“…Although the situation has improved recently, youth unemployment rates remain high: 14.2% in the EU-28 and 15.8% in the euro area (Eurostat Statistics, 2019). Youth unemployment is also a significant social issue in Latvia (Grinevica & Kovalevs, 2015;OECD, 2015a;Pīgozne, 2014;Starineca & Voronchuk, 2015).

This paper presents some results of the research on ‘Adult education resources to reduce youth unemployment’, which is a part of the project ‘Implementation of the European agenda for adult learning’. The research applies a mixed-method approach (quantitative and qualitative data analysis). The purpose of the paper is to identify the most/least-efficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives to promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia as well as to show the relationship between the profile of young adults and their opinion on these methods, forms, and initiatives. The findings show that the young adults stressed the importance of cooperation with employers in organising educational activities, field trips as well as the necessity of having internships, projects, and meetings with entrepreneurs to learn from their experience. The most efficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives to promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia are as follows: internship in a company or institution, projects, other persons’ experience and success stories, and training enterprises. The least efficient ones are mentoring, business incubators, coaching, individual work/action plan for the young people, business clubs, and business start-up funds/grants. The opinion of young adults on all aspects of non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives depends on their profile (gender, education level, employment status, learning experience, etc.).

“…These are that many OECD countries encourage early retirement, although the effective retirement age tends to reach age 65 or older and that reforms can bring about low-income elderly people to a longer degree of poverty. This is influenced by demographic trends, employment, education, and socio-political and economic situation in the country examined by Choi et al (2001), Blake (2006), Barr and Diamond (2006), Starineca and Voronchuk (2015), Oganisjana et al (2015), Samašonok et al (2015), Pather (2015), Matetskaya (2015), Rezk et al (2015), Tvaronavičiené et al (2015).…”

The pension systems in European Union member states are very diverse, due to traditions how to provide retirement income, and to phases of the reform process. This system is also very important in the context of the social security of every individual or the society in which is settled. Since the system is influenced by changes in demographic fluctuations, living conditions, economic growth and so forth, it is very challenging for every European Union member state to keep the financial stability. To solve that problem, this paper aims to examine the financial stability of pension system in the European Union member states in the period 2003-2018. To obtain empirical results panel data analysis has been applied. The results showed that countries with higher old-age dependency ratio, life expectancy at age 65, replacement rate and poverty rate and public debt will also have higher pension expenditure, in average, while factors related to labour market negatively affects the pension spending.

“…Currently, it is the phenomenon of globalization and diversification, which is becoming dominant, and that to such extent that the majority of economic subjects take action in accordance with what is called "rational inattention" (see Sims 2006). At the same time, personal debt and economic freedom have become the key elements of every society (Rakauskienė 2014;Starineca, Voronchuk 2015;Šileika, Bekerytė 2013;Vasiliūnaitė 2014, Prakash 2013Tvaronavičienė, Grybaitė 2012;Dubauskas 2011Dubauskas , 2012Radović Marković 2011).…”

Due to the rise and rapid growth in e-commerce in recent years, the use of payment cards for online purchases has dramatically increased the credit and debit cards market. This situation has led to an explosion in payment card fraud and it is causing billions of euros and dollars in losses in the card payment industry.In addition to direct losses, the brand may be affected by fraud-induced decrease in consumer confidence. It is therefore important to know the opinion and consumer approach to security and payment card fraud. As a result of rising losses, financial institutions and card issuers are constantly searching for new technologies and innovations in payment card fraud detection and prevention.This article provides several views on personal safety and quality of security that banks devote to payment cards and payment systems and the related research was carried out in an electronic form by means of selective examination in Slovakia in 2015. The study group consisted of 287 respondents, of whom 164 were men and 123 were women. The respondents were categorised by their age, education and job.The study results can help the issuers of payment cards and banks as well as clients using payment cards, especially in order to increase the prevention of misusage of payment cards and fraud.
