Elderly Population and Labour Market Stabilization in Europe - The Case of Slovenia

The growing share of the retired population in Europe worsens the balance of the social costs as social consensus in most European countries rests on extensive social transfers for this population group. With its 25% share in GDP and 50% share in social transfers, the European (continental) model is indeed not sustainable when compared globally. The current prevailing model of “rejuvenation” of the labour market through immigration did not prove as a sustainable solution. The same is valid for the perspective of fast technological change. It is based on filling the labour market with low-paid jobs enabling host economies to leave aside the imperative permanent change in the labour market structure. This paper discusses the case of Slovenia and tries to search the reasons for the absence of elderly population in the labour market in this country. Based on the data comparison and disposable studies, authors try to identify the main issues when endeavouring to keep elderly population in the labour market.

Effectiveness of Price Limit on Stock Market Network: A Time-Migrated DCCA Approach

In this paper, we investigated the effectiveness of price limit on stock market with the correlation study and complex network technology. We proposed a time-migrated DCCA cross-correlation coefficient which is beneficial to detect the asynchronous correlations of nonstationary time series. The stock market network is constructed with the threshold method based on time-migrated DCCA. The effectiveness of the price limit during the stock market crash period is studied based on the time-migrated DCCA stock market network. The results indicate that the time-migrated DCCA ensures more relevant results than the equal-time DCCA method. An interesting finding is that the price limit has different effects on the stock market network at different stages of dynamic evolution. Market stabilization will be lowered and the systemic risk will be increased if the price limit is enhanced. Such studies are relevant for a better understanding of the stock market and have a significant contribution to the stock market in reality.

Evaluating the effect of various institutions on foreign trade of selected countries

In this article, the effectiveness of various legal institutions, including market-creating institutions, market-regulating institutions, market-stabilizing institutions, and market-legitimizing institutions, the business has been accurately quantified based on scientific theories. To quantify the impact of institutional variables The required annual data related to these variables for the period 2014-2005 have been collected in selected countries. The data panel model has been used to estimate the effect of independent and control variables on the dependent variable of foreign trade. Before estimating the model, pre-estimation tests including the Durability test, etc., and F-Limer tests were performed to determine whether the model was integrated. The results of estimating the models regarding the effectiveness of different types of institutions show that; the impact of market regulators on trade in both groups of countries is positive and significant and the impact of market stabilization institutions on foreign trade has a positive impact only in the group of Asian countries, with the increase in the levels of this type of institutions, the share of trade in this group of countries increases.

Land Reform and Agricultural Development, 1968–1975

This chapter focuses on the major policies under President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu that transformed the countryside and contributed significantly to the economic development of South Vietnam in the last years of the war. These policies included land reform, an agricultural development program, price liberalization, and market stabilization. The policies practically eradicated land tenancy, reduced rural inequality by creating a large class of landowners, rapidly expanded production toward achieving food self-sufficiency, and stabilized market and consumption. This took place in the middle of a savage war and amounted to a successful rural revolution that has not been adequately acknowledged in the scholarship on the war. Rather than coercion and class struggle, the Republic of Vietnam's revolution was carried out based on a combination of economic incentives and new technologies that appealed to and benefited the majority of South Vietnamese farmers.

Beekeeping: Practices, Opportunities and Challenges in Deupur, Parbat, Nepal

Beekeeping practice and challenges faced by beekeepers were studied in Deupur, Modi Rural Municipality, Parbat District, Gandaki Province, Nepal. A total of 10 farmers, who had beehives were selected for questionnaire survey during the study period. Of these, five households practiced modern way of beekeeping, two households practiced both modern and traditional way, and three household practiced traditional way of beekeeping. Eighty percent (80%) of respondents supported good forest coverage was the potential opportunities for bee keepers but 20% did not believe; 60% of respondents believed that the existence of a variety of vegetation determined the quality of honey but 40% did not and 20% of respondents were in a reasonable state for availability of resources like hives and storage vessels but 80% did not. The main challenges faced by the beekeepers were expensive modern hives, lack of modern equipments, market instability and pests of bees, such as, ants, moth, mite, wasp, marten and wall lizard. Market stabilization seems to play a provocative role to encourage the people in bee keeping, so, government should pay attention towards it.

DEVELOPMENT OF SERVICE INDUSTRIES AS A FACTOR OF LABOUR MARKET STABILIZATION IN THE SUBJECTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

No trabalho, os autores analisaram o desenvolvimento das indústrias de serviços nas regiões mais problemáticas da Federação Russa, substanciaram as suposições de que o desenvolvimento do setor de serviços em muitas regiões ajudará a estabilizar um dos segmentos mais agudos do mercado, ou seja, mercado de trabalho. Note-se que os desenvolvimentos da crise e os problemas inerentes ao mercado de trabalho hoje são o resultado de uma política de gestão ineficaz durante a formação das relações de mercado e a formação do próprio mercado de trabalho nas regiões. A destruição dos vínculos de produção, a privatização generalizada de grandes complexos industriais e as subsequentes ações não profissionais dos gerentes levaram a uma diminuição na demanda por trabalho.

ФІНАНСОВО-ЕКОНОМІЧНЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНОГО РОЗВИТКУ КЛАСТЕРООБ’ЄДНАНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ В УКРАЇНІ

The paper presents the results of a comparative study on current financing practices for innovative activity which demonstrates that the European Union has access to a wide range of sources of finance for research and innovations. In contrast to European practice, the regulation framework in Ukraine in fact relates to budget funds allocation, only, which is sufficient for mere base funding. It is argued that in modern realia, a necessary step forward should be the development of a relevant toolkit to ensure government support for boosting innovations in small and medium-sized businesses, in particular, the creation of a separate institution to support innovative development of enterprise clusters. In order to address the most pressing socioeconomic issues, such as challenges for the quality of economic growth through the development of innovative high-tech clusters, enhancing the economy competitiveness or integration into the international research and technology initiatives, programs and alliances to help domestic companies gain their competitive edge, there is a critical need to improve the government support policies and guidelines for further entrepreneurship development. Reasons have been provided that the most effective ways to attract foreign investments refer to expanding the forms of their attraction, establishing the national government regulations for signing production sharing agreements while using different funding sources to differentiate the terms of investment agreements between domestic and foreign businesses, along with building a number of strategies towards Ukrainian stock market stabilization, etc.
