This paper analyses the performance of active labour market policies (ALMP) in Slovakia. We found limited evidence of the economic efficiency of the ALMP in Slovakia. We quantify the relative importance of the ALMP compared to other factors for the employability of job seekers. ALMP performance relates to a host of external factors, such as business cycles, the number of local job vacancies, discrimination towards some ethnic minorities, and levels of regional development. Furthermore, we quantify policy effectiveness of the most important ALMP instruments. The concluding part of the paper points towards the importance of the ongoing demographic transition for revamping the current structure of ALMP.

Postponement of childbearing and age pluralization of reproduction are the main features of the transformational changes in the fertility process in Slovakia in the last three decades. The advanced reproductive age is increasingly used for the realization of reproductive intentions and, therefore, this paper evaluates long-term trends in fertility at age 35 and over and its significance for overall fertility within the context of changes that took place after 1989. The results confirm an increase in the level of and in the contribution of late fertility to the overall reproduction in Slovakia. However, this trend has stagnated in recent years and the level and contribution of late motherhood to overall fertility lags significantly behind the situation observed in the interwar period. Further, the parity structure of late childbearing has transformed. We find that the contribution of second and higher parity births has been reduced in favour of first births. With respect to non-marital childbearing, we find that it is below average in the advanced reproductive ages, in spite of rapid increase of overall share of non-marital births in the past 30 years. We use differential analysis of the late fertility to investigate trends in population subgroups. The intensity of late childbearing has increased regardless of marital status, educational attainment, ethnicity or place of residence of the mother. At the same time, however, there was a certain divergence between the observed groups of women. Late motherhood is thus associated primarily with never-married and married women, with those having lowest and highest educational attainments, of Slovak ethnicity and with those permanently resident in the urban environment, particularly in the largest cities and, consequently, in the Bratislava region.

In 1930, the population of Slovakia was in the middle of a demographic transition. Various models of fertility behaviour were common, and so were families with high and low numbers of children. This paper looks at the causes of differences in fertility by comparing the level of fertility with economic, social and cultural indicators in 81 districts of Slovakia. The results show that several social and economic factors had a strong relationship with fertility: illiteracy, infant mortality, the proportion of dependence on agriculture and other factors, most of which can be described as measures of the modernization of society. Ethnic and religious structures of the population were less important factors. Also the relationship of fertility with marriage age and the proportion of married were surprisingly weak. The paper discusses possible explanations for the relationship between fertility and indicators, i.e. mechanisms underlying these relations, but the available data do not allow sufficient verification. Instead of finding causal relations, it is possible to show the proxies of general modernization, which would be most effective in estimating the level of fertility. The level of education, which best reflects the change in economic conditions as well as change in values and attitudes of people – both necessary for fertility decline, proved to be such an indicator.
