“…Similarly to many other European countries, the labour market situation for migrants in Finland presents room for improvement. Migrants have had higher unemployment rates compared to native citizens (VATT, 2014;Busk et al, 2016;Belegri-Roboli et al, 2018), resulting in lower income levels as well (Busk et al, 2016;Sarvimäki, 2011). The labour market position of migrant women is particularly inferior, and employment rates among migrant women are significantly lower compared to women at large in society (Larja & Sutela, 2015a, 2015bMartelin et al, 2020).…”

This research considers the role that participating in conscript service has for individuals with a migrant background in overcoming barriers to labour market integration. According to previous studies, these barriers include discrimination, previous qualifications not being recognised and a lack of language skills, networks and information. The study is based on 24 interviews conducted with individuals with a migrant background who have performed conscript service in Finland. The research takes place in the context of conscription and mandatory conscript service among male citizens. The findings indicate that conscript service may have some direct and indirect beneficial outcomes for labour market integration. Direct labour market outcomes are particularly related to qualifications acquired during service, which can be directly applied in the civilian labour market. Indirect outcomes are associated with acculturation, such as learning the language and becoming familiar with the host society’s culture and norms. Performing conscript service also facilitates the establishment of social networks, especially with native-born youngsters. Furthermore, conscript service is perceived to have the potential to elevate conscripts’ status in the eyes of potential Finnish employers. As a result, completing conscript service enhances location-specific human capital, and therefore, it can potentially improve labour market integration outcomes.

“…The authors admit that this solution is trade-off of theoretical and data endowment. For instance, Belegri-Roboli et.al [9] analysed the labour productivity and working time changes in Greece employment measured in hours worked. However, this approach (hours worked) and employment measured in full-time equivalent are not applicable to this case due to the lack of data at an appropriate level of disaggregation and length of time-series.…”

The paper examines export, productivity and impact on the economy. The aim of the research is to analyse and estimate the exiting relations between exports of goods and services and labour productivity using the principles of inputoutput analysis and econometric methods. Special attention is devoted to Latvia's economy; however, in order to perform international comparison and reveal the existence of regional or global trends the data on several member states of the European Union are used. The results of estimations argue that the higher the real labour productivity (per employee and per hour worked), the higher the export volume will be. The results also confirm that the higher the value added is in output, the higher the export ratio will be despite the fluctuations over time.

“…This powerful and robust methodology combines an inputoutput table with the energy consumption and pollution at a sectoral level. EEIOA is used to identify the environmental impact (direct and indirect) of different final demand patterns and emerge as an important tool of economic restructuring policy-making (Belegri-Roboli et al, 2011;Markaki et al, 2017Markaki et al, , 2013. Furthermore, EEIOA is the only macroeconomic methodology that can link the productive structure of an economic system with its implications to the environment.…”

The research aims to apply an integrated methodology for optimizing the productive structure of an economy with a view to sustainable development for the Greek economy. The main purpose of the research project is to constitute at the theoretical and applied level a model of synthesis of all economic, environmental, and social designs to optimize the results they create. The analytical approach at the sectoral level and the implementation of input-output analysis ensure effective planning to achieve an adequate level of development and effective response to modern environmental challenges. The objective of the restricted optimization model is to maximize the economy’s growth rate (economic pillar) under air emissions restrictions (environment pillar). The impact of the optimal structure on the workers’ skills and the demand for different occupations (pillar society) will be used to assess the results. The optimization model will be resolved using Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms, which are suitable for multimodal, non-curved, intensely nonlinear, with also nonlinear rather than convex limitations problems.
