Description
Peko, one of the remaining Slovenian footwear producers, has been facing severe problems for quite some time, resulting in decreased orders and increased indebtness.
So far, Peko has implemented several restructuring programmes sponsored by the state, which is now the main shareholder of the company. The programmes have had rather limited success. After failing to sell the company to a Croatian investor, a new restructuring programme has been launched. According to the programme, 50 out of 360 employees will lose jobs by the end of the year.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
