“…Various suggestions have been presented to this day to improve the accuracy while measuring human development, such as the inclusion of the workforce employment level and the unemployment level as the index's sub-dimensions and indicators (Taner et al, 2011). However, while education indicators are still included in HDI, unemployment, and employment criteria are not yet included in the index.…”

“…The analysis showed that the unemployment rates of people with lower or no education in developed countries have a positive effect on the GDP. Taner et al (2011) proposed an alternative HDI as the current HDI indicators do not include the employment and unemployment dimensions of human development. A comparison of the proposed index and the current index was conducted with the data of from OECD countries between the years 1998-2010 and the correlation analysis method.…”

“…HDI is an index that allows the measurement of essential components of social policy such as education, health, as well as per capita income, which is aimed to increase the welfare level of the society. However, according to the literature, there are some deficiencies in the content of HDI since the employment structure as well as the unemployment issues and parameters should also be considered essential indicators of the countries' socio-economic development besides the HDI (Taner et al, 2011). In addition to the unemployment problem in the world, especially in developing countries, the impact of the population that is not in education or employment linked to the unemployment problem on economic development emerges as a notable field worth studying.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of education, unemployment and not-in-education employment or training (NEET) population on human development in the EU-28 countries during the 2004-2018 period by using panel data analysis. According to the panel data analysis results with Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) estimator, the variables unemployment (UNE) and education (EDU) are statistically significant in explaining Human Development Index (HDI) across the panel. In contrast, the variable NEET is found to be not statistically significant, but the obtained coefficient is in the expected direction. In this case, a 1% increase in the UNE variable decreases HDI by 0.01%, and a 1% increase in the EDU variable increases HDI by 0.30%. The model appears to be statistically significant. According to the regression estimation results based on for each country, the coefficients vary quantitatively and statistically. Still, it is noteworthy that the NEET variable, which is statistically insignificant throughout the panel, varies statistically from unit to unit. These results confirm that NEET and HDI are negatively correlated in Czechia, Denmark, Finland, and Germany, while positively correlated in France, Poland, and Portugal.

“…Seu cálculo é semelhante ao do IDH, padronizando os indicadores usuais ao Índice de Sustentabilidade Ambiental (ISA). Taner et al (2011) sugerem um índice em que a quarta dimensão esteja atrelada ao nível de desemprego dos países. Segundo o estudo desses autores, embora não tenha sido incluída atualmente nos subíndices do IDH, a taxa de desemprego é um indicador de inclusão social e de qualidade de vida por vias da utilização eficiente dos recursos humanos.…”

ResumoO conceito de desenvolvimento humano evoluiu ao longo dos anos, considerando desde uma simples medida de renda per capita até definições mais sofisticadas, como a abordagem das capacitações, de Amartya Sen, que está relacionada não apenas a aquilo que as pessoas possuem, mas também a um conjunto de capacitações que permitem às pessoas a escolha do que querem ser ou fazer. Nesse sentido, o conceito de desenvolvimento deve ser ampliado, possibilitando que o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) abranja dimensões relacionadas às liberdades individuais. No presente trabalho, sugere-se uma nova metodologia do IDH, acrescendo ao seu cálculo medidas de tolerância, criminalidade e democracia. Os resultados permitem concluir que até mesmo sociedades com elevado padrão de vida sofrem com problemas como o racismo e a falta de liberdades políticas. Palavras-chave: Tolerância, Criminalidade, Democracia, IDH, Abordagem das capacitações AbstractThe concept of human development has evolved over the years, from a simple measure of per capita income to more sophisticated definitions, such as the capability approach by Amartya Sen, which is related not only to what people have, but also to a range of capabilities that allow people to choose what they want to be or do. In this sense, the concept of development must be expanded, allowing the Human Development Index (HDI) to cover dimensions related to individual freedoms. In this paper, we suggest a new HDI methodology, adding measures of tolerance, crime and democracy in its calculation. The results allow us to conclude that even societies with a high standard of living face problems such as racism and lack of political freedoms. Key-words:Tolerance, Criminality, Democracy, HDI, Capability Approach JEL: C1, I3, J00.

“…The instability of modern economic structures and the unevenness of external and internal economic shocks are accompanied by significant asymmetric cyclical fluctuations in the economic activity and employment in Ukraine, which has led lead to significant disturbances in the economic and social environment of the country [1][2]. In this regard, the implementing effectiveness of the market transformation regulatory measures in the Ukrainian economy, aimed at ensuring its socio-economic development, competitiveness and improvement of human capital [3] requires an in-depth theoretical and empirical investigation of the functioning peculiarities of the labour market, as well as modelling the dynamics of its main indicators [4].…”

The paper studies asymmetries in cyclical behaviour of the Ukrainian and Polish labour markets, accompanied by significant nonlinear fluctuations in economic activity and the unemployment rate due to economic instability, dramatic internal disturbances of social environment and strong external shocks. We investigate the labour market in Ukraine in comparison with the labour market in Poland, the country closest to Ukraine. The conducted econometric analysis shows that after a significant economic downturn, the recovery of the labour market recovers at a slower pace than the overall economic activity. The developed Markov switching autoregressive model implies distinctive regimes of the behaviour of the unemployment rate over time, which is associated with declining and rising modes. The changes in jobless recovery depend on the current and previous changes in real gross domestic product, which has a significant impact on the unemployment rate in both regimes. The estimated transition probabilities related to being in either of the regimes implies that the Ukrainian labour market exhibits the greatest probability of remaining in the increasing unemployment regime, as well as a relatively high probability of transition from low to high unemployment. On the contrary, the Polish unemployment rate is characterised by a high probability of being in a regime with low and declining unemployment, as well as a low probability of moving into an unfavourable situation, which reflects stability of its labour market. The opposite features attributed to the Ukrainian labour market, on the one hand, and the Polish labour market, on the other hand, cause significant labour migration from Ukraine to Poland. The high uncertainty in Ukraine is a motive to seek jobs overseas, especially for the young generation. The results of the investigation confirm the urgency and importance of immediate positive shifts and development of the Ukrainian labour market in order to preserve human capital and, taking into account the negative demographic trends, ageing of the population and significant labour migration, to prevent potential depletion of the labour force.
