Abstract
The article deals with an evaluation of public employment services reform in the Czech Republic in 2011 from several perspectives. First, the institutional changes are evaluated from the point of view of their preparation and enactment.
Second, aims of organisational changes and their fulfilment are also evaluated. Third, impacts of the new institutional structure on functioning of the public employment services are evaluated.
On the basis of existing expert analysis of the Czech employment services and interviews with experts on labour market policy we consider the institutional reform very ambiguously. The implemented institutional reform brought about that the Czech employment services are very much behind with modern development in the world.
The organizational changes reform did not help solving the present situation where employment offices became a place for social benefits payments.
