“…In summary, the results presented in this article, the results of earlier studies (Kwiatkowski & Kucharski, 2009) and the results of studies carried out immediately after the transformation period in Poland (G ora & Schmidt, 1998) indicate that some features of the labour market in Poland remain constant. It follows from all the aforementioned studies that married women or women caring for children, and the leasteducated people encounter major difficulties in getting out of long-term unemployment.…”

“…Other studies also indicate that L.T.U. is mainly a problem for females (Kwiatkowski & Kucharski, 2009). Our analysis reveals that, in the case of women, leaving unemployment becomes difficult after approximately three years from the beginning of the unemployment period.…”

“…Also other earlier studies on worker flow indicators from the unemployment to employment in Poland show that their values are much lower in the case of L.T.U. people than in the case of short-term unemployed people (Kwiatkowski & Kucharski, 2009).…”

“…The obtained results are in conformity with the results of other previous surveys for Poland. In the article by Kwiatkowski and Kucharski (2009), on the basis of the structures of short-term unemployment and L.T.U. with respect to the duration of employment in the last workplace, it has been found that the number of years worked affects the duration of both of these states in a similar manner.…”

“…In the same article, the authors point out that it is the most difficult for the youngest (under 35 years) to get out of unemployment. It should be noted that the conclusions presented in the article by Kwiatkowski and Kucharski (2009) were based on the logistic regression model, and therefore they do not take into account the duration of L.T.U. for individual people.…”

In view of the ageing populations of Europe, an important current challenge for labour markets is to increase the professional activity of those social groups whose participation in the labour market is insufficient. This work focuses on people unemployed for 12 months or more. The main purpose of this study is designation of those social groups which have the greatest problems with getting out of long-term unemployment, and assessment of the consequences of long-term unemployment, depending on its duration, in the context of the ageing society. We have investigated this problem using the example of Poland, which suffers from particularly low fertility rates. In this study, data from the Labour Force Survey (L.F.S.) for Poland have been used to model the duration of long-term unemployment. In the analysis the accelerated failure time models (A.F.T.) in the Bayesian approach have been used. Our results show, among other things, that difficulties in getting out of long-term unemployment mainly affect women and people who have children or who looked after children directly before the start of their job search. This, in consequence, may deepen the problem of the decrease in labour supply caused by the ageing population.

Theoretical background: The origin of spatial variation in unemployment in Eastern Poland is related to the country’s system transformation, with regions that relied historically on state agricultural farms and industrial plants experiencing more challenging labour market conditions. The labour market is heterogeneous, and three approaches prevail regarding the origin, occurrence, and persistence of imbalance in the labour market: structural and institutional factors, long-term adaptation processes, and wage rigidity. While economic growth is a necessary condition for reducing unemployment, a rise in the economic growth rate does not necessarily lead to increased employment until a certain GDP growth threshold is exceeded. Purpose of the article: This study aims to conduct an empirical analysis of unemployment determinants in the Eastern region of Poland at the LAU-1 level. Research methods: The study is based on the analysis of the equation that was adopted from unemployment rate definition. Analysis of relation between unemployment rate, growth rate of labour supply and unemployment rate in previous period, using regression models, has been calibrated using government data from five provinces of Eastern Poland, covering the period from 2008 to 2019. Main findings: The results of the analysis show an improvement in the labour market situation during the analysed period, which is associated with the overall economic growth in Poland. The economic conditions favoured the improvement of employment indicators, corresponding to the increasing level of education in the population. The economy during the study period was characterized by stable GDP growth and decreasing unemployment rates. Similar trends were observed in the Eastern region of Poland, although the values of industrial production growth were slightly lower due to the local employment structure and regional industrial diversity. The analysis showed that a higher initial level of unemployment has a significant impact on its reduction in subsequent years. The significant impact of economic growth on reducing unemployment rates was also confirmed, especially in the category of people with lower vocational education. The study indicates the need for actions aimed at raising the level of education of people of working age, including through lifelong learning programs and active prevention of skill mismatch in the labour market. This study has limitations due to the number of analysed unemployment determinants and the limited time window of the study. Further research is necessary on the factors influencing unemployment at the regional and urban levels, taking into account the demographic structure of the population, employment quality, and gender-related aspects.

Employment Diversification as a Determinant of Economic Resilience and Sustainability in Provincial Cities

Differentiated response of selected economies to the global economic crisis caused by the collapse of the real estate market in the United States has drawn the attention of economists to the concept of economic resilience. At the same time, once again, it showed the importance of analysing and creating suitable conditions for sustainable development. Resilient economies are less exposed to the risk of economic crises or slowdowns, which is vital for ensuring stable incomes and high level of living standards. Therefore, the presented analysis was aimed at evaluating the level of economic resilience of provincial cities in Poland in relation to the situation on their labour markets. For this purposes, selected measures of the variation in the distribution feature (e.g., coefficient of variation) and the degree of structure diversification of the examined feature (Amemiya’s index) were used. Subsequently, using correlation analysis, the research determined whether any relationships could be observed between the investigated variables. The results of the research indicate that for provincial cities sub-regions in Poland, a statistically significant, moderate negative correlation could be observed between the degree of employment structure diversification in 2009 and the scale and scope of the collapse in the number of employed persons in subsequent years. This suggests that a high level of employment diversification restricted the level of economic resilience in this case.
