The aim of this article is to evaluate the competing theories that variously explain the greater prevalence of undeclared employment in some countries either as: a legacy of under-development; a result of the voluntary exit from declared employment due to the high taxes, state corruption and burdensome regulations and controls, or a product of a lack of state intervention in work and welfare which leads to the exclusion of workers from the declared economy and state welfare provision. Analyzing the cross-national variations in the prevalence of, and reasons for, undeclared employment across the European Union using evidence from a 2007 Eurobarometer survey, the finding is that undeclared employment is less prevalent and more of the voluntary variety in wealthier, less corrupt and more equal societies possessing higher levels of social protection and redistribution via social transfers. The theoretical and policy implications are then discussed.

According to Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1588 of 13 th July 2015 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to certain categories of horizontal State aid the Commission may declare state aid for research&development and innovation compatible with the internal market and are not subject to the notification requirement of Article 108(3) TFEU. Authorized by mentioned Regulation, Commission adopted Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty and stipulated conditions under which state aid for research&development and innovation is exempted from the notification requirement. It does not mean that state aid which does not fulfill prescribed conditions is forbidden. State aid which does not fulfill envisaged conditions can be considered compatible with the internal market if after notification to the Commission it assessing it separately establishes that it satisfies each of the following criteria: contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest; need for State intervention; appropriateness of the aid measure; incentive effect; proportionality of the aid (aid limited to the minimum); avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States and transparency of aid

Demographic processes observed within the boundaries of European Union rural areas, including a decrease in the rural population, unfavorable changes in its age composition, deterioration in health, an increase in mortality for various reasons, and especially in connection with the pandemic COVID-19, cause new serious problems that require an active state intervention, namely the development and application of government support various forms. The purpose of the study, the results of which are presented in this article, is generalization and analysis of the available statistical material on rural demography in the EU countries over the past few decades, identification of the main trends and problems in the development of their rural areas, general characteristics those components of the Common Agricultural Policy that are aimed directly at rural development in the current conditions. The work uses survey and analytical research methods that are suitable for studying a large amount of data over a long period of time, including information regarding the demography of the EU countries, presented in the sources of global statistics. The hypotheses verifi ed in the course of the study allowed, in the end, to conclude that negative demographic processes in some countries of the European Union correlate with the phenomena observed in domestic demography and, as a result, determine similar problems and directions for their solution, the growth of the rural population, recorded in some countries (especially in connection with the coronavirus crisis and its consequences), generates many important tasks in the development of rural areas, as it is accompanied by an additional need for jobs, infrastructure facilities, services that important for life. The conclusions obtained during the research of demographic processes in the EU countries are advisable for using as, firstly, a starting point in further research to identify the possibilities for incorporating the European experience in supporting rural areas in domestic economic practice, and secondly, conceptual ideas in determining the content of the relevant public policy.

The Impact

This report concerns the activities developed by the Mental Health and Social Exclusion (MHSE) Network, an initiative supported by the Mental Health Europe (World Federation of Mental Health). We report some data from the preliminary survey done in five capital cities of the European Union (Madrid, Copenhagen, Brussels, Lisbon, and Rome). The main aim of this survey was to investigate, from a mostly qualitative point of view, the causal and supportive factors implicated in the situation of the homeless mentally ill in Europe. The results point out the familial and childhood roots of homelessness, the perceived causes of the situation, the relationships with the support services, and the expectations of future of the homeless mentally ill. The analysis of results has helped to identify the different variables implicated in the social rupture process that influences homelessness in major European cities. The results were used as the basis for the design of a more ambitious current research project about the impact of the medical and psychosocial interventions in the homeless. This project is being developed in 10 capital cities of the European Union with a focus on the program and outcome evaluation of the health and psychosocial services for the disadvantaged.
