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.

AbstractStudies conducted so far suggest that SEZs are not treated by local authorities as the main mechanism of job creation in a given region. The objective of this paper is to highlight potential mechanisms through which SEZs impact labour markets in poviats (counties) in Poland. To this end we conducted a comparative analysis of changes that had taken place in the labour market over the period 2004–2016 in two groups of poviats with the highest unemployment rate reported in 2004: with and without SEZs. The study does not allow us to unambiguously conclude that SEZs contributed to the improvement of labour market situation in poviats with the highest unemployment rate in Poland. That can be attributed to the fact that SEZs in Poland are highly fragmented as well as to SEZs investors being able to select locations for their investment projects in relatively better developed regions.

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% ).

This paper evaluates the effect of China’s New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) on the retirement sustainability in forms of formal labor supply and informal labor supply in terms of care of grandchildren, using data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). We explore the regional differences of the NRPS effect on labor supply between the West and the other regions of China. Our analysis shows that rural Western China has a more severe problem of “ceaseless toil” compared to the rest of the country. We find that NRPS improves the “ceaseless toil” situation of the Chinese rural elderly especially in Western China. Our results suggest the need to increase the amount of NRPS payment, and to develop a region-specific pension programs in China.

Substantial geographic variation in healthcare practices exist. Active surveillance (AS) has emerged as a critical tool in the management of men with low-risk prostate cancer. Whether there have been regional differences in adoption is largely unknown. The SEER “Prostate with Watchful Waiting Database” was used to identify patients diagnosed with localized low-risk prostate cancer and managed with AS across US census regions between 2010 and 2016. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the impact of region on undergoing AS and factors associated with AS use within each US census region. Between 2010 and 2016, the proportion of men managed with AS increased from 20.8% to 55.9% in the West, 11.5% to 50.0% in Northeast, 9.9% to 43.4% in the South and 15.1% to 56.2% in Midwest (p < 0.0001). On multivariable analysis, as compared to the West, men in all regions were less likely to undergo AS (p < 0.001). Black men in the West (OR 1.36, 95%CI 1.25–1.49) and Midwest (OR 1.62, 95%CI 1.35–1.95) were more likely to undergo AS, but less likely in Northeast (OR 0.80, 95%CI 0.69–0.92). Men with higher socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to undergo AS in the West (OR 1.47, 95%CI 1.39–1.55), Northeast (OR 1.57, 95%CI 1.36–1.81), and South (OR 1.24, 95%CI 1.13–1.37) but not in the Midwest (OR 0.85, 95%CI 0.73–0.98). We found striking regional differences in the uptake of AS according to race and SES. Geography must be taken into consideration when assessing barriers to AS use.

AbstractThis article reconsiders the fate of the Church in the Danelaw in the period following the Viking invasions and settlement of the region. It is generally accepted that the peculiarities of ecclesiastical organization found in the Danelaw can be attributed to the impact of the Vikings, but although they undoubtedly inflicted terrible damage on the Church there may be other explanations for the idiosyncracies of the region. Pre-existing regional differences and the impact of the West Saxon conquest of the region must also be considered. The existing model for the development of the parochial system in Anglo-Saxon England-the so-called ‘minster model’-increases the sense that the Danelaw had experienced a great calamity. Yet this model is open to criticism, and its applicability to the Danelaw is brought into question. Elements of continuity can be identified as can evidence for change, and this article concludes that the period of Scandinavian settlement was but one factor that shaped ecclesiastical organization in the later Anglo-Saxon centuries.

During the 1990s, Russia underwent an extraordinary transformation from a communist dictatorship to a multi-party democracy, from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, and from a belligerent adversary of the West to a cooperative partner. Yet a consensus in the US circa 2000 viewed Russia as a disastrous and threatening failure, and the 1990s as a decade of catastrophe for its citizens. Analyzing a variety of economic and political data, we demonstrate a large gap between this perception and the facts. In contrast to the common image, by the late 1990s Russia had become a typical middle-income capitalist democracy.
