Comparative Analysis of Unemployment in Austria,Greece and Serbia During the Crisis

The aim of the paper is to understand the impact of world financial crisis on unemployment rate. In spite of that, Austria＇s and Greece＇s unemployment trends have been analyzed and compared in periods before and during the present world financial crisis and their relation has been used in order to understand ways of employment improvement in Serbia. In the period of 1998-2006, unemployment rate in Greece was 2.5 times higher than in Austria. The highest range difference was in 1999--8.01%, while the lowest was in 2006--4.15%. During the period of the crisis, unemployment rate in Greece has been nearly six times higher than in Austria. The gap between these countries is getting wider over the years. At the beginning of the financial crisis, the difference between percentage of unemployed citizens in Austria and Greece was at the lowest level--3.86%. Then from 2008, unemployment rate in Greece has been increasing rapidly and finally exploded during the observed year. It has rapid growth that peaked 26% in September 2012, which is more than 2.5 times higher than the average unemployment rate in the EU. Youth unemployment also increased markedly in Greece, where 56.4% young adults looking for a job cannot find one. On the other side, Austria＇s labour market performs very well, which is reflected in one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU. In Serbia, situation is much worse than the mentioned countries above and it could not be concluded that it is just caused by the crisis. Unemployment in Serbia has deeper roots. Periods of wars, economic sanctions, and hyperinflation, as well as the transition process from the centrally planned to the market economy caused great number of jobs to be lost. Even though GDP （Gross Domestic Product） growth is expected in years to come, employment rate will not follow that trend and unemployment will remain serious problems for many countries in future.

希腊债务危机的腐败根源

目前,希腊外债总额高达4850亿美元,是GDP的1.6倍,人均负债4.4万欧元。表面上看,希腊债务危机的直接原因是长期存在财政赤字,国家入不敷出,拿着士兵的工资,过的却是国王的生活。但是,从深层次看,所有这些因素背后都存在腐败和政府治理不善问题。希腊前总理帕潘德里欧形容腐败是希腊问题的症结所在。英国《经济学家》杂志称,希腊国债是症状,腐败才是病因。大众腐败造成税收流失严重逃税是希腊全社会的普遍现象。根据希腊财政部的统计,全国90万人共拖欠税款近411亿欧元,占当前欧盟给希腊贷款援助总额的40%,其中5%的逃税者占总欠税额的85%,国有的希腊铁路公司以欠税12.6亿欧元名列榜首。
