One of the immanent features of the capitalist economy, i.e. incomplete employment, that is, unemployment is considered. In author's thinking, compatible with Karl Marx's views, there is no capitalist way of production without the existence of unemployment, the so-called reserve labour army. After reminding the different types of unemployment and its theories, and also the category of the organic composition of capital, he comes to the conclusion that the trends and types of technical progress by its distinctly anti-employment tendency lead to the intensification of the phenomenon of unemployment. An attempt at a statistical theory of formulation of the category of organic composition of capital is also presented. In the final parts of the paper some ways of combating unemployment were discussed, essential in the present situation of the Polish economy. These are:(1) so-called ecological agriculture, (2) the question of pensions and sick pensions, and (3) shortening of the work time.

Hysteresis effect on unemployment is a much discussed topic in macroeconomics. However, empirical findings regarding the existence of hysteresis effect are contradictory. The present study investigates hysteresis in the unemployment rates of the Visegrad Group countries, namely: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. For this purpose it employs the following three econometric methods: (1) the linear unit root tests; (2) the Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Augmented Dickey-Fuller (SURADF) test; and (3) the Fourier Dickey-Fuller (FADF) test. The findings revealed that among the Visegrad Group countries hysteresis effect was found to exist in the unemployment rates in Hungary and Poland.

In this paper we estimate the determinants of inter-regional migration of Czech population in the years 1992-2001. Despite the increasing disparities among the regions, we find that the migration rate remains at the relatively low levels and economic variables such as unemployment or wages matter only to a certain extent. The results indicate that the liquidity constraints play a role and therefore, the migration rates are higher only among the richer regions.

The problem of high unemployment has stigmatized the Slovak labour market for several decades. Policy makers have espoused ambitions to solve this problem but with varyingly small degrees of success. One of the measures of labour market policy can be direct financial support directed at job creation for the unemployed. This article aims to analyse and develop a procedure useful for estimating the effective amount of state subsidies for such kinds of job creation policy. The results indicate that the proposed methodology could be a useful tool to evaluate the upper limit of subsidies.

My paper presents the employment situation by the Visegrad Four (V4) countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) in the recent years. I have chosen the analysis of the employment policy, unemployment and the regional disparities because they have been more and more used in the economy and can be considered an actual question. The extensive economic literature deals with the role of the state it plays in the area of employment and revitalising demand in order to treat economic crisis; it also includes the probable benefits and drawbacks of the measures. My hypothesis states that the employment position of the Visegrad Four is different in the European Union relation, and in the V4 relations, its human resource position is weak, the level of employment is low, which is influenced by several factors and the four countries have different employment trends. The methodology of the paper is the analysis of available statistical data, the study and critical analysis of the situation.

The article concerns changes taking place in the regional labor market in Poland under the influence of the economic crisis. Statistical analysis is based on data published by GUS and includes: employment and unemployment change levels in years 2006-2009 in Poland, and the sector level and the structure of employment in regional labor markets. On the basis of statistical data regarding employment, the regions were determined which were distinguished positively in view of the whole country, in terms of processes advancement of employment structure changes in the direction specific for the post-industrial period. This confirms the thesis that more developed and diversified regions, according to economic base, cope better in the conditions of an economic crisis. In consequence, this leads to situation deterioration of differentiation in regional labor markets.

Homelessness, as a form of life, is one of the most serious social and welfare problems nowadays. The problem of homelessness shows the defects of welfare (unemployment care, child and youth care), different social (law enforcement) systems of provision and certain legal regulations (e.g. no proper regulations protecting the rights of tenants). On the other hand homelessness can be the cause of other serious - not yet solved - problems like criminality, alcoholism and the lack of solidarity of the society. According to examinations alcoholism goes together with homelessness, it is a kind of escape from a hopeless situation and in many cases it is the first step of becoming homeless. In these social groups in most of the cases crime is the result of anger caused by alcohol or crime simply makes it easier to become a victim. There are others who become homeless after serving their prison sentence. These problems must not be separated; they should be examined and treated as a whole because they are in a very close connection. We have to try to find the right solutions and apply the right means in order to solve the problem of homelessness.

The contribution deals with the employment problem in EU countries and approaches to its solution that are based on the European Council recommendations. Unemployment in EU has been a serious problem from the global point of view, but we can also see regional differences, long term unemployment and unemployment of young people. The European development model includes economic measures based on complex social policy and employment policy. The objective of employment policy is to balance labour supply and labour demand, to provide citizens with the right to work and to utilise the labour resources effectively. The contribution evaluates results of implementing the Employment strategy in EU 15 as well as in Slovakia.

This paper investigates the pattern of exiting unemployment in Slovakia during the period 2005 – 2009 using an alternative concept of unemployment represented by the self-perceived labour market status as measured by the EU-SILC dataset. In particular, we examine the effects on unemployment duration of the changes in labour regulations as captured by a major Labour Code reform in 2007. Applying standard statistical techniques to several inflow samples we find that after the new Labour Code came into effect in September 2007 the unemployed have, ceteris paribus, lower probability of exiting unemployment by almost 40%.

The principal aim of this paper is to determine which inputs affect active labour market policy expenditure of nine OECD countries. After the theoretical insight, we have conducted an empirical analysis using data from 2000 to 2013 and applied the dynamic Arellano-Bond panel data model. We checked the robustness of our results by revising our dynamic Arellano-Bond model (by excluding correlated and non-significant variables) and comparing the results with the fixed-effects and random-effects data estimation model. Our results show that, from the practical standpoint, the expenditure on active labour market policy measures in the previous year has had the strongest impact on the expenditure in the following period. We have noticed a change in factors that influence the expenditure from the pre-crisis to the post-crisis period. General economic indicators (such as GDP) and labour market indicators play more important role in times of the economic crisis.

This article focuses on the problem of unemployment of people over 50 years of age in Poland. Restructuring of the economy causes that they are the first to be redundant and the last to be re-employed. The aim of the employment policy is the professional activity amongst the elderly population, but the one implemented so far is insufficient especially for these with low qualifications. This activity should be supported by facilitating the access to the employment, social and professional integration.

In the article the current situation on the job market in Silesian Voivodeship and changes occurring on it are presented together with the predicted development tendencies. Special attention was devoted to the dynamics of changes in the structure of the unemployed, employees and employers. Silesian regional job market - as it is often underlined in subject literature - is a special type of market, shaped by the centuries of tradition in development of the mining industry as well as iron and steel industry. It has been associated with the region in the social consciousness for a long time and up to the present. However, this job market, evolves and changes and many modernisation processes occur within it. Slowly, but systematically the industry is forced out by the service sector, which is still underestimated. The beginning of 2009 marks the significant unemployment increase, occurring together with growing problem of group dismissals. This situation is a consequence of the processes of inclusion of the national job market into the influence of the world markets. The observed economic slowdown, which in some countries results in recession, implies the possibility of structural unemployment in some local job markets of Silesian Voivodeship, in particular those which are dominated by the car industry monoculture.

The Hungarian government increased the minimum wage from HUF 25,500 to HUF 40,000 in January 2001. One year later, the wage floor rose further to HUF 50,000. The paper looks at the short-run impact of the first hike on small-firm employment and flows between employment and unemployment. It finds that the hike significantly increased labour costs and reduced employment in the small-firm sector and adversely affected the job-retention and job-finding chances for low-wage workers. While the conditions for a positive employment effect were mostly met in depressed regions, the spatial inequalities were amplified, rather than reduced by the measure.
