Belize Retirement
Belize
The Constitution forbids exile, and it was not used. e. Denial of Fair Public Trial The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respected this provision in practice. In the past, judicial independence had possibly been compromised because some foreign judges had to negotiate renewal of their contracts with the Government, but judges now hold lifetime appointments (until the mandatory retirement age of 65). Only one of the four justices sitting on the Supreme Court was a citizen. There were 17 magistrates with 2 vacant positions; only 3 of the magistrates had a legal background. Every magistrate was a citizen. Most judges were members of the civil service and were routinely transferred between court and administrative postings. The few judges who were trained in law spend most of their career as a magistrate, but the majority were transferred on and off the bench. In May the ... [Read More]

Austria
Compared to other EU countries, Austria had a relatively low unemployment rate of 4.5% in 2004, according to EU statistics. The outlook for 2005 suggests an unemployment rate of about 4.4%, assuming real economic growth of 2.2%, falling only slightly to 4.2-4.3%% in 2006, assuming real growth of 2.3-2.4% that year. Despite the low unemployment rate, no potential labor market shortage is expected in the medium term. While demographic trends indicate little growth in the labor force over the next few years, other factors, such as expected moderate economic growth, productivity gains, industrial restructuring, federal employment incentives for women and older employees, the gradual phase-out of early retirement, and government efforts to reduce civil service employment are intended to offset demographics. Moreover, net gains from migration will easily compensate the negative impact of low birth rates on the overall labor supply. Latest long-term population forecasts expect the working age ...
