New Reality of Work

Kaja Kallas and Academy of Liberalism/May 7, 2018 /Leave a comment

In political discussions, we often ask whether a specific policy will create or destroy jobs. The success of an economic sector is often measured by the number of jobs it provides. The question of jobs is particularly topical in the context of new businesses or start-ups.

Tax Freedom Day Falls in Lithuania

LFMI/May 23, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

This year the Tax Freedom Day comes five days later; regrettably, government spending surpasses economic growth and Lithuanian taxpayers should work more and more just to pay taxes. To compare, Estonia celebrated on May 7, the United States on April 23, and Australia on April 13.

Does Labor Have a Future?

Jan Oravec and F.A. Hayek Foundation/February 9, 2017August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

If you think that these trends won’t affect you, because although you still have plenty time before you retire, or because you are not a blue-collar worker, don’t cheer too soon. The development of artificial intelligence can bring robotization and automatization not only to sectors where manual work with often repeated actions is needed.

Who Profits from Making Sneakers?

Robert Chovanculiak and INESS/November 14, 2016August 7, 2017 /Leave a comment

Competition creates pressure to decrease profits in every part of production. Therefore, if someone would like to “help” developing countries by restrictions and price regulations, there should not expect that all costs will be absorbed by the corporations.

Drawing on the fundamental values of the free movement of persons and the free movement of services, it allows workers from one EU member state to work and carry out services in another member state on a temporary basis.
