Abstract [eng] Research aim: to evaluate the relationship between labour market regulations and foreign direct investment in the new European Union countries. Research tasks: 1) To overview empirical research on the relationship between labour market regulations and foreign direct investment, to highlight the key areas of evaluation, to summarize the results; 2) To group the new European Union countries into clusters according to two indicators of foreign direct investment: the amount of direct foreign investment and its annual flow; 3) To analyze labour market regulations and identify their relationship with foreign direct investment in the new European Union countries. Research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systemization, statistical data analysis, cluster analysis.
