abstract: 'Main objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of foreign direct

  investments (FDI) on labour force in transition economies, through

  monitoring and quantification of selected labour force market

  indicators. This research analyses and discusses the effects of FDI

  inward flow on labour force indicators in transition economies from the

  economic and social point of view (i.e. quality of life of labour

  force). The paper argues that FDI inward flow should have a positive

  effect on labour force, through the increase of employment growth rate,

  wages, and reduction of income inequality. Data processing was done by

  applying Linear Mixed-Effects Models on 17 transition countries during

  the period 2000 - 2017. The findings show a positive and significant

  impact of FDI inward flow on employment rate and on wages and salaries,

  while the impact of FDI inward flow on income inequality is uncertain.

  Finally, there are policy and future research recommendations.'
