High Degree

Hungary has a higher unemployment rate than the member states of the European Union and even most former socialist countries. This rate for 15-64 year-olds has been around 56% since 1999, as against 66% in the European Union (OECD Employment Database). There is also a high degree of regional unevenness within the country. The situation is worst in North Hungary, an area of multiple economic and social deprivations. Several pieces of research have analysed the causes of long-term unemployment and have highlighted the main social, geographical and institutional factors behind it. People of low educational attainment who live in small villages and members of the Roma minority are particularly likely to have been without jobs for a long time.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the newly convergences between theRomanian legal system and that of other Member States of the European Union in the field ofgood faith.In the first part of the article, we try to establish the core values of good faith ingeneral and subsequently in the field of contract law, as perceived by the national scholarsand researchers. While good faith had merely the role of a general rule which was rathersimplistically associated with fairness and morale, in light of the recent developments broughtupon by the enactment of the new Civil Code, good faith has become a focal point in severalinstitutions in the field of contract law.The second part of the article aims to identify the origin of the rules set out in theRomanian legislation, by investigating the motifs behind the adhering to the line of thought asset out by the Principles of European Contract Law.In the last part we will illustrate the recent trends and goals of the European Union inthe field of contract law and also try to correlate how these actions will translate to theRomanian national legal system in theory and in practice in the years to come.

Changing Economy

Education and skills are increasingly important determinants of life outcomes in Europe. On the positive side, populations across Europe are upgrading their educational attainment, and educational attainment is less strongly linked to parental background than it was for previous generations. On the negative side, important gaps remain in educational attainment and foundation skills. Furthermore, while lifelong learning is becoming increasingly important in today’s fast changing economy, those individuals who need it most may not always have access to adequate opportunities to upskill or reskill. Finally, there is substantial variation across countries in Europe at the level of education and labour outcomes, reflecting factors such as the structure of national education systems, the institutional and sectoral setup of the economy, and so on.

Recent Trends

As the international business environment becomes increasingly global and competitive, a manager’s job becomes more challenging and diverse. The recent trends of globalization and competition are attributed to several triggering factors such as technological development, new emerging and investment-friendly markets, and the availability of globally-scaled logistics. Companies increasingly seek a variety of growth options including cross-border mergers, joint ventures, direct investments, and strategic alliances. Similarly, markets are integrating via a variety of mechanisms ranging from a simple trade level integration (witness the growth of free trade agreements) to a more complex political unification, such as the European Union (EU).

Abstract We study whether educational homogamy has increased following the rise of women’s educational attainment and of egalitarian couples in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. From the analysis of data from the European Union and Swiss Labour Force Surveys over a 15-year period (1999–2013), we observe that educational homogamy did not increase across cohorts, although we find substantial differences in the degree of homogamy according to couple arrangements.
