Infolge der Veränderungen der politischen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen hat sich in der ostdeutschen Landwirtschaft ein erheblicher Strukturwandel vollzogen. Zwar ist die Zahl der landwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen infolge von Neugründungen, Teilungen und Auslagerungen von Tätigkeitsbereichen kontinuierlich gestiegen, die Zahl der Beschäftigten in der Landwirtschaft ist dagegen drastisch zurückgegangen. In Brandenburg, der Untersuchungsregion dieser Studie, verringerte sich beispielsweise die Zahl der Beschäftigten von 39.035 Arbeitskrafteinheiten (AK-Einheiten) auf 25.991 im Zeitraum von 1992 bis 1997. Dies entspricht einem Rückgang von 33,4 %. Statistische Erhebungen aus dem Jahr 1997 zeigen, daß 31% der ehemals in der Landwirtschaft Beschäftigten in den Vorruhestand entlassen wurden, etwa weitere 20% befanden sich in Fortbildungs-, Umschulungs- oder Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen (MELF, 1997). Vielen Beschäftigten, die zwischenzeitlich in Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen eingebunden waren, blieb nach dem Auslaufen dieser Projekte der Weg in die Arbeitslosigkeit nicht erspart (BALMANN et al., 1996). Etwa 40% der Bevölkerung Brandenburgs lebt in ländlichen Gebieten, und 4,1% aller Erwerbstätigen bietet die Landwirtschaft einen Arbeitsplatz, womit Brandenburg über dem Bundesdurchschnitt liegt. Bei einer Arbeitslosenquote von 20,2% (März 1998), gewinnt der Anteil in der Landwirtschaft beschäftigter Personen zusätzlich an Bedeutung. Vor diesem sozialen und demografischen Hintergrund ist die vorliegende Untersuchung einzuordnen. Es soll der Versuch unternommen werden, die Arbeitsmarktentwicklungen im Agrarbereich detaillierter zu beschreiben und ihre Bestimmungsgründe aufzuzeigen. Dazu ist es insbesondere notwendig, die Entwicklung des Arbeitskräftebestandes der landwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen in der Umstrukturierungsphase nach Rechts- und Betriebsformen differenziert zu betrachten. Das Papier gliedert sich in zwei Hauptabschnitte. In Abschnitt 2 erfolgt eine Beschreibung der internen Umstrukturierungsprozesse von insgesamt 75 Agrarbetrieben in Brandenburg zwischen 1990 und 1996. Dabei erfolgt eine Einschränkung auf juristische Personen, da diese infolge ihrer hohen Bedeutung im Hinblick auf die Zahl der Beschäftigten sowie die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Anpassung von besonderem Interesse sind. Abschnitt 3 untersucht, wie die vollzogene Entwicklung unter Effizienzgesichtspunkten zu beurteilen ist.
The aim of the work was to present the results of the analyses economic standing of the partnership companies which lease agricultural real estate from Agricultural Property Agency of State Treasury (APA) in 1996 and 1997. The analyses proved poor economic condition of the firms under investigation and especially their low level of stabilisation (the index of total debt was in 1996 equal to 0.88 and in 1997 to 0.96) and the low level of their solvency.
The study presents estimates and analyses of the social expenditure in Poland. Changes which occurred during the transformation period are a reflection of consciously launched political transformations as well as decisions taken as a result of current needs and political pressures. This has an impact on the volume and structure of expenditures which are under consolidation. The debate devoted to budget issues, which gets more intense every autumn, testifies to increasing problems with correcting guidelines for distribution of expenditures. Even slight changes stand for depriving a specified group of transfers, what in democratic conditions produces strong protests. A similar negative attitude to changes became evident with regard to taxation. Recommendations presented in 1998 by the Polish government [see Ministry of Finance, 1998a, 1998b] introduce substantial modifications to the current tax system (withdrawal from tax exemptions and introduction of a tax-free minimum income) and thus met with a massive reluctance of major political fractions. This study provides readers with information on the volume of public expenditures, the source of public revenue, that is taxes, and a thorough study on expenditures allocated to social goals. The analysis was carried out on the basis of own estimates, which employ data acquired from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy.
In centrally planned economies state subsidies were the main instrument of supporting the economic sector. Most of them had also social functions (e.g. through subsidising the consumption of households). In the period of transition, with the withdraw all of the state from economic decisions of the enterprises, new social problems appeared. The paper analyses the process of granting state support to economic units - its scope and forms - in the 90-ties.
This paper analyses the macroeconomic developments which have taken place in the Bulgarian economy in the period 1993-1997. The paper also looks at the institutional arrangements and the process of economic policy-making in the country. In this context the problems the Bulgarian economy has experienced in the transition process towards a market-oriented economy are also studied. The paper proceeds as follows: Section 2 looks at the institutional arrangements and the process of economic policy-making through 1995. Section 3 studies the deep economic crisis in 1996 and points out what went wrong in that period. Section 4 continues studying the economic crisis of the Bulgarian economy as well as the problems in the transition process during the first half of 1997. Section 5 looks at the economic developments during the second half of 1997 and points to the prospects for growth in 1998. Section 6 deals with the Bulgarian financial institutions and the existing institutional arrangements. Finally, Section 7 concludes the paper.
The paper describes three stages of the privatisation process in Bulgaria 1990-1997. In the first period (1990-1993) progress was very slow. Only after 1993 a significant privatisation started. Mainly retail shops, restaurants and small businesses of various kinds were sold. In 1996 a programme for mass-privatisation was launched which has led to a widespread share-ownership in Bulgaria.
All countries of Central and Eastern Europe had to bear and are still bearing tremendous costs of the economic and political transformation. This paper deals with the case of Bulgaria. We describe the social situation and the most important social security institutions in Bulgaria (unemployment benefits, the pension system and family support) over the period of the last seven years.
The submitted paper is discussing the role of labour in the restructuring process of agricultural enterprises as apart of the transition process towards a market economy. A concept for the measurement of lacks in efficiency is formulated on the background of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Furthermore first outcomes of a comparative survey of Brandenburg (Germany) and a region in Poland are presented by the use of the explained methods.
Industrial policy measures can be a reasonable supplement to economic and social policy actions during the period of transformation of centrally planned economies. This paper shows the interplay between industrial and social policy. Special attention is given to the timing and sequencing of the transformation process. This approach is closely modeled on the example of New Zealand.
