“…The job fair exhibits make job fair for visitors in Malang easier to find a job. These study results are consistent with Sengul (2017) that job fairs can reduce unemployment. Higher job opportunities themselves ultimately has an impact on reducing unemployment.…”

“…It is also necessary to emphasize that the foundation of effective implementing LMP is the simultaneous occurrence of certain determinants of the effectiveness. Empirical literature indicates, for example, that even moderate benefit sanctions increase the job-finding rates of the unemployed (Cahuc & Zylberberg, 2004;Sengul, 2017). Sanctions also increase the exit rate from unemployment to an ALMP for flat-rate labour market support recipients (Busk, 2016).…”

Research background: In the era of demographic changes and the need for rationalization of public expenditure, the European Union social policy promotes the activation approach. In addition, a growing importance of increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of public entities can be noticed. These phenomena are visible in the implementation of the labour market policy. However, the EU countries represent a different approach to spending public funds on issues related to the implementation of labour market policy. Purpose of the article: The authors are presenting the main theoretical assumptions concerning effectiveness and efficiency of labour market policy. Moreover, in the paper the EU countries are classified in clusters according to their level of expenditure on different categories of LMP. A comparison of the situation over ten years — in 2004 and 2014 — has also been conducted. In 2004, ten new members entered the EU, and the year 2014 presents the most current data in the analyzed area. Methods: As a research method cluster analysis was applied. Cross-country labour market situation throughout the EU is presented by the analysis of the Eurostat data. The countries are grouped in clusters following Ward's and k-means methods. Findings & Value added: There is a need to work out a complex evaluation of labour market policies in the EU to provide comparative analysis of the EU countries (or groups of countries). It would allow to determine the level of development of the country in terms of the efficiency of labour market policies. The EU countries with the best labour market indicators represent diverse levels of LMP expenditure.

“…Although there are general gender indicators that have been calculated to measure the degree of gender inequality, namely the Gender-related Development Index (GDI) and the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), they do not measure gender inequality in unemployment (Busse and Spielmann 2006). Unlike Gimenez-Nadal and Molina (2014), Ollikainen (2006), Sengul (2017), and many others who compared gender unemployment rates of women with men unemployment rates, or Bakas and Papapetrou (2014), Peiro et al (2012) and others who analyzed the gender inequality in unemployment using the ratio of female to male unemployment rates or their differences, as proposed by Queneau and Sen (2007), we propose a unemployment gender inequality indicator that extracts the tendency of unemployment gender inequality from the tendency of the unemployment rates by gender. Gender inequality has already been described by many characteristics such as education (Weiss 2000), age (Maloney 2011), duration of unemployment (Pašic et al 2011).…”

Gender inequality is persistent in the labor market despite equality between genders being one of the fundamental principles of the EU law. This is a reason why we have decided to analyze gender inequality in unemployment rates of the 27 European Union countries. Unemployment gender inequality differs across EU countries. There are countries where gender gap is persistent, but there are also countries where gender gap changed during the observed period of 2005Q1-2017Q2. Moreover, in some countries gender inequality decreased, while in others it was steady. Unemployment rates differ across countries similarly as unemployment gender inequality does, therefore, by choosing these countries, we have obtained a portfolio of distinct behaviors throughout the time. We have also obtained the relations between them. We test the hypothesis of the hysteresis to check the relation between the unemployment gender inequality and the unemployment rate levels, gender disadvantaged through unemployment gender inequality and the unemployment rate levels. This hypothesis was tested for both univariate and panel data country series. We could not reject the hypothesis of the hysteresis in univariate country series using a battery of GLS unit root tests proposed by Carrióni-Silvestre et al. (Econ Theory 25:1754-1792, 2009. However, ILT test of Im et al. (Oxf Bull Econ Stat 67:393-419, 2005) rejected the hypothesis of the hysteresis for panel data of the European Union countries. Finally, the relationship between unemployment gender inequality and disadvantaged gender in inequality depends on the country analyzed. This result suggests that further analysis is needed to identify * Marina Faďoš
