Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a series of annual reports investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for European Union. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulation and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 190 economies. Doing Business measures aspects of regulation affecting 11 areas of the life of a business. Ten of these areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in this year's ranking. Data in Doing Business 2018 are current as of June 1, 2017. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of business regulation have worked, where, and why.

Social profile of the European Union is based on different theoretical models of social policy of the EU member states. Empirical concept of social policy is conditioned by specific and numerous economic-social, societal, political, geographic, geopolitical, cultural, historical, demographic, ethnological and other factors. This brings differences in the level of realization of social goals and social rights of the Union citizens. This paper shall elaborate important economic-social indicators such are unemployment, poverty, social inequalities, health care, education, demographic tendencies, social housing and living standard, i.e. living conditions of the population of the European Union. Finally, we shall point to basic strategic goals of the development of social policy in the coming period. ; Socijalni profil Evropske unije zasniva se na različitim teorijskim modeli­ma socijalne politike zemalja članica Unije. Empirijski koncept socijalne politike uslovljen je specifičnim i brojnim ekonomsko-socijalnim, društvenim, političkim, geografskim, geopolitičkim, kulturnim, istorijskim, demografskim, etnološkim i drugim faktorima. Otuda i razlike u nivou ostvarivanja socijalnih ciljeva i socijalnih prava građana Unije. U ovom prilogu elaboriraćemo značajnije ekonomsko-socijalne indikatore kao što su nezaposlenost, siromaštvo, socijalne nejednakosti, zdravstvena zaštita, obrazovanje, demografske tendencije, socijalno stanovanje i životni standard, odn. uslove života stanovništva Evropske unije. I, na kraju, ukazaćemo na osnovne strateške ciljeve razvoja socijalne politike u narednom periodu.

This article explores a potential socialization effect of unions on member preferences in wage out- comes and bargaining structures.This challenges notions of union wage policies simply reflecting the material self-interest of their constituency. In their formative role, unions can either propagate more redistribution in society, that is, increasing equality, or increasing societal inequalities, arguing instead for equity. However, equity could be measured either individually or collectively, where the latter would mean increasing societal wage inequalities while favouring intra-union equality. By putting perspectives on worker preferences and political economic theories in dialogue with the literature on the role of unions in constructing notions of equality/equity, we discuss on union strat- egy as it relates to their socialization effects and members' attitudes towards income inequality and bargaining structures. Analysing survey data, we find that socioeconomic status has greater influence on preferred wage outcomes, while union membership has more influence over bargain- ing structure. ; publishedVersion

Doing Business 2016 presents the data for the labor market regulation indicators in an annex. The report does not present rankings of economies on labor market regulation indicators or include the topic in the aggregate distance to frontier score or ranking on the ease of doing business. This regional profile presents the Doing Business indicators for economies in European Union (EU). It also shows the regional average, the best performance globally for each indicator and data for the following comparator regions: East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), Europe and Central Asia (ECA), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Latin America and OECD High Income. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2015 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January–December 2014).
