“…Strikingly enough, this is overlooked by the related empirical research, especially since evidence from the Great Recession shows the potential connections existing between unemployment and employment protection. Evidence, for example, shows that the unemployment rate in Germany during the Great Recession was held at lower levels compared to the rest of European economies, but the overall performance of the German labor market was enhanced by (prior) reforms that aimed to stimulate job search, self-employment and deregulate the job market (Ter Weel 2015 ; Weber 2015 ; Pissarides 2013 ). In this sense, Germany’s prior reforms helped mitigate the adverse unemployment effects of the recession, while countries like Greece and Spain trying to implement fiscal and labor market reforms at the same time were caught in a phase characterized by both a sharp decline in aggregate demand and rigid labor institutions, eventually leading to more unemployment (Pissarides 2013 ).…”

“…Different countries encountered different challenges in boosting business and economic activity, in addition to lowering unemployment. As already noted, the adverse effects of the crisis hit differently in countries that were implementing labor market reforms during the crisis and alongside other fiscal reforms, and differently in countries with an already more flexible labor legislation and better aggregate conditions (see Ter Weel 2015 ; Weber 2015 ; Pissarides 2013 ).…”

This research aims to investigate the role of employment protection in affecting the relationship between regional self-employment and unemployment during turbulent times. In doing so, data comprised of 230 regions, nested in 17 EU countries, for the 2008–2015 period were used. When accounting for individual effects, we find that an increase in regional unemployment would decrease regional self-employment, while the opposite was found true for employment protection. When accounting for the cross-level interaction between regional unemployment and national employment protection legislation, however, we find that the underlying increased labor market rigidity not only decreases regional self-employment, but it also magnifies the adverse effect of regional unemployment. Our key results thus indicate that high labor market rigidity hinders self-employment.

“…Antara faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada pengangguran ialah ketidakseimbangan ekonomi yang dapat dikaitkan dengan kemelesetan ekonomi. TerWeel (2015) telah mengkaji corak pengangguran yang disebabkan oleh The Great Recession (2008Recession ( -2009 dengan menggunakan panel unjuran OECD. Kajian beliau memperlihatkan bahawa pekerja yang telah bekerja selama lebih satu tahun mempunyai tempoh pengangguran yang lebih lama.…”

Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tempoh masa yang diambil oleh seseorang untuk bekerja dalam sektor awam. Secara spesifiknya, kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengkaji perbezaan antara mereka yang mempunyai tingkat pendidikan minimum yang diperlukan oleh sesuatu pekerjaan dengan mereka yang mempunyai tingkat pendidikan yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan tingkat minimum yang diperlukan oleh pekerjaan dalam sektor awam tersebut. Kajian menggunakan data yang dikumpulkan daripada 501 sampel kakitangan sektor awam di Malaysia merangkumi sektor ekonomi, sosial, pentadbiran awam, keselamatan dan sektor infrastuktur pada tahun 2015. Dengan menggunakan regresi, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pekerja yang berpendidikan lebih tinggi mengambil masa yang lebih lama sebelum memilih untuk bekerja dalam sektor awam berbanding dengan pekerja yang mempunyai kelayakan minimum. Selain itu, pekerja lelaki mengambil tempoh masa yang lebih lama untuk memasuki sektor awam dan ini menunjukkan bahawa lelaki bersifat lebih selektif dalam memilih pekerjaan dalam sektor awam. Ketakpadanan pekerjaan berkemungkinan akan menyebabkan tahap motivasi pekerja menurun kerana menerima tingkat upah lebih rendah daripada sepatutnya. Ini boleh menjejaskan tingkat produktiviti sesebuah firma seterusnya memberikan kesan yang lebih besar kepada rantaian ekonomi negara dan masalah pengangguran geseran.
