abstract = {We look at the differences in regional unemployment rates in six major transition countries
and their persistence over time. We analyse the role various adjustment mechanisms play.
While movement out of the labour force seems to be one consequence in many regions with
high relative unemployment, there are also signs of emerging wage flexibility. Employment
creation, by contrast, has not picked up in regions of high unemployment. Labour mobility
also remains very limited in size although it appears to respond to basic economic incentives.
Policies addressing housing market imperfections and information asymmetries are
necessary to increase worker mobility and to integrate better national labour markets.},
