Under the development of globalization conditions one of the most important objective of the European Union is to maintain and create new jobs according to the constant growth of people migration. The Lithuanian labo ur market situation (as well as being in the European Union) depends on processes of innovation, globalization and free movement of persons. The rapid development of economic migration negatively affects Lithuanian labour market, which makes the country's labour force decreasing and getting older. According to the "brain drain", investments for young people education aren't efficient, and territorial disparity is one of the biggest problems of the labour market. The object of research is the EU labour market. The goal of the article is to assess the impact of globalization for the EU labour market. To achieve this goal, the following tasks have been implemented: the analysis of the theoretical aspects of the globalization and labour market; to identify the trends of the Lithuanian and European Union countries labour market; to analyse the globalization impact for labour market. In this article the following methods of analysis are used: a systemic analysis of the scientific literature, both the theoretical and practical claims matching methods, the analysis of statistica l data

Jankutė, N. (2016). Analysis of personal income inequality effect on economic growth in the European Union countries: Economic curriculum master's thesis. Advisor prof. dr. Zita Tamašauskienė. Šiauliai University, Department of Economics, 71 p. (87 p.). This master's thesis studies the effect of income inequality on economic growth. The purpose: after having discussed income inequality and economic growth related questions, to analyze theoretically the effect of personal income inequality on economic growth, and to analyse effect of income inequality in terms of economic growth of EU groups of countries with different economic development levels. The first part analyzes discussion issues of effect of income inequality on economic growth. After discussing the income inequality and economic growth concepts, measurement indicators and underlying factors, effect of income inequality on economic growth and main channels of the effect are theoretically analyzed, empirical research review of such effect is made. The second part contains the empirical research process and methodology. In the course of analysis, European Union member states are divided into high and lower development level groups according to 2000 - 2014 GDP per capita. In the analytical part income inequality is measured by the Gini index, income distribution in the first and tenth deciles and quintiles at ratio S80/S20. After discussing the dynamics of economic growth and income inequality indicators, by changing the income inequality measurement indicators, four test models in each group of countries are compiled. In order to assess the effect of income inequality on economic growth, these models are used to perform regression analysis in the identified groups of countries. The results showed that effect of personal income inequality on economic growth depends on the level of development of the countries and the income inequality indicator applied. It was found that in the high development level EU countries group, growth of Gini index, income distribution in the tenth decile and S80/S20 index has a positive effect on economic growth, while in the lower development level EU countries group, growth of income inequality has a negative impact on the countries' economic growth. In addition, it was found that the distribution of income in the first decile has no statistically significant effect on economic growth.

The research analysis the protection of ethnic minority rights in Lithuania. Ethnic minority rights are a part of human rights therefore the whole analysis is based precisely on human rights. The law implementation of national minorities in Lithuania is analyzed based on national and international law acts. This analysis shows that the protection and implementation of ethnic minority rights is a relevant legal issue, largely influenced by the law of the European Union. This issue is regulated by adopting national and international law acts, however, as long as the transposition of the legal acts into the national law is not without flaws, the human rights in the field of ethnic minority right protection will be vulnerable to an improper implementation. In research ethnic minority conception is discussed, analyzing its historic aspect. It's also analyzes the constitutional status of ethnic minorities in a democratic society with reference to principle of equality in compare with prohibition of discrimination. Research analyzes an international regulation in the field of ethnic minority right protection, specifically the establishment of ethnic minority rights in the European Union legislation and in the frameworks of the United Nations. And also an ordinary legislative regulation in the field of ethnic minority right protection is discussed.

This article discusses the concept of environmental compensation and provides the examples of environmental compensation practices in various European Union countries. The principle of environmental compensation is to avoid, minimize, restore or compensate the damage to the biodiversity due to human activities, however in practice it is almost impossible to achieve no net loss to the biodiversity. European Union has issued Directive that established the principles of environmental compensation already in 2004, however until now the practices of environmental compensation in European Union countries are very fragmented. The implementation of environmental compensation principles in urban development is constrained mainly by factors such as lack of space, and the complexity of environments that are affected. There is a lack of integrated approach towards the strategies how environmental compensation should be implemented in the planning of various projects that have impact upon biodiversity. Furthermore, there is a lack of holistic approach towards the nature in legislation and practices of environmental compensation, as usually focus of instruments is on specific parts of natural environment. Ideally, the principles of environmental compensation should be an integral part of national strategies of sustainable development.

The relevance of this paper becomes clearer when trying to answer the question: what is the policy of the EU in order to promote democratic processes in Belarus, and is it effective or not. The paper examines the contribution of Lithuania in this process, as one of the most concerned countries for stability in the region and the democratization of Belarus. The results of this work lead to conclusions that the European Union countries do not have a deeper consensus and common understanding on the policy and perspectives of the European Neighbourhood Policy and Eastern Partnership. The study found that Lithuanian policy towards Belarus is incoherent and is changing together with the policy makers. Lithuania acts in solidaration with the interests of the EU in policy towards Belarus, but it also reserves space for its own exclusive national interests.

The aim of this paper is to make a brief overview about the recent evolution of the environmental tax systems in the Baltic region. With this purpose in mind, the article contains a review of the environmental taxes used in eight Baltic countries (Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Sweden) during the period from 2002 till 2011. Environmental taxation evolution has taken different paths across European Union countries, underpinned by different environmental policy frameworks. Presently, the European Commission is stimulating the European Union Strategy 2020 to have a more secure and competitive green economy in Europe. The results of this paper show that the collection of environmental taxes differs among the Baltic countries. It is partly related to environmental policy of each Baltic country and partly due to environmental tax reforms, which have been implemented in Sweden, Denmark and Germany. It may also be due to more ambitious goals and purposes when it comes to reductions in energy use and to protect the nature of the world. In the article, attention is also paid to the problem of application of efficiency of economic instruments in the European Union. The authors discuss and compare environmental reflections in environmental policy of the European Union.
