The new complex approach to the identification of priorities taking into account GDP, as well as other life quality aspects, identified the labour market, the healthcare system and the primary education as the biggest challenges of the Slovak economy. In 2016, 54 thousand of new job positions were created, the second most successful year in the Slovak history, and the unemployment rate dropped to lowest level since the end of 2008 (9 % in the fourth quarter 2016). Measures focusing particularly on the decrease in long-term unemployment rates should result in further decrease in unemployment. Therefore, job seeker profiling, personalised consulting and new active labour market policies (ALMP) will be introduced within the public employment services. Furthermore, expansion of childcare facilities for children up to three years of age and flexible employment of mothers

    European Scientific Journal February 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition vol.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 APPLIED RESEARCH OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SLOVAK CAPITAL DEMAND Maria Puskelova, Ing. Lubica Ondrasikova, Ing. Economics University, Slovakia Abstract Bratislava as the capital of Slovakia is very important knot in Slovak business or tourism. That is why transport infrastructure plays very important role. The increase role of green bicycle transportation and the demand for sustainable tourism require building corresponding infrastructure for urban cyclists, cycle commuters and cycle tourists. The priority of government should be to develop this industry. They should also generate pressure on private entrepreneurs operating public transportation to mind the safety of their clients. It is also related to innovation and improving the quality of services that they provide. Keywords: Tourism, transportation, disabled clients, cyclists, cycling Introduction Public transportation in developed country should be automatically supported by Municipal Corporation as well as by government. Each day it transfers thousand inhabitants and tourist. Everybody who uses public transport relies on it and expects it will be in good condition. Many tourists come to cities and towns without their own means of transport and have to rely on public transport services. These visitor are given first destination feeling through contact with railway or airport premises and then with public transport to be able to reach the chosen point. The public transportation network including cycle infrastructure in Slovakia is managed by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development, as well as by specific cities and towns where they are or through which they pass.

The measurements of weights, heights and body mass indices of the current adult population of Slovakia ranging from 26 to 94 years of age that were obtained in period 1993–2017 were compared with a sample of students studying at four Slovak universities during the same years (aged 18 to 25). The increase of mean heights was app. 0.104–0.203 cm per one year (or app. 1–2 cm per decade) for males and app. 0.031–0.178 cm per one year (or app.
