What measures would help to further a decrease in unemployment and encourage the creation of new jobs?

29-04-2011
Replying to the government‘s consultation we propose to not fake a fight against unemployment, but to take urgent steps – to improve the business environment, to create the preconditions for growth of the economy, to reduce the negative view of the entrepreneurship, and the mentality that is hostile to business, to lighten the procedures of forming and discontinuing a work agreement, to discard the protection of special groups, to increase the flexibility of regulation regarding the negotiation of the working time and to create more possibilities to negotiate the working time individually or at the company level, to reduce the unemployment benefits and other guarantees that are extended to the registered unemployed, to reduce the minimum wage. All of these measures are not „anti-crisis“ and are not aimed at only fighting the consequences of the existing unemployment or to temporary ease the situation in the labour market. The aim of all those measures is not only a reduction of unemployment, but also a sustainable long-term economic growth.
