Lucia Mýtna Kureková, CELSI research fellow, recently published an article "The automotive industry in Central Europe: A success?" on the IZA World of Labor website.

However, this developmental path is now reaching its limits with the exhaustion of the available skilled workforce, limited investments in upgrading and research, and persistent regional inequalities."
