Unemployment rising slightly, especially for women: quick analysis of registered unemployment
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate rose slightly in August '23. Nevertheless, the Czech unemployment rate remains one of the lowest in the EU27. The gender gap in the unemployment rate has widened in recent months due to faster unemployment growth among women. Occupational, educational and age differences persist. However, despite the worsening economic situation, unemployment remains low.
No cooling of the Czech labour market yet: quick analysis of registered unemployment
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate fell slightly in April '23. The Czech unemployment rate thus remains the lowest in the EU27. The gender gap in the unemployment rate has increased markedly over the past year and remains stable. Occupational, educational and age differences persist. The predicted cooling of the labour market due to the economic downturn has not yet materialised.
The impact of debtor distress and unemployment on support for extremist and populist political parties in the Czech Republic 2001–2017
Grossmann, Jakub ; Jurajda, Štěpán ; Zapletalová, Lucie
In this study, we analyze the relationships between rising rates of distraint orders and electoral support for populist political parties and extreme left and right wing political parties at the local level.
Czech women’s heads and hands remain unused
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
This analysis maps life-long profiles in the unemployment rate and hours worked by Czech women and changes in these over the past twenty years. Its key findings are presented in the form of graphs with commentary. The economic and statistic details are provided in the accompanying texts.
Voting under debtor distress
Grossmann, Jakub ; Jurajda, Štěpán
There is growing evidence on the role of economic conditions in the recent successes of populist and extremist parties. However, little is known about the role of over-indebtedness, even though debtor distress has grown in Europe following the financial crisis. We study the unique case of the Czech Republic, where by 2017, nearly one in ten citizens had been served at least one debtor distress warrant even though the country consistently features low unemployment. Our municipality-level difference-in-differences analysis asks about the voting consequences of a rise in debtor distress following a 2001 deregulation of consumer-debt collection. We find that debtor distress has a positive effect on support for (new) extreme right and populist parties, but a negative effect on a (traditional) extreme-left party. The effects of debtor distress we uncover are robust to whether and how we control for economic hardship, the effects of debtor distress and economic hardship are of similar magnitude, but operate in opposing directions across the political spectrum.
Parental allowance increase and labour supply: evidence from a Czech reform
Grossmann, Jakub ; Pertold, Filip ; Šoltés, M.
We study the effect of a CZK 80,000 (36%) increase in parental allowance, a universal basic income-type benefit, on the labor supply of parents in the Czech Republic. Drawing a parental allowance does not preclude labor market activity, which allows us to study the income effect. After the reform, mothers substantially prolonged the average period they drew an allowance. The labor market participation of mothers of young children decreased by 6 percentage points (15%). The estimated effect corresponds to a non-labor income labor supply elasticity at the extensive margin of about -0.5. The effect is particularly strong among mothers with their first child (10 p.p. or 28%) and among university-educated mothers (16 p.p. or 36%). We observe a virtually identical reduction in hours worked. We found no effect on the labor supply of fathers.
The energy crisis has not increased unemployment much yet: a quick analysis of registered unemployment
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate rose slightly in December '22. However, the Czech unemployment rate remains the lowest in the EU27. The gender gap in unemployment rates has widened noticeably over the past year. Occupational, educational and age differences persist. The energy crisis has not yet had a significant impact on unemployment, nor on the inflow of newly unemployed.
Unemployment has not yet been affected by the energy crisis: a quick analysis of registered unemployment
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate rose slightly in September '22. However, the Czech unemployment rate remains the lowest in the EU27. Gender, occupational, educational and age differences in unemployment rates persist. The development of the energy crisis has so far had a minimal impact on unemployment.
Unemployment in the period of COVID-19: June 2022
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment are hardly observed anymore. Adjusted for seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate fell again in June '22. The Czech Republic remains the country with the lowest unemployment rate in the whole EU. Differences in the impact on women and men, occupations, education and age groups are still present but small. A potential threat to the overheated Czech labour market is the projected autumn slowdown in European economies.
Nezaměstnanost v období COVID-19: březen 2022
Grossmann, Jakub ; Münich, Daniel
Dopady krize covid-19 na registrovanou nezaměstnanost již téměř odezněly. Odhlédnuto od sezónních efektů, obecná míra nezaměstnanosti v březnu ’22 poklesla. Česko zůstává zemí s nejnižší mírou nezaměstnanosti v celé EU. Rozdíly v dopadech na ženy a muže, profese, vzdělanostní a věkové skupiny jsou stále přítomné, ale malé.
