The impact of the administration of unemployment benefits on time spent unemployed is a neglected issue in discussion of incentive effects in Central and Eastern Europe. The authors use Labour Force Survey data, administrative registers and inspection of benefit office practices to show that there is good reason to investigate this issue in Hungary. They report results from a field experiment designed to show the impact of tightening the administration of benefits, in which benefit claimants were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. Treatment has quite a large effect on the benefit receiving durations of women aged 30 and over, while no effect was found for younger women or for men.

The aim of the study is to present the changes in the number and social and demographic features of the population connected with farming, as well as to show the specificity and complexity of employment issues in individual farming, and the discussion of changes in relations within the scope of labour force in peasant farming and the influence of hired labour in family farm on the rural labour market. The years 2000-2005 were the period in which farming families limited their own labour effort, although the relations within the scope of labour in individual farms still have remarkably family nature. In general, one can observe small influence of employment possibilities in farms on easing imbalance on the rural labour market as in 2005 individual farming created permanent job possibilities for 30 thousand people and seasonal and temporary jobs for the group of app. 470 thousand people. At that time, the open unemployment rate in Polish farming families may be determined at 369 thousand and the hidden unemployment rate at app. 500 thousand people.

In the previous years, the development of the macroeconomic parameters was favourable, except the labour market. The trends in an unemployment rate, as well as a development of the real wages seemed not to be in the accord with the high economic growth. In 2005, the development on the labour market was different, and more favourable than in the previous the other kinds of imbalance - higher growth of the real wages compared with lower growth of a productivity. This article explains changes in the development trends in the year 2005, makes statements to some discussed topics (risks of imbalance between wage growth and productivity growth or the scope of tax wedge) and indicates the possible development projections in the years 2006 and 2007.

The following article presents results of projecting the size of the economically active population in Slovakia until 2025 in three scenarios based on the anticipated age of retirement (62, 65, 70). Using individual data from the Labour Force Survey and a regional demographic forecast for Slovakia and applying the logit model we estimated the probability of economic activity for subgroups of the population. Assuming the retirement age at 62 we estimate the size of the economically active population in Slovakia to culminate in 2013 and decrease onwards rather sharply. Postponing the retirement age to 65 anticipates only a slowdown of the decreasing trend while postponing it to 70 would allow the number of the economically active population to culminate at higher levels earliest around 2020. The share of older age groups and individuals with university education should increase in line with expected trends.

The aim of this article is to do justice to a formation of bad workers reputation in connection with phenomena such as absenteeism and stuff turnover in Ostrava - Karvina district in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century. The article intends on formation of such reputation in 'Havirska pravda' magazine - company magazine of ZS ROH of 'Dul Ceskoslovenske armada' (the Czechoslovak Army Mine), 'Karvina II - Doly'. The magazine presented negative examples on one hand and on the other hand it presented good ones as well. The common features can be found in the way of compiling the portraits by various authors as well as in their expression using. Those features became characteristic for two opposite types of miners - good ones and bad ones.

The paper presents a method of assessment of the long-term impact of migration on the development of population and labour force in 287 regions of Europe in 31 countries. The first stage of the study was to prepare population projections in several variants. An important issue was to address the problem of the availability and quality of data on international migration. The measurement of the impact of migration on total population and labour force was conducted by comparing the percentage changes in population and labour force obtained in various simulations. The impact on the age structure was examined by analyzing demographic and labour force dependency ratios. A method of comparing the impact of various components of population change: natural change and different categories of migration flows (extra-European migration, international migration within Europe and internal migration) was proposed. In the second part of the paper, selected results of the simulations, showing potential long-term consequences of the observed migration flows, were presented. Special attention was paid to the regional differences in the consequences.
