“…Verbunt and Guio (2019) confirmed that work intensity is very effective in explaining within-country differences in the risk of income poverty/material deprivation in some CEE countries (including Slovakia). In Slovakia, after the period of financial and economic crisis, unemployed persons living in households with a high and medium level of work intensity had markedly higher chances to move to employment, compared to the unemployed in households with low work intensity (Gerbery and Miklošovic, 2020). Fabrizi and Mussida (2020) found that living in a work-poor household is associated with living in consistent poverty (people at consistent poverty are those who are both at risk of poverty and simultaneously experiencing enforced deprivation).…”

Not only unemployment itself but also the reduced work intensity of a household has a major impact on the social exclusion of a person. The work intensity of households is currently being monitored in Europe mainly for purposes of identifying those people or households that are excluded from the labour market. The households’ work intensity directly affects the inclusion or exclusion from the labour market, which is one of the three social exclusion dimensions. Moreover, it also, as confirmed by several studies, fundamentally affects the other two dimensions of social exclusion, namely income poverty and material deprivation. The aim of the paper was to assess which factors in interaction with the economic activity status of a person significantly affect the household’s work intensity and, depending on these factors, to estimate the household’s work intensity. For this purpose, the general linear model and the associated analysis of marginal means and the contrast analysis were used. The analyses are based on a database EU-SILC 2020 for the Slovak Republic and performed in the SAS Enterprise Guide and by means of PROC GLM in the SAS programming language using CONTRAST and ESTIMATE statements. The article examines between which levels of significant factors there is a significant difference in terms of a household’s work intensity and in particular provides estimates of work intensity depending on the household type, educational attainment level and the age of a person. At the same time, in all three cases households are broken down by the economic activity status of the person. The presented analyses revealed categories of persons that are the most and the least threatened by labour market exclusion from the point of view of the considered factors.

In 2020 international and national economies have reached a milestone in their development. A new decade started with the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the world economy and affected higher education and the labour market interaction. A national model of higher education interaction with the labour market has been shaped under the influence of global trends and challenges of the past decades, e.g. globalisation, marketisation, internationalisation and Europeanisation. The COVID-19 pandemic caused new transformations and digitalisation. The present study explores Ukraine’s higher education interaction with the labour market in the past decade. The research focuses on analysing the trends in higher education and the labour market in the pre-pandemic time. This interdisciplinary research integrates findings and perspectives from analytical reports, statistic data, and original surveys conducted in 2015 and 2020. The current state of play in the national higher education interaction with the labour market is described as an imbalanced model. It resulted in a supply and demand mismatch, a high unemployment rate of higher education graduates, educational and labour migration increase, and entrants’ reduction due to the demographic and economic crisis. It is concluded that on the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine gradually lost modern factors of economic growth – human and intellectual capital. In turn, the Coronavirus crisis caused new challenges – remote working, an emergency transition of higher education to a digitally-based format and online distance learning. These trends will likely widen the gap between national higher education and the labour market.
