from Estonia, Hungary and Poland, the objective of which was to stimulate debate and actions around the role of industrial relations actors in facilitating work accommodations for disabled and older people. After establishing the extent of the demographic labour crisis in these countries, the policy tools being employed to address it are scrutinized and found wanting. A variety of factors are identified as having contributed to debate in this area: historical legacy, social policy path-dependency, social partner identity and agency, a ‘dead letter’ approach to EU policies, and the limited role of civil society organizations. We examine the potential of the concept of sustainable work, more commonly found in Northern Europe, to influence alternative approaches to the employment of disabled and older people in countries where state, labour and employment relations differ.

“…4 The Labour Code adopted in 2012 further paved the way for the workfare regime and brought in a wide range of deregulations. It increased labour market flexibility while severely curtailing collective labour rights (Kollonay-Lehoczky, 2013) yet destroyed social dialogue on a national level (Gyulavári and Kártyás, 2016).…”

A new vision of "illiberal democracy" was introduced by the Orbán-led Fidesz government in the 2010s, which marked the end of the welfare state, and the central element of the political discourse once again became the creation of a labour-based society. The new workfarist trend in employment indicated a new direction in active labour market policy, favouring public work schemes. However, public work regulations put a disproportionate burden on the Roma unemployed, while disregarding the contributing factors leading to their material deprivation. This paper examines the new direction in employment and unemployment policy measures, a policy terrain where the workfare regime can be best detected. We placed special emphasis on the Roma minority and how their employment situation is effected by the anti-welfare turn.
