Introductory presentation for internationall guests of CMKOS Congress 2018 about the Czech Republic its economic situation and the current work of CMKOS
This is a geographic profile for the Czech Republic. It gives a brief description on government, physical, economic, and human geography of the country.
The interpretation of archaeological surface survey data is not straightforward. The aim of this paper is to critically evaluate the interpretative potential of the surface survey record in terms, on the one hand of demography and settlement pattern, on the other hand of consumption and changing social patterns of commodities distribution and access, using the microregional ceramic dataset collected during fieldwork in the region of Thugga (Tunisian High Tell). By analyzing rural surface pottery assemblages among settlements pattern and topography, I will show the application of a spatial and quantitative approach to the survey record and discuss its potential and risks. At the macroregional scale, consumption patterns will be considered in a comparative perspective among urban and rural settlements as well as coastal sites and rural hinterland of the Roman Province Africa Proconsularis. The reconstruction of a geography consumption allows a ceramic view on the economic development of the Roman Province and on its integration in the inter-regional and long distance markets.
Towards an innovative and inclusive society Slovak Republic 2019 OECD economi...OECD, Economics Department
The document summarizes key points from the 2019 OECD Economic Survey of the Slovak Republic. It finds that the Slovak economy has experienced robust growth in recent years, with low public debt and a strong labor market. However, the economy relies heavily on car production and faces risks from automation. It recommends diversifying production, improving education and skills training, boosting innovation, facilitating skilled immigration, and strengthening public services. A second section notes high levels of social exclusion among the Roma population and calls for greater inclusion through early education programs, improved living conditions, and expanded health care access.

Promoting a stronger and more inclusive economy OECD Economic Survey Hungary ...OECD, Economics Department
The OECD Economic Survey of Hungary 2019 document discusses several key points:
1) The Hungarian economy is growing strongly but policies are needed to address risks to the recovery.
2) Greater economic inclusiveness would bolster growth as poverty and unemployment remain issues in some regions.
3) Population aging will significantly increase costs related to pensions and healthcare, which need to be addressed through reforms.
- Brexit could reduce UK GDP by between 2.7-7.7% by 2020 and up to 5.1% by 2030 according to OECD estimates, representing an economic cost of between £1500-5000 per household.
- The UK economy benefits substantially from EU membership and trade, with UK exports of goods and services to the EU representing over 10% of GDP. Leaving the EU could disrupt these trade and investment relationships.
- Immigration from the EU has increased in recent years and played an important role in UK employment and GDP growth, while EU immigrants contribute positively to public finances. Brexit could reduce these immigration flows with economic consequences.
Employment and labour market during and after covid 19 pandemicLatvijas Banka
The document discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on employment and labor markets in the Baltic countries, particularly Latvia. It finds that while the overall impact has been limited so far, it varies significantly by sector, occupation, and population group, with low-income workers being most affected. This could increase structural unemployment and inequality without government intervention. The document also notes that long-term labor market challenges like skill mismatches and high structural unemployment predated the pandemic and still need to be addressed through measures like improving education and healthcare, promoting lifelong learning, and activating groups with low employment.

Greece experienced strong economic growth until the global financial crisis in 2009, which pushed the country into recession. To receive international bailouts totaling $147 billion, Greece implemented austerity measures that reduced government spending and reformed its economy. While Greece began recovering in 2014, achieving budget balance and GDP growth, high unemployment and poverty rates remain challenges, as does the refugee crisis which has placed additional strain on Greece's struggling economy.
The OECD Economic Survey of the Slovak Republic finds that while the Slovak economy is performing well with robust growth and low public debt, benefits are not equitably shared. Regional inequalities are high, the Roma population is poorly integrated, and long-term unemployment remains an issue. Public sector efficiency is also low, with weak education and health care system outcomes. The Survey recommends structural reforms to improve public sector efficiency, increase teachers' salaries, boost tertiary education quality, expand lifelong learning, rationalize hospital care, increase primary health care efficiency, and expand long-term care supply.
Tourism Policy in Europe and Implications for Ireland, Tourism Policy Confere...Raymond Keaney
The document discusses the new political framework for tourism in Europe established by the European Union. Key points include:
- The Lisbon Treaty provided the legal basis for an EU tourism policy aimed at promoting competitiveness in the sector.
- In response, the EU established objectives around boosting competitiveness, promoting sustainable tourism, and maximizing financial support for the industry.
- Ireland is said to be "where Europe was pre-Lisbon" in terms of recognizing tourism, and the document argues Ireland should follow the EU's lead in prioritizing tourism through leadership, partnership, planning and strategic study.
The Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (ULIE) is Ukraine's largest business association, representing over 13,000 members that produce 80% of Ukraine's GDP. ULIE operates 28 regional offices in Ukraine and has a Representative Office in the EU in Brussels since 2015. ULIE's key priorities in the EU are to build trade and investment platforms between Ukrainian and European businesses, represent Ukrainian private sector interests to EU institutions, and promote Ukraine as a business partner and investment destination. Ukraine has free trade agreements with the EU and several other countries, and its economy is growing since implementing reforms following a recession in 2014 related to conflicts in eastern Ukraine.

The impact of pandemics on labour market in Latvia Latvijas Banka
The document discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latvia's labor market in three key points:
1) Overall, the impact has been limited so far, but it varies significantly by sector, occupation, and population group, with low-income workers most affected.
2) Without government support programs, unemployment would be almost double current rates.
3) Younger workers experienced more job losses, while employment in sectors like healthcare and education remained stable for older groups. Certain sectors like tourism saw sharp declines compared to increases in technology jobs.

- Kosovo aims to achieve steady annual economic growth of 7-8% through reforms focused on macroeconomic stability, infrastructure development, agriculture, and human capital.
- Kosovo offers competitive advantages for investors like low taxes between 0-10%, young workforce, privatization opportunities, and customs-free access to EU and US markets.
- The government identifies key sectors for investment as IT, mining, energy, food processing, wood processing, metals, textiles, tourism, and construction.
- Reforms are underway to improve the business climate by streamlining regulations and reducing the time and costs of starting a business.
The document discusses financing solutions for infrastructure projects in Central and Eastern Europe. It notes that there is significant potential for infrastructure investment in areas like transportation (railways, roads), healthcare (hospitals), and other priority projects identified by the EU totaling €225 billion. However, additional funding sources beyond traditional sources will be needed to meet this demand. The document proposes leveraging innovative financing mechanisms and institutions like the European Investment Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and public-private partnerships to diversify funding and expand infrastructure financing activities in the region.

Can we re-open the curtains on culture for a stronger COVID-19 recovery?OECD CFE
Cultural and creative sectors and industries are a significant source of jobs and income. They are a driver of innovation and creative skills, within cultural sectors and beyond. They also have significant social impacts, from supporting health and well-being, to promoting social inclusion and local social capital. As national and local governments reconsider growth models in the wake of COVID-19, cultural and creative sectors can be a tool for a resilient recovery if certain longer-term challenges in the sector are addressed. The report outlines international trends with new data, including at subnational scale. It addresses issues in cultural and creative sectors in terms of employment, business development, cultural participation and funding, both public and private. It provides analysis of how these sectors contribute to economic growth and inclusion, taking into account the impact of COVID-19 related crisis on jobs and firms. Finally, it offers recommendations on how to capitalise on the role of cultural and creative sectors in national and local recovery strategies.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
