В статье раскрывается актуальность применения когортного подхода к формированию информационно-аналитического обеспечения регионального развития. Предлагается строить аналитические показатели по когортам, объединённым временем образования и специфичными направлениями действий. Раскрываются основные направления и характеристики информационно-аналитического обеспечения регионального развития с позиции кагорного подхода (ИАО_КП), уточняются возможность исполнения условий для формирования регионального информационно-аналитического обеспечения., The article reveals the relevance of the cohort approach to the formation of information and analytical support for regional development. It is proposed to build analytical indicators for cohorts combined with the time of education and specific areas of action. The main directions and characteristics of information and analytical support for regional development from the position of the cahor approach (IAO_CP) are revealed, the possibility of fulfilling the conditions for the formation of regional information and analytical support is clarified., Экономика и предпринимательство, Выпуск 4 (153) 2023, Pages 354-356

In our analysis we applied the newly developed 'cohort approach' to the six Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) for the period 2010-2019 to shed light on the total extent and skill composition of net migration, differentiating between four educational levels: Low (primary or lower secondary education), Medium-general (upper secondary general education), Medium-VET (upper secondary vocational education and training), and High (tertiary education). Our results show that during the period analysed all six countries experience net emigration. However, in terms of magnitude and particular age pattern these movements differ across countries. Net migration is particularly prevalent among the young. A high youth unemployment rate, family reunification and education abroad are key drivers behind this pattern. A further breakdown of net migration by highest level of education shows that net emigration in the region occurs mainly among the medium- and low-educated, particularly among those in their early to mid-20s and early 30s. There is evidence of brain drain in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. In Albania, net emigration of the highly educated is substantial and accounts for almost 40% of the total estimated cumulative outflow. Brain drain in Albania and Kosovo is highest among recent university graduates. Importantly, and contrary to widespread perception, there is evidence of brain gain in some Western Balkan countries, namely in Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. The key drivers of this are students, who return in large numbers to their home countries after graduating from tertiary education abroad. In Serbia and Montenegro immigration of highly skilled workers is also important in this context.

Using Italian Household Budget Survey data for the period 1997-2013, this paper estimates the life cycle profiles of consumption and cross-sectional variance in the Great Recession. The study examines age profiles for total and durable expenditure, and four subcomponents of non-durable expenditure. We document significant heterogeneity in the way the recession affects consumption and the variance within-cohorts. The crisis has entailed a fall in expenditure for the youngest cohorts, and a notable reduction of inequalities for the middle and oldest cohorts with some differences between high and low income elastic expenditure. We also found that socio-demographic factors account for a substantial heterogeneity in consumption behaviour during the recession across households and expenditure subcomponents.

In a recently changing Polish academic environment – following the large-scale higher education reforms of 2009–2012 – different academic generations have to cope with different challenges. Polish academics have been strongly divided generationally, not only in terms of what they think and how they work but also in terms of what is academically expected from them following the reforms. This article explores intra-national cross-generational differences based on a combination of quantitative (surveys, N = 3704) and qualitative (interviews, N = 60) primary empirical evidence used according to the mixed-methods approach methodology and its ‘sequential’ research design. This article explores the major dimensions of the intergenerational divide between younger and older academic generations (and how they are related to both post-1989 developments and recent reforms). It shows the power of research at a micro-level of individuals, complementing the traditional research at aggregated institutional and national levels. Implications for Central European systems are shown.

The aim of the study is to analyse the relationship between recession, population structure and consumption behaviour over the life cycle. To this aim, we consider three clusters of non-durable expenditures such as food at home, work-related and core expenditures. The analysis has been performed on micro data on the Household Budgets for the period 1997-2013. Based on life cycle theory, two statistical models has been estimated, viz. a pre-crisis (1997-2007) and a great recession period (2008-2013) model. The study shows that the recession has entailed a reduction of the average expenditure for each category of consumption, and the intensity of the reduction is different among households and generations.

This paper correlates childlessness in Ontario and Quebec provinces Canada with several socioeconomic factors comparing data from the Public Use Sample Tapes of Statistics Canada 1971 and 1981. The descriptors age at marriage marriage duration income labor force participation religion education language and rural or urban residence were analyzed by logistic regression and multivariate analysis of parity as a dichotomous dependent variable. General fertility trends have declined rapidly: from 4.0 in 1957 to 1.5 in 1982 in Ontario and from 3.7 to 1.7 in Quebec. The proportion of childless couples at a given duration of marriage had risen substantially. The proportion of women working increased dramatically from 33 to 57% in Quebec and from 45 to 68% in Ontario. Childless women tended to have married later especially significant for older cohorts. For younger cohorts duration of marriage affected childlessness. Education had different effects for various ages in the 2 provinces. High personal income increased likelihood of childlessness; especially so for younger women. Childless women tended to be urban and Protestant or non-religious native-born rather than ethnic and English-speaking rather than Francophone. Besides these factors the rising incidence of divorce later marriage and intentionally remaining single may contribute to the overall rising frequency of childlessness in Canada.
