At the beginning of the 21st century, reflection on the future of the labor market was linked to and is expected of European integration. Long-awaited membership in the European Community has introduced our country into a new European - global dimension. The presented analyzes of threats and challenges of the contemporary labor market make it possible to identify those issues and problems that should be addressed in the next few years and the pedagogy of work. Hence, the need for research on these issues, which translated into the language of education and training programs, should be useful for practitioners who acquire new skills and change the working environment. Pedagogy of work as a discipline integrated into the education system should constantly prepare the unit to function in a market economy. In order to meet today's needs, the professionalization process and the different social and professional roles that are increasingly evolving must continually adapt and improve the content, tasks, objectives and organization of education in the direction of the educational society in which education, work, social work, politics and economics are intertwined. An important role in the process of adaptation to the labor market should be played by the social debate and the institutions and non-governmental organizations. As European countries, they should become an important partner in the implementation of programs to prevent pathological phenomena in professional work.
