Behavior on the labor market in Poland in analysis of behavioral economy

Abstract

The issues of the labor market in Poland in recent years have been the subject of interest of many researchers. The occurring changes necessitate the verification of previously used theories for its interpretation. The purpose of the article is an attempt to capture the problems of general interpretation of the labor market, which does not reflect the diversity of behaviors in its space resulting from the socioeconomic conditions of individual as well as individual preferences of labor market participants. To analyze the problem, the GUS statistics on the labor market and unemployment will be used, as well as the literature on the subject to understand the broader conditions on the labor market and behavioral factors. The analysis will allow to answer the question whether the general definition of today's labor market in Poland as an employee market refers to the entire labor market or only reflects certain trends of leading regions.
