Deregulation of the labour markets in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe — selected issues

Abstract

The countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s pursued the transformation processes which were to result in introducing systemic changes and building market economies. It was a process requiring adjustment of the regulatory and system framework to the requirements of the EU. One of the areas covered by the changes was the labour market. The reforms related to the functioning of national labour markets necessitated taking many decisions, often difficult ones, as they were associated with incurring high social costs. The aim of this study is to examine how the processes of labour legislation deregulation influenced the situation in the labour markets of individual countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and in particular their employment levels. The study was based on data from years 2004 and 2015. The study used available Eurostat statistics databases. Elements of descriptive statistics were also used as a tool.

  2. An unfavorable increase in the general indicator of risk of poverty or social exclusion occurred in 2 countries (Bulgaria and Slovenia), in the others the indicator dropped by an average of 2.9 pp. The achieved restriction of this indicator is too small to meet the EU target in this respect (table 5). open in new tab
  3. Summarizing, in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, the completion of union goals in the area of employment (first union goal in table 1) and limiting poverty (third union goal) is rather unprobeable. There is however a big chance achieving goals in the area of education (second goal in table 1) which requires intensification of actions in the member states. BIBLIOGRAPHY: open in new tab

Siekdama įvertinti jų įgyvendinimo pažangą, Europos Sąjunga sukūrė sintetinių rodiklių rinkinį, leidžiantį palyginti pasiekimus tiek nacionaliniu, tiek ir Bendrijos lygiu. Straipsnio tikslas -įvertinti šių tikslų įgyvendinimą buvusio Rytų bloko šalyse, remian- tis jų matavimų sintetiniais rodikliais. Tyrimo laikotarpis yra 2010-2015 m. Straipsnyje buvo naudojamas teisės aktų analizės metodas, statistiniai duomenys, indekso metodas, lyginamoji analizė ir "teigiamų" vertinimų skalė, apibrėžianti pasiekimų lygį. Tai leido nustatyti, kokiose šalyse ir kokiu mastu yra pasiekti numatyti socialiniai tikslai.
