Determinanty dlouhodobé nezaměstnanosti v Evropské unii

Abstract

The master's thesis focuses on the determinants of long-term unemployment in EU countries. Based on research and empirical literature, determinants are selected that affect the general level of long-term unemployment to varying degrees. The analysis of selected determinants is conducted using panel regression from 2010 to 2021 in STATA 15. The results are presented in the form of tables first for the general level of long-term unemployment, and then for the proportion of long-term unemployment from total unemployment. The results of the analysis are subsequently compared with the results of other authors' works and with hypotheses set at the beginning of the thesis. According to the analysis, significant influences on long-term unemployment include inflation, fixed-term and shorter work contracts, the proportion of people engaged in entrepreneurial activities out of total economic activity, effective tax rates, and GDP.
