The paper deals with the supply side of the Slovak labour market. The main goal of the present study was to examine what variables contribute to the explanation of working over-time (e.g. devoting more than 40 hours per week to paid work) separately for women and men. A binomial logistic regression was used and factors were identified separately for men and women. The data were drawn from the results of primary research conducted in the year 2018. Results suggest that the probability of working overtime is higher for both men and women with higher income. It seems that the substitution effect of an increase in income dominates the income effect. Household circumstances influence the probability of one's working overtime. In those multi-member households where the husband has higher level of education than the wife, the husband will more likely work overtime and women will be less likely to work overtime. The presence of very young children in households has a significant impact on the reporting of women working overtime. Women with preschool children were less likely to work overtime than women in households in which there were older children or households without children.

For 37 regions of four Visegrád Group (V4) countries that used to be part of the Socialist Bloc, the paper studies the interaction between self-employment (as a proxy of entrepreneurial capital) and per-capita real gross domestic product (as a measure of economic performance or prosperity). A system of two simultaneous spatial panel data equations is applied to aggregate regional data for a period of 20 years from 2001 to 2020 in order to explore the links between entrepreneurial activity and performance and to identify determinants of this relationship. Mutual positive correlation is found between self-employment and regional economic performance, and a number of regional labour-market, demographic or socio-economic characteristics are identified to be factors of the entrepreneurship-development nexus. Only Hungarian regions deviate from this generally established pattern. The present study complements the research agenda that has been so far pursued exclusively for Western and developing countries.
