The impact of unemployment on economic development in the Visegrad group (V4) countries
Phan, Sreypech
This study has attempted to scrutinize the impact of unemployment on economic development in the Visegrad (V4) countries comprising the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, using time series data obtained from the World Development Indicators over a 29-year period from 1993 to 2021. This study has employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique for empirical investigation. GDP growth rate is a dependent variable employed as a proxy for economic development. In the present study, the explanatory variables are unemployment, inflation, and the labor force. The empirical findings indicate that the long-term relationship between economic growth and various independent variables differs significantly across four countries. In the Czech Republic, inflation and unemployment negatively affect economic growth in the long run. In Hungary, unemployment has a strong negative impact on economic growth, while the effect of inflation and the labor force on GDP is uncertain. In Poland, the labor force has a positive impact on GDP, while unemployment has a negative impact. In Slovakia, only the labor force has a negative impact on GDP in the long run. In the short run, the study found that unemployment had a significant negative impact on GDP in all four countries, while labor force and inflation had significant positive and negative effects, respectively, only in the Czech Republic and Poland. Additionally, the lagged values of unemployment had significant effects on current GDP in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. The findings suggest that unemployment is an important determinant of economic growth in the short term in all four countries, while the impact of labor force and inflation on GDP is less clear, as they only have significant effects in some countries. The study provides insights into the determinants of economic growth in four Central European countries and highlights the importance of the unemployment rate as a short-term determinant of economic growth in all four countries. The study's findings suggest that policymakers in these countries should prioritize policies aimed at reducing unemployment to promote economic growth. Additionally, the study's findings can be valuable to researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the economic dynamics of Central European countries and design effective policies to promote economic growth.

As a result, some EU nations have experienced the inflow of large amount of immigrants and disturbances on their labor markets. With regard to this, the concept of Immigration Surplus that proposes that phenomenon of immigration can trigger a process of redistribution of wealth that could enhance the level of production and increase the national income can be applied for analyzing these processes. In addition, research literature suggests that deeper integration of immigrants into host countries can lead to higher levels of economic success. Thus, high levels of...

Determinants of youth unemployment
Lakotová, Lenka ; Slaný, Martin (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with the determinants of youth unemployment It uses the panel data regression analysis of EU countries. The work assembled models with the dependent variable the unemployment rate and the model is estimated for each demographic group. The models are represented by institutional variables, the macro-economic variables, demographic variables and variables representing education. The goal is to prove or disprove the hypothesis that individual determinants affect differently to the youth unemployment rate and unemployment rate of main age group. Partial task is to answer the question whether more significant determinants of unemployment rate are institutional or macro-economic determinants. The result of the analysis work is that institutional factors are not important determinants of unemployment rate. Conversely, macro-economic variables, GDP growth and inflation are significant determinants. Significant determinants are also variables representing education. The estimated coefficients of these significant determinants and variables employment labor protection and the tax rate are higher for young people than for the main age group. However, there was not found determinant that would be robustly more significant for youth than for main age group.

Řeháková, Petra ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Maleček, Petr (referee)
The topic of my bachelors work is the prognosis of the demographical development of the population in the Czech Republic and its' future effect on employment, the labor market and the resulting economical impacts on the economy of the Czech Republic. A significant component will be the engagement of the migration of foreign inhabitants into the Czech Republic and related to this, the importance of programs for simpler adaptation of foreign human capital in our conditions. With regards to the expected aging of the population of the Czech Republic, the foreign work force will be incorporated as one of the factors influencing employment, the future of labor markets in the Czech Republic and the development of domestic product. I will include the views and economical studies of prominent economists in my work. In the conclusion I will concentrate on the complete summarization of my achieved results and their comparison to research and to data measured by the Czech Statistical Bureau.
