Modelling of Unemployment Duration in the Czech Republic

Abstract

The paper examines the duration of unemployment in the Czech Republic in the three selected years (2008, 2010 and 2014). It is based on the Czech Statistical Office data collected from the Labour Force Sample Survey. Lognormal probability distribution (unimodal positively skewed heavy-tailed distribution) is used in the Accelerated Failure Time regression model including the following factor explanatory variables: years (three levels, 2008, 2010, 2014), gender (two levels), education (four levels), five-year age groups (nine levels) and municipality size (five levels). Apart from this parametric model, Turnbull's nonparametric estimator of the survival function is evaluated for subsamples defined by the year, gender and education. The effects of education and gender -a strong positive one of the former and less significant one of the latter, respectively -are quantified and assessed.

Different Generations in the Labor Market – Implications for the Workplace: The Case of the Czech Republic

“…The phenomenon of employment or unemployment is one of the central motives we encounter in analyzing or evaluating the performance of individual economies. The importance of this phenomenon confirms a number of comments in the media space, on the political scene or in the academic sphere, especially during the economic growth or conversely decrease, when employment and reciprocal unemployment reach border values (Cabla and Mala, 2017;Hedvicakova and Svobodova;. Despite the fact that the labor force development in these economies is subject to many analyzes and predictions, it is often only a percentage estimate of future developments, which is focused, due to frequent changes in the global economic field, only on shorter periods of time (months, units of years).…”

Gender unemployment in the Czech and Polish labour market

“…They are, however, little recognized in terms of gender unemployment risk. The unemployment issues typically concern the exit rates from unemployment (Jacob and Kleinert, 2014) or the unemployment duration (Verho, 2014, Čabla andMalá, 2017). Inequality is often investigated in terms of levels of development (Ferreira et al, 2015), income inequality (Corneo and Neher, 2013) and wage gaps (Liu, 2016).…”

Unemployment and Job Creation

“…Popis trhu práce v České republice je zpracován z různých hledisek, viz například Bílková (2015), Čabla, Malá (2017), Flek, Mysíková (2015), Formánek, Hušek (2017), Marjanović, Maksimović a Stanisić (2015), Večerník (2007), Zdeněk, Střeleček (2012). Nezaměstnanost je v Evropě ovlivňována rozličnými faktory, které jsou podrobně diskutovány Dimianem et al (2013).…”
