Factors that influence the unemployment rate in Ukraine
Ilienko, Alisa
Ilienko, A. Factors that influence unemployment rate in Ukraine. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2023. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to identify the factors affecting the unemploy-ment rate in Ukraine. The factors are identified based on theoretical knowledges and experience of other countries, mainly those with economies in transition. Next, the labor market in Ukraine, the state of the economy and factors that may affect the unemployment rate are investigated. The peculiarities of the Ukrainian labor market are also taken into account, such as a large part of the shadow economy, a high level of corruption, regional unemployment and labor forces migration. To achieve this goal, multiple regression analysis is used to build an appropriate model. The influence of the average amount of unemployment benefits, corruption index, population aged 15-70 employed in the informal sector, minimum wage, GDP growth, FDI incoming, inflation index on the unemployment rate in Ukraine was tested. Statistically significant turned to be such factors as Corruption Index, Popu-lation employed in the informal sector, Minimum wage, and incoming FDI. Further, the influence of the factors was explained from the point of view of the Ukrainian labor market.

Aging population in the Czech republic, a good opportunity?
Novák, Vladimír ; Szabová, Lucia (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
The question of how to increase the involvement of elderly people in the labour force is a highly debated issue nowadays in the Czech Republic. Due to more frequent health restrictions, lower qualification and lower labour productivity older people belong into a risk group for which it is increasingly difficult to obtain employment. This problem may, moreover, continue to grow in the future and thus its significance can reach grandiose proportions. Due to current demographic trends as well as gradual extension of the age limit for retirement, it is safe to say that in a few years there will be a huge group of older people in pre-retirement age on the labour market. To define a group of older workers more accurately I will focus on basic demographic indicators such as fertility, mortality, or age pyramid of population (i.e. tree of life) at the beginning of this thesis. In the next step I will characterize this group by using the forward projection. However, one should ask herself or himself a question whether this situation represents only a threat or whether it can be used as an opportunity as well. The main objective of my work is to analyze possibilities of the economic policy of the Czech Republic and the European Union support programs in their effort to give incentives to employers and stimulate work activities of older people.
