| Title | EU funds and old-age employment in the new member states |
| Summary | Unemployment is one of the biggest concerns of the developed and developing economies. Some marginal groups like women, minorities, elderly people are more vulnerable to this issue as others. One possible way of dealing this problem might be government intervention. Governments might introduce better environments for companies to hire more employees or increase public expenditures in order to increase GDP, consumption and employment. In this paper I analyze the impact of EU transfers on old-age employment in the 10 new member countries which joined the EU in 2004 over the time period 2004 till 2014. Using different econometric techniques - OLS regressions - I show that these funds have statistically significant positive impact on old-age employed. This impact is positive for both males and females; however, it is larger for the males. These result show that in case of old-age employment, EU transfers are an effective way to increase employment. |
