| Abstract | Zaposlenost je ključan segment svakog gospodarstva s velikim utjecajem na različite aspekte društva, politike i ekonomske aktivnosti, uključujući potrošnju, proizvodnju, inflaciju, socijalnu stabilnost, fiskalnu i monetarnu politiku, BDP te druge srodne faktore. Zaposleni u nekoj zemlji mogu biti samozaposleni ili zaposleni kod drugoga, a mogu obavljati radne aktivnosti u primarnom, sekundarnom, tercijarnom ili kvartarnom sektoru. Ovaj rad fokusira se na analizu zaposlenosti ovisno o razini ulaganja u istraživanje i razvoj (I&R) u zemljama europodručja, što označava geografsko područje koje obuhvaća države članice Europske unije (EU) koje su uvele euro kao svoju službenu valutu u različitim vremenskim razdobljima. Kriterij zaposlenosti i I&R igraju ključnu ulogu u istraživanju zaposlenosti u europodručju. I&R obuhvaća aktivnosti usmjerene na stvaranje i unaprjeđenje novih tehnologija, proizvoda i usluga. Njegov utjecaj proteže se na širok raspon ekonomskih aspekata države, kao i na svakodnevni život građana. Kroz I&R stvaraju se nova znanja, inovacije i tehnološki napreci koji mogu transformirati industrije, potaknuti gospodarski rast, poboljšati kvalitetu života građana i riješiti društvene probleme. I&R doprinosi povećanju produktivnosti, konkurentnosti, otvaranju novih radnih mjesta te poticanju inovacija i održivog razvoja. Sveukupno, I&R ima ključnu ulogu u oblikovanju budućnosti gospodarstva i društva kroz kontinuirano traženje novih spoznaja i primjenu novih ideja. Cilj ovog istraživanja je, uz upotrebu velikih podataka, analizirati zaposlenost u europodručju u kontekstu posljedice ulaganja u I&R. Analiza će, osim ukupnog, obuhvatiti i kategorizaciju ulaganja u I&R na temelju sektora (sektor poslovnih poduzeća, vladin sektor, sektor visokog obrazovanja) kako bi se proučio njihov utjecaj na ukupnu zaposlenost ili zaposlenost u aktivnostima koje su izravno povezane s I&R. Prioritet je razumjeti specifične doprinose svake navedene kategorije u pogledu stvaranja radnih mjesta i zapošljavanja. Ova analiza ima potencijal pružiti korisne uvide u razumijevanje čimbenika koji uvelike doprinose gospodarskom razvoju i općenitom blagostanju života u europodručju. |
| Abstract (english) | Employment is a crucial component of any economy with significant impacts on various aspects of society, politics, and economic activity, including consumption, production, inflation, social stability, fiscal and monetary policy, GDP, and other related factors. Individuals in a country can be self-employed or employed by others, and they can engage in work activities in the primary, secondary, tertiary, or quaternary sector. This study focuses on analyzing employment levels based on the level of investment in research and development (R&D) in euro area countries, which denotes the geographical area encompassing European Union (EU) member states that have adopted the euro as their official currency at different time periods. The criteria of employment and R&D play a crucial role in exploring employment dynamics in the euro area. R&D encompasses activities aimed at creating and advancing new technologies, products, and services. Its impact extends to a wide range of economic aspects of a country as well as the everyday lives of citizens. Through R&D, new knowledge, innovations, and technological advancements are generated, which can transform industries, stimulate economic growth, improve citizens' quality of life, and address societal issues. Research and development contribute to increased productivity, competitiveness, job creation, and the promotion of innovation and sustainable development. Overall, R&D plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of the economy and society through the continuous pursuit of new knowledge and the application of new ideas. The aim of this research is to analyze employment in the euro area, using big data, in the context of the impact of investment in research and development. The analysis will not only encompass the overall level of investment but also categorize R&D investments based on sectors (business sector, government sector, higher education sector) to examine their influence on overall employment or employment in activities directly related to research and development. The priority is to understand the specific contributions of each mentioned category in terms of job creation and employment. This analysis has the potential to provide valuable insights into understanding the factors that significantly contribute to economic development and the overall well-being of life in the euro area. |
