ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF WORKING TIME FLEXIBILITY AND LABOUR LAW STATUS FLEXIBILITY ON THE
REDUCTION OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
Abstract:With the aim of analyzing the impact of employment in the observed flexible
forms of work on the unemployment rate in Austria, Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Slovenia,
the author systematically investigated and analyzed the impact of working time
flexibility and labour law status flexibility on the unemployment rate. The aim of this
paper is to investigate the connection between the unemployment rate and the proportion
of people surveyed in the sample who work in the following flexible forms of work:
work in shifts, evening work, night work, work on Saturdays, work on Sundays and
work from home. The research in the paper was conducted on the EU LFS official data
set obtained on the basis of the RPP 35/2020-LFS project approved by the European
Commission and Eurostat. The author analyzed a sample of 447,031 respondents in
the period from 2008 to 2018. In the research part of the work, a statistically significant
model of the linear association of the criterion variable of the unemployment
rate with the predictor variable SENSSH and a statistically significant model of the
nonlinear association of the criterion variable of the unemployment rate with the predictor
variable SENSSH will be generated for each observed EU country. Based on
an extensive analysis of data from selected EU member states, results were obtained
that indicate an evident reduction in the unemployment rate in 80% of the observed
countries through the introduction of flexible forms of employment.
