In the paper, the results of study on the influence of inadequate information on the estimation of survival curve using the Kaplan-Meier method has been presented. The authoresses carried out an analysis of time of being unemployed for people signed off from the District Labour Office in Szczecin in the 4th quarter of 2006. Survival analysis methods allowing censored data were used. The described study concerns people that had been signed off due for reasons other than finding a job. In their case one can suppose that they had taken a job but did not report it to the office. This information may essentially influence the course of survival curve describing probability of being unemployed (in register) for a specific period of time. For calculations the 'Survival Analysis' module included in the Statistica program was applied.

The key issue of the structural policy are the specifics of the respective regions which comprise the whole economy. This paper focuses on the possible interlinkages of the regional labour markets of the Czech economy. The analysis rests on the key variables of the search model, which are probability of finding a job, separation rate and labour market tightness. The possible interlinkages are detected via multivariate GARCH models between the particular regional labour market and the whole economy. The results show that by no means can it be expected that there are any stable links between the markets. The interlinkages are many times absent at all. Also significant asymmetry with respect to the variable in question arises. The results point to significant structural specificities of the respective regional labour market.

The European Commission reacted on the recent labour market developments in Member Countries with the communication New Skills for New Jobs (NSNJ). One of the main themes of this communication is that the highly qualified labour force is the precondition of development of competitive and sustainable economy. To meet these objectives there is an eminent necessity to invest to the right skills and to effective anticipation of future trends in skill needs. The study Skills Supply and Demand in Europe developed by European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) is one of the important contributions to the future labour market trends anticipation. The authors of this article are describing the modelling approaches and results of this study enriched by the results for the Slovak Republic.

In spite of the growing interest in objectification, very few studies have examined the effects of objectification of others, in reference to both men and women. The present research is focused on the consequences of objectification in the occupational domain. The main goals were: a) investigating the effects of objectification on the perception of men’s and women’s competence and pay; and b) investigating the effects of objectification on the perception of men and women as suitable for high- versus low-status jobs. Results showed that objectification does not affect the perception of competence, but increases the estimated pay. For high-status jobs, the effect of objectification interacts with gender increasing women’s fit for a masculine job and decreasing men’s fit for a feminine occupation. Finally, objectification increases the suitability for low-status jobs, and this is particularly true for women holding service-oriented professions. Implications are discussed.

MEN’S TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

This paper aims to bring a new perspective to and understanding of the way that Czech men aged 40-55 entered into adulthood in the light of the life course perspective and given specific key life events and historical context. We examine entry into adulthood (operationalized as entry into first marriage), depending on the timing and whether men do or do not go through certain life transitions (e.g. transition from education to first job, gaining independence from parents and first child’s conception). The data have been taken from the Male Reproductive Behaviour Study conducted in 2011. Given the specificity of our data (retrospective) and stated goals, we employ discrete-time event history analysis and estimate the effects by use of binary logistic models. Timing of first marriage was related to completing school, labour force participation and leaving the parental home (at least for men who had entered first marriages before 1990). Completing education occupies a special place among these three transitions. It was commonly the first event in a series of partial transitions of entering into adulthood. The effect of completing education on entering into marriage was negative only in the case of premarital conception. Premarital conception also moderated the effects of labour force participation and parental home leaving.
