“…The difficulties among young people with integrating into the labor market are the reflection of skills mismatch and spatial mismatch (Berlingieri et al 2014 ), (Bal-Domańska and Sobczak 2018 ). The Pompei and Selezneva 2019 results show that after the outbreak of the crisis and in countries with high education mismatch, there is an additional reduction in unemployment risk for highly educated people.…”

The presented article follows the research mainstream of econometric analyses focused on the assessment of correlations between youth unemployment rate and market and macroeconomic determinants, including economic growth and productivity of the economy, its structure in terms of NACE Rev.2 sections as well as the labor market tools. The research addresses 28 European Union (EU) countries. The analysis period covers the years 2008–2018. The econometric methods dedicated to panel data were used. The research results confirm the importance of the general economic condition as well as the development of knowledge-based economy for the improvement of the youth situation in the labor market. With regard to the economy structure, the development of manufacturing section importance turned out to be a major factor in female youth unemployment rate reduction. The growing importance of the construction sector translated into a decline in the unemployment rate among young men.

In the recent years the professional situation of young people (aged 15–24) compared to that of older age groups (referred to as adults) has deteriorated. In 2020 the unemployment rate among young people in 23 European Union countries (in 19 countries in 2019, which was the last year before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic) was, compared to 2003, significantly higher than that of adults, showing a growing gap between the situation of these two groups of workers on the labour market. The aim of the paper is to assess the situation of young people on the EU labour markets. The analyses based on data obtained from Eurostat cover the years 2003–2020. For the purposes of the analyses, the concept of ‘labour market inclusiveness’ was introduced, understood as a feature of the economy in which access to jobs is similar for all groups of economically active people. The inclusiveness of the national labour markets in the EU has been defined from a static and long-term perspective. For the long-term approach, the method of statistical measurement of α inclusiveness was applied. The final result of the analysis is a typology of the EU labour markets developed on the basis of the proposed definitions, taking into account the level of inclusiveness and the availability of jobs for young people and adults. The research confirms that the national labour markets are considerably diversified. These differences are visible in terms of the unemployment of young people and adults, the reaction of markets to economic shocks and the level of labour market inclusiveness.

“…Thus, the cuts on social benefits and the rise of unemployment decreased families’ capacity to support further education and access to student loans ( Barakat et al, 2010 ). According to human capital theory, an individual invests in education if the expected future stream of benefits exceeds the total costs to acquire education ( Pompei & Selezneva, 2019 ), so, although education helps to escape inactivity, if confidence levels in the future are low, the likelihood of dropping out will be higher ( Brunello & Paola, 2014 ; De Witte et al, 2013 ). In spite of that, education is the central component of regional development and the key determinant to resilience in an economic crisis, so, to reduce inequalities and enhance spatial homogeneity between regions, it is important to increase educational attainment and maintain a relatively equal educational distribution ( Crescenzi et al, 2016 ; Giannakis & Bruggeman, 2017 ; OECD, 2015 ; Panori & Psycharis, 2019 ).…”

Trends of amenable deaths due to healthcare within the European Union countries. Exploring the association with the economic crisis and education

The study of premature deaths from causes that are generally preventable given the current availability of healthcare – called amenable deaths due to healthcare – provides information on the quality of services. However, they are not only impacted by healthcare characteristics: other factors are also likely to influence. Therefore, identifying the association between amenable deaths due to healthcare and health determinants, such as education, might be the key to preventing these deaths in the future. Still unclear however, is how this works and how amenable deaths due to healthcare are distributed and evolve within the European Union (EU) below the national level. We therefore studied the geographical and temporal patterns of amenable deaths due to healthcare in the 259 EU regions from 1999 to 2016, including the 2007–2008 financial crisis and the post-2008 economic downturn, and identified whether any association with education exists. A cross-sectional ecological study was carried out. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model, we estimated the average smoothed Standardized Mortality Ratios (sSMR). A regression model was also applied to measure the relative risks (RR) at 95% credible intervals for cause-specific mortality association with education. Results show that amenable deaths due to healthcare decreased globally. Nevertheless, the decrease is not the same across all regions, and inequalities within countries do persist, with lower mortality ratios seen in regions from Central European countries and higher mortality ratios in regions from Eastern European countries. Also, the evolution trend reveals that after the financial crisis, the number of these deaths increased in regions across almost all EU countries. Moreover, educational disparities in mortality emerged, and a statistical association was found between amenable deaths due to healthcare and early exit from education and training. These results confirm that identifying and understanding the background of regional differences may lead to a better understanding of the amenable deaths due to healthcare and allow for the application of more effective policies.
