- Title
IMPROVING EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC: BUILDING ON PAST REFORMS.
- Authors
Fuentes, Andrés
- Abstract
The article discusses the efforts to improve employment prospects in the Slovak Republic, Czechoslovakia. It is stated that the employment growth has accelerated but still many low-skilled workers are unemployed and the duration of unemployment spells is still long. It is observed that the introduction of an in-work benefit for workers in low-income households could lower hindrances to higher employment which result from a relatively high tax wedge on low-skilled workers. The housing policy reform is expected to lower long unemployment durations.
