“…This so-called 'mixed' system comprises characteristics of both liberal and conservative-corporatist regimes with significant legacies from the socialist period (Aidukaite, 2011;Haggard and Kaufman, 2008;Szikra and Tomka, 2009). In social policy, the four countries inherited a shared commitment to social insurance with high social security absorption capacity, but relatively low benefit levels (Aidukaite et al, 2021;Banaszewska and Pilc, 2020).…”

“…Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia differ from their European counterparts in the regulatory set-up of their unemployment benefit schemes, including the relatively low level, strict eligibility criteria and shorter duration of support (Banaszewska and Pilc, 2020). All four countries were severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, as their heavy specialisation in highly globalised sectors and the severe public-health effects of the second wave of the pandemic had a significant impact on employment.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic and technological adjustment increased the risk of unemployment, underemployment and skills mismatch across Europe. These increased risks highlighted the importance of national unemployment benefit schemes for income security. This article examines the role of industrial relations in shaping unemployment benefit regimes in the Visegrad countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We adopted an actor-oriented approach based on desk research and 12 semi-structured interviews with the representatives of trade unions and employers in all the Visegrad countries. Our research showed that the capacities of the trade unions and employers' associations to shape the unemployment benefit regimes were rather limited. State control over social policy remained very strong and shaped the dynamics of industrial relations, without inclusive involvement of social partners. National governments sought to implement measures to protect employment (mainly wage subsidies), rather than to reform existing unemployment support regimes.

“…Due to the rather rapid transition to an aging society, the very idea of the social exclusion of the elderly from social and economic processes is controversial today not only in Russian, but also in foreign science [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly obvious that with retirement, only a person's income is significantly reduced, the rest of his resources can, at least, remain unchanged.…”

Russia, like a number of other countries, is experiencing a process of population aging, which is leading to an increased role in the employment of the older generation, while at the same time, employers have a negative perception of their labor potential. The article is devoted to substantiating the hypothesis that employment of older people is an important factor in demographic development. The object of the study is North Ossetia as a typical region of Russia with a worsening demographic situation and tension in the labor market. The work used methods of statistical and graphical analysis, the "resume test" method. The problem of discrimination in hiring workers of pre-retirement age. It has been shown that limited opportunities in the labor market for the older generation lead to a decrease in the level and quality of life, and degradation of human potential. Conclusions are drawn about a decrease in the efficiency of the regional labor market in terms of employment of the elderly. Recommendations are offered to regional bodies of state regulation of the economy on the institutional prevention of the practice of age discrimination among employees; development of flexible part-time employment models; organization of continuous professional training and advanced training.
