Participation of industry in economic structures of the Silesian province was decreasing between 1984 and 2006. The biggest impact it had was on changes of labour markets. During the analysed period, the number of workplaces in the province decreased from 1, 714, 404 in 1984 to 1, 058, 576 in 2006, which is about 36%. In the same time, the share of industry in the regional labour market fell down from 1, 149, 319 to 503, 190 (about 56%). As a result, the participation of industry in general employment dropped down from 65% to 45%. Similar trends could be observed in changes between the economic centres of the Silesian province. The number of workplaces decreased by about 38% in regional economy, while employment in industry was reduced by about 58%. As a result, the participation of industry in general employment dropped to the level of 21%. Significant changes could be observed in the economic structure of individual centres of the province. In the years of centrally planned economy, the structure of workplaces in the centres was dominated by industrial-specialized, industrial, and industrial-service types (96,4%). In 2006, the structure was more differentiated, with the predominating types being service-industrial, industrial-service, and service ( 70,5% ).

Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

The system-wide impacts of imperfect competition in the regional labour market are examined by means of a macro-micro simulation model (AMOS) parameterised on Scottish data. A number of theories of the operation of the regional labour market are reviewed and it is indicated how these can be operationalised within AMOS through the adoption of different labour-market closures. Two sets of simulations are performed. The first involves nominal and real wage shocks to the regional economy. In the second, a demand disturbance is introduced under various labour-market closures. The sensitivity of the results to assumptions concerning the openness of the regional economy and the flexibility of the production technology is also discussed.

Regional labour market analysis is ideally based on functional rather than administrative areas. Travel-to-work data obtained from the 1991 and 2001 Census are used to define a set of functional labour markets for New Zealand. Considerable stability is found in the boundaries of the identified labour markets 1991 and 2001 although with a reduction in the number of areas from 140 to 106. The overall stability in the identified areas suggests that they provide a robust basis for regional analysis. The reduction in the number of areas is explained in part by data deficiencies associated with the 2001 Census and in some instances by changes in commuting patterns.

Regional Labour Markets

As unacceptably high unemployment levels persist throughout the OECD so greater attention is being paid to differences in the way regional Labour markets adjust to growth and recession. Comparatively speaking New Zealand has lacked both the conceptual and empirical analyses necessary to build local and regional specific approaches into its active labour market policies - despite the persistence of regional disparities through the post war period. When regional differences are raised for public discussion in New Zealand it is the geographical variations in the unemployment rate that usually receives attention. What this paper shows is that unemployment is merely the surface phenomenon of a condition which is much more deeply embedded in the regional labour markets affected. This is illustrated by constructing a regional labour market profile which measures each of the 14 regions on four separate labour market indicators. When applied at the height of the New Zealand recession in 1991 the profile demonstrated how regions with high unemployment rates not only experience Low labour force participation rates but that when members of the labour force in such regions do find work they work fewer hours and even when fulltime employment is obtained the levels of remuneration are lower than those in the more buoyant regions. The result of these interconnected characteristics of regional labour markets is a series of indirect multipliers which serve to exaggerate and compound the effect of depressed labour demand on weaker markets.

In this work, the changes in the economic structure of the population of Vojvodina are considered between two censuses of population, limiting the beginning (1991) and the end of the first stage of transition (2002). Defining the transition as an attempt of the creation of a modern market economy, the author defined the development of human capital as the basic criterion for the analysis, developed as a special methodological concept based upon the category of labor and supplemented with various demograhpic criteria as health status, education, national structure and historical heritage. The performed analysis indicates that unevenly distributed transitional depression, various local and subregional demographic factors complex ethnical structure, historical heritage and the related problems of separatism, particularism and neglect of common interests impose the purposeful division of labour market to partial subregional labour markets aimed, on the basis of network organization, for a more efficient neutralization of these problems.

The Impact

Regional differences are one of the most visible problems of the Slovak economy. Although they emerged in the time of the centrally planned economy before 1989, the successful transformation into a market-oriented economy could not eliminate them. The differences between the regions in the west and east of Slovakia are visible in all measurable indicators. The registered unemployment rate is one of the indicators that is most often used to express disparities between the western and eastern regions of the country. Also with regard to its reduction, a law was created on the support of the least developed districts. Based on it, a given group of districts is allowed to draw funds on terms that are more favourable. The following article analyses the impact of the provided financial funds on the labour market in the least developed districts.

European Migration

This article deals mainly with new forms of Intra-European migration, processes of integration and inequality, and the dynamics of emerging transnational labour markets in Europe. We discuss these issues against the background of fundamental changes which have been taking place on the European continent over the past two decades. Drawing on available comparative European data, we examine, in a first step, whether the changes in intra-European migration patterns have been accompanied by a differentiation of the causes of migration. In a second step, we discuss the extent to which new forms of transnational labour markets have been emerging within Europe and their effects on systems of social stratification.

The Impact

The article reflects the results of a study of the impact of migration on regional labour markets amidst a decline in the working-age population in Russia. After substantiating the relevance of the issues under consideration, the authors propose a methodological analysis toolkit, the author’s own methodology for calculating the coefficients of permanent long-term external and internal labour migration in regional labour markets, and the coefficient of total migration burden. In addition, the authors provide an overview of the information and statistical base of the study. According to current migration records, data of Rosstat sample surveys on Russian labour migrants leaving for employment in other regions, regional labour resources balance sheets based on the calculated coefficients of labour market pressures, the authors analyzed the impact of migration on the Russian regional labour markets over the past decade. It revealed an increasing role of internal labour migration in many regions, primarily in the largest economic agglomerations and oil and gas territories. At the same time, the role of external labour migration remains stable and minimum indicators of the contribution of permanent migration to the formation of regional labour markets continue to decrease. It has been established that irrational counter flows of external and internal labour migration have developed, which indicates not only an imbalance in labour demand and supply but also a discrepancy between the qualitative composition of migrants and the needs of the economy. It is concluded that the state does not effectively regulate certain types of migration, considering its impact on the labour market. The authors justified the need for conducting regular household sample surveys according to specific programs to collect information about labour migrants and the conditions for using their labour. In addition to the current migration records, using interregional analysis, this information allows making more informed decisions at the federal and regional levels to correct the negative situation that has developed in the regional labour markets even before the coronavirus pandemic had struck.
