The 10 ex-communist states of the European Union were hit by massive unemployment.
I’m talking about these eight ex-communist countries: the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia.
At the beginning of the year 2007 Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU, and that brings us to al membership of 27 countries.
2 decades ago they shifted to a market economy, and there were a lot of people looking for jobs, but there were no jobs… and now they are extremely unemployed.
In the past 2 years, in some of that countries the rate of vacant jobs has more than doubled.
The domestic shortfall in skilled workers has been amplified due to the emigration to other EU member states (Britain and Ireland).
A few little solutions:
They must do something about the early retirement, their median retirement age is 57, eight years less than in Belgium.
There was also urged to increase the investment in education, and also in “in-service training” for workers, in order to help reduce the skill shortages which are needed the most!
They also must open their markets to foreign workers. They must find a balance between the labour market needs and the employing of migrant workers!
