      abstract = {The common West European problems are the following:  population ageing and proportional (and often also  absolute) decline of the labour force. These deficits are  partially covered by the East-West migration flows for  work, but these labour force movements generate similar  problems on the labour markets in the origin countries. The  external migration flows for jobs from CEE countries to  West European countries are motivated, on one hand, by the  lack of occupational alternatives in the origin countries,  and on the other hand by the significant differences  between the labour remuneration in the origin countries and  the West-European countries, as main destinations of the  circulatory migration flows. The job deficit in the CEE  countries is much stronger in the rural areas, so that the  pressure upon the occupational migration is greater for the  active population in these areas. The rural  entrepreneurship capacity to bring an active contribution  to sustainable economic growth, to provide jobs and to  contribute to the general welfare increase has an  optimizing trend when: the total number of entrepreneurs is  great and increasing; the share of employers in the  employed population is on the rise; the young people are  well represented in the age structure of employers. The  main question that remains is the following: what is the  innovation level and who will be the innovators in the  rural area in the CEE countries as long as the migration  level to the West-European countries remains high? As a  consequence, the following question arises: what is the  real available labour force in the rural area on which the  economy can rely in the CEE countries, both in statistical  and practical terms?As a result of this study, the  approximate determination of the innovation level, of the  real labour force in the rural area and of the  interdependencies between these two indicators is expected,  under the conditions of a strong migration phenomenon.},
