“…Biotechnology bears the potential for a long-lasting community development, with the opportunity of job creation. For a region with a disproportional high youth unemployment (Kolev & Saget, 2005). Exploring a high technology sector could give the possibility of highly paid occupations and reduce unemployment.…”

Background:Biotechnology is rapidly developing on a global scale. However, some evidence indicates that Eastern European (EE) countries are not fulfilling their potential in this field.Objectives:This paper aims to examine whether selected EE countries are able to develop a strong biotechnology industry. Potential investment approaches and the existing but not used or neglected infrastructures in EE countries were also examined.Methods/approach:In order to determine biotechnological activities in EE countries, indicators such as intellectual property protection, venture capital availability, published scientific publications as well as other indicators were analyzed. These indicators were compiled and compared between EE countries and regions with a rich and diverse biotechnological business sector.Results:The results suggest an underdeveloped biotechnology business sector in EE countries, with talented but unexploited scientists and unutilized infrastructure. The systematic drawbacks of EE countries lead to a hostile investment environment.Conclusions:The findings make a significant contribution to understanding how the biotechnology industry in EE countries is structured and how investments can be rationally placed. EE countries need to adapt their venture capital market for biotechnology ventures. Several changes in regulations could have a large impact on biotechnology investments.

“…Ruiz-Quintanilla and Claes (1996) indicated other factors determining underemployment among young adults such as education, occupational group, perception of the labour market, and organizational socialization practices. However, in the case of south-eastern European countries it was observed that higher educational attainment does not necessarily reduce the risk of being unemployed in the youngest cohorts, in contrast to adults, where higher education does reduce the risk of being unemployed (Kolev and Saget, 2005). The negative influence of minimum wages on employment rates among young people is significant as well, but differs across countries (Neumark and Washer, 2004).…”

Considering the most recent changes in the pension systems in Europe, this article aims to evaluate whether there is any relationship between the employment rates of older cohorts and the employment and unemployment rates in the youngest cohorts of a productive age. Its key finding is that there is no evidence that would indicate that the lower professional activity of older people is accompanied by higher employment and lower unemployment among young people. On the contrary, the study reveals that the higher the labour force participation among the elderly, the better the situation for young cohorts in the labour market. As demonstrated by the results of our empirical research, factors such as unfavourable demographics and the inefficiency of government policy aiming at stimulating the development of the labour market influence the prospects of young people entering this market.
