“…The literature points to population migration having played a central role in livelihood strategies. Sika and Vidová (2017) conclude that there is a strong relationship between migration and housing in the Slovak Republic. According to them, most residents rather commute long distances to work and return instead of migrating.…”

Most migrants in Ghana have become vulnerable to key urban challenges, but differences in how they cope with these challenges are largely unexplored. The study analyzes the magnitude, differential vulnerability, and the coping strategies among three categories of internal migrants using a mixed method approach. A total of 310 migrants were selected using a snowball sampling method. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to summarize and explain the survey results whilst the responses from the qualitative data were thematically analyzed. The study outcome shows that over 70% of the internal migrants do not have secure employment, income, and shelter arrangement and over 84% do not take 3 meals a day. Further, migrants from northern Ghana were found to be the most financially insecure with a mean income of 255.6 Ghana cedis a month. Mean average number of meals taken was also 1.47 among the internal migrants from northern Ghana and this was the lowest. A survey outcome on coping strategies shows wide variation with most migrant having strong social capital and weak financial capital. Results of four hypotheses test to compare the statistical significance of differences in coping with accommodation, employment, income, and feeding challenges among the three groups of internal migrants showed that there is a significant relationship between region of origin and key urban challenges. The study also found that some of the reasons for the differential vulnerability to key urban challenges included level of formal education and length of stay in the study area. The study recommends effective institutional policy and strategy to address the differential challenges facing internal migrants in Ghana.

“…Respondents also drew attention to the prevalence of short-lived agreements: 'people currently negotiate rents and enter into agreements for shorter periods due to the uncertain times.' In turn, another one of the surveyed staff members of the real estate office noted that 'the tenants expect larger apartments with a little garden or a balcony,' which of course may in the future impact long-term changes in housing market preferences (not only in the rental housing market), accounting for the necessity to revise findings of research conducted hitherto (even the latest one) not only in terms of the real estate market in Krakow (Głuszak & Małkowska, 2017;Głuszak, 2018;Tomal, 2020b) but also in other parts of Poland (Źróbek-Różańska & Szulc, 2018;Tanaś, Trojanek, & Trojanek, 2019;Jancz & Trojanek, 2020) and around the world (Sika & Vidová, 2017;Soon & Tan, 2019;Opit, Witten & Kearns, 2019).…”

“…Nowadays, demographic processes taking place in many developed economies undermine the accuracy of the above assumptions. The studies where alternative assumptions about the paths of employment growth are considered include the works: Guerrini [10] [12], Biancia, Guerrini [4], Sinnathurai [22], Sika, Vidová [24] or Dykas, Misiak, Mentel [7].…”

The goal of this paper is to develop the neo-classical Solow growth model, in which, the authors repeal an assumption of a constant rate of growth of technological progress. Herein, the authors assume an alternative trajectory of an increase in scientific and technical knowledge A(t), and on that basis, they accept the following assumptions. First, the rate of growth of technological progress is not constant, but changes over time. Second, the path of the growth of the scientific and technological knowledge tends toward a certain level in the long term, which can be equated with the equivalent of the technological boundary. Such a modification of the assumptions regarding the technological progress rates, allows leading growth paths for both capital and product per unit of effective labor. Next, based on the solution of the presented growth model, the authors calibrated the parameters and carried out numerical simulations. Numerical simulations, conducted for the Polish economy in a 100-year horizon, allowed an inclusion of scenarios regarding both the rate of technological progress and investment rates. In the simulations, two variants of the annualized rates of technological progress were adopted (optimistic, g=1.7% and realistic, g=1.5%). The adopted levels of technological progress rates were used to determine the horizontal asymptote for the scientific and technological knowledge A(t) that will be shaped in accordance with geometric progress. In the considered variants the following investment rates were adopted: 15, 20 and 25%. This allowed determining the trajectories of labor productivity growth in the Polish economy taking into account different combinations of changes in the rates of technological progress and investment rates.
