Annotation
Microsimulation modelling is a useful tool for evaluating potential changes in social, health, economic or education policy before they are implemented. The aim of the dissertation is to construct a microsimulation model for Slovakia and subsequent applications potential changes of individual policies. The topic of the dissertation will be the development of an educational microsimulation model to predict the mismatch between supply and demand within the teaching profession in regional education. The Ministry of Education itself declares that the number of teachers in vocational subjects such as mathematics, physics or chemistry is insufficient while their average age is disproportionately high.
