The advent of the 4. Industrial Revolution brings new opportunities, but also risks to entrepreneurs and employees as well as to education systems and the methods of teaching the present generation in education system. New job opportunities, new forms of work bring demands both from practice and from individual point of view, especially in terms of developing new competences and skills that are usable today. The scientific article is a partial output from the KEGA project 005UJS-4/2019 entitled “Streamlining Managerial Sills of the generations Z and Y by gamification on the context of linking science and practice", which is solved at the Faculty of Economics of the J. Selye University in Komárno. The current period in which we live is influenced by the rapid growth of knowledge. The established methods and forms of teaching must be changed by the school that prepares the individual to be able to adapt to changing requirements. The impact of scientific and technological progress on education is a societal problem, where the contradiction between the amount of new knowledge in individual fields of science and the educational possibilities of the school has to be addressed. The main aim of our research is to point out the effective use of innovative teaching methods by application of gamification, which leads to the development of new competences in the generation Z, which will be easier to apply in the labour market.

In the conditions of the current period, characterized through demographic increase, economical and industrialization development but also through the action often uncontrolled of human upon the environment, it is matter of environment protection. The preoccupations for the protection of natural environment were felt since the beginning of XIX century when was implied the active participation to the protection of nature beauties and to the prevention of abusive exploitation of the natural rich. In 1930 was published the Law for Protecting the Monuments of Nature, the first law for the environment protection, and one year later took place the Committee for the Protection of Nature Monuments that functions today also under the patronage of the Romanian Academy. Under the impact of the economical development, of the industrial revolution and mostly, of the technical-scientific revolution, were created lacks of balance in the environment through the pollution phenomena, more or less serious the soil level, water and air; disappearance or about to disappear many plants and animals species; the apparition of various diseases caused by pollution (SIDA, cancer, syndrome of mad cow, etc), phenomena that manifest today at the level of all countries and continents. Among time it was observed that, destroying the forests, due to which there is stability and quality of three fundamental elements of human lives, soil, air and water, provoked disastrous effects upon the environment. The actual problems of the environment may be solved through the most precise evaluation of the outturn in future of the natural resources (exhaustion of hydrocarbons deposits, restrain of wooded surfaces) in the national accountancy. National accountancy (System of national accounts) represents an evidence system and the macro economical analyze used in the statistics of the countries with a market economy, in the statistics O.N.U. and other international organizations to represent quantitative the economical reality in a period of time or at a certain moment. The evaluation and integration of the environment in the national accountancy is difficult matter, hard to realize because regarded from the economical point of view is ascertained as it offers support for the economical activity.

Abstract Due to the full integration of CAD systems into modern product development and engineering, the competency to create usable geometric models has become an essential requirement for current CAD users. To avoid serious repercussions for future engineering labor, the focus of CAD education needs to be raised from the teaching of knowledge that is merely aimed at operating a system, to the development of basic strategic knowledge. From a pedagogical point of view, this situation represents a challenging task that requires new, innovative teaching methodologies. These new methodologies must facilitate the development of know-how and cognitive ability to organize domain knowledge within a holistic mental model allowing for accurate perception of the significance of circumstances and the possible consequences of actions. In this paper a new direction for CAD education is presented, based on the integration of traditional teaching methods with an educational approach based on negative knowledge. Analysis of first empirical results of this newly developed and implemented approach showed promising results. Improvements were observed in a better understanding of issues related to the usability of CAD models and an increased capability to recognize critical modeling situations and thus prevent the mistakes typically made by novices. Also, successful autonomous attempts could be observed of recovery from situations caused either by an accumulation of small mistakes or by severe modeling errors, which usually require remedial intervention by academic supervisors. Highlights Introduction of a novel framework for supporting competency development within the field of higher education for hybrid geometric modeling. Integration of traditional teaching methods with an educational approach based on negative knowledge. Currently observed improvements of learning outcomes include a better understanding of issues related to the usability of CAD models. Increased capability to recognize critical modeling situations and thus prevent the mistakes typically made by novices.

Innovation is the source of power for the development of an enterprise. The enterprise aims to increase investment in research and development to maintain technological innovation capabilities, thereby enhancing its own competitive advantage. In order to explore the impact of capitalization intensity on corporate performance, this paper selects 2,829 Chinese non-financial listed companies from 2008 to 2020 as research samples, establishes a regression model of R&D expenditure capitalization intensity and corporate performance, and conducts multiple linear regression analysis. The research in this paper finds that the capitalization of R&D expenditure has both a value depreciation effect and a value appreciation effect. From the direct impact point of view, the accounting treatment of capitalization of R&D expenditure reduces the company’s “tax-saving” cash flow and affects the company’s internal resource allocation, thereby reducing the current financial performance; and from the perspective of future effects, capitalized R&D expenditure has passed to the market The signal of R&D “success”, the higher the degree of capitalization of R&D expenditure, the stronger the value-added ability of R&D expenditure in the current period and in the future period.

Life course trajectories of refugee populations in European countries highly depend on the various statuses and residence permits that are assigned to them. Taking the case study of Switzerland, this article aims at showing the impact of the legal framework on refugees’ chances of labour market integration. The term «refugee» here refers to all the individuals who came to Switzerland seeking asylum, no matter the outcome of the asylum procedure – and not only to those who obtained the status as defined by the 1951 Geneva Convention. In this study, the longitudinal follow‐up of the individuals is made possible by the matching of data from several population registers. From a descriptive point of view, sequence analysis allows the visualization of refugees’ trajectories from their arrival in the country – in terms of both residence permits and of labour market participation. Survival analysis models then show the concordance between the administrative status and the economic status, the access to more stable permits increasing significantly the chances of labour market integration. As a consequence, those who remain for many years with the most precarious permits (asylum seekers and provisionally admitted persons) go through a process of cumulative disadvantage. Although the economic vulnerability of refugees has been highlighted previously, this paper shows that within the refugee population, the host countries’ legislation creates an additional hierarchy, based on the residence permits, that further widens inequalities.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to assess the impact of Industry 4.0 on employment in Ukraine and the world. The following tasks are set to achieve this goal: to analyse the historical impact of industrial revolutions on employment, including the characteristics of changes in its structure, as well as professional composition; highlight how the fourth industrial revolution differs from the previous three; consider the structure of available vacancies in Ukraine and assess how the national labour market is subject to automation. Methodology of research. This article uses the historical and logical unity method to analyse the impact of industrial revolutions on employment, as well as a comparison method to highlight the distinguishing features of Industry 4.0. A graphical method is applied to assess the sectorial structure of vacancies prone to automation in Ukraine. Findings. Industry 4.0 has been found to have common and distinctive features of the impact on employment with the previous three industrial revolutions. The structure of employment at different historical stages is analysed. It was found out that its structure is actively changing now; new professions and whole branches of application of human labour are appearing. The structure of the labour market in Ukraine is considered. It has been proved that Industry 4.0 can exacerbate inequalities between different sections of the population and lead to the disappearance of a large number of occupations, which today employ half of the workforce of national economies. Originality. An analytical approach to the definition of professions that are most prone to automation in the context of the fourth industrial revolution in the Ukrainian labour market has received further development. This approach simultaneously takes into account modern foreign practices and the national statistical base. Practical value. The obtained results in the course of the study can be used in the development of state programs to support employment in the national economy. Since people will require retraining and additional training due to the special propensity of their professions to automation and computerization. In addition, the obtained data can be used to determine the priority areas of state funding for educational institutions, which in the future will reduce youth unemployment. Key words: employment, the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, national economy, influence, industry structure, automation, computerization.

The accelerated development of information and communication technologies (ICT) over the last three decades has encouraged researchers to analyse the impact of this phenomenon on the labour market. The potential decline in employment resulting from the proliferation of ICT may reduce access to basic energy services and even lead to energy poverty in the form of inability to heat the apartment as needed, allocating a significant part of revenues to expenses related to heating or problems with the timely payment of energy bills. Because access to energy is of fundamental importance for improving the quality of life and is crucial from the point of view of economic development, it is justified to verify the hypothesis that the accelerated development of ICT in EU countries may contribute to an increase in unemployment and, consequently, translate into a higher level of energy poverty. The described research results were obtained thanks to a comparative factor analysis based on secondary data. The analysis showed that in the period 2009–2019, the use of ICT had a limited impact on the unemployment rate in the EU and had a significant impact on reducing the level of energy poverty in EU Member States. As regards the impact of ICT factors on the level of energy poverty, only IP traffic showed a significant impact in this area. When it comes to the labour market, it was found that employment is chiefly influenced by economic factors such as labour costs.

Abstract Employees must adapt to these permanent changes by acquiring new skills required to use new technologies. One of the phenomena developed in order to meet these challanges is labour mobility. For the purpose of economic and social mobility, labour is a form of movement in relation to the ever-changing needs of the productive factors. Mobility in the labor market can be considered from several aspects. At the EU level, the phenomenon of labour mobility is promoted by the desire to meet the challanges arising in the labour market. From a economic and political point of view, the free movement of people is inteded to create a common market for labour and promoting EU citizens, by removing barriers in this area.
