EU “Mobility Package” as Point of Clash Between Eastern and Western Europe

Adrian Nikolov and IME/May 20, 2019May 20, 2019 /Leave a comment

The fate of the “mobility package” is, however, far from sealed – the final decision on it will be taken not by the current, but the next composition of the European parliament, which may turn out to be more welcoming towards competition.

Under EU legislation, Member States are required to abolish any legal provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment and have to introduce measures that would facilitate getting legal remedies in cases of alleged violations of equal treatment.

Slovak Massacre by Minimum Wage

Robert Chovanculiak and INESS/April 2, 2019 /Leave a comment

The ruling politicians are unfortunately going in the opposite direction. While a person working for a minimum wage in 2015 paid 29% in taxes and levies, with the planned minimum wage, they will pay more than 40% next year.

Fixed-Term Employment for Long-Term Competitiveness

LFMI/September 13, 2018September 13, 2018 /Leave a comment

Labor market flexibility may be characterized by the market participants’ abilities to deviate from standard labor regulations and typical forms of employment. Such possibilities may not only provide positive outcomes to both employers and employees, but they may also benefit the whole economy.

Robert Chovanculiak and INESS/July 31, 2018July 31, 2018 /Leave a comment

The most important figure of the Slovak economy in the last 5 years has been the trend in unemployment. This rate had been decreasing since the first quarter of 2013 and had dropped to almost a half in the first quarter of 2018. The unemployment rate fell from more than 14% to nearly 7%.

Socially and Full Steam Ahead to the Core of the EU

Jan Oravec and F.A. Hayek Foundation/September 11, 2017 /Leave a comment

Since the great expansion of the EU in 2004, we are constantly hearing concerns about so-called social dumping from hard-core, traditional EU members. What at first seems to be an action against imminent threats to social standards in Western Europe is in fact a sophisticated instrument to eliminate competition from new EU members.

No Place for Middle Class in Lithuania

Zilvinas Silenas and LFMI/February 28, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

If a person works, strives and believes in being primarily responsible for his/her own destiny and not someone else, if that individual plans own finances, saves up and at least tries to escape from the “from pay to pay” circle – such a person is considered as the middle class or has all the potential to become it.

Robots To Take Our Jobs

Juraj Karpis and INESS/February 8, 2016August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

A robot called Baxter truly exists. It takes him one hour to learn simple repetitive movements and then it is able to repeat them with objects which weight no more than 10 kilograms. Baxter costs 22 thousand US dollars. It is less than work costs of one employee with average salary in Slovakia for two years.
