“…Secondly, if poviats exhibited the highest level of unemployment, employees' skills and expectations did not necessarily match employers' needs. This was confirmed by multiple requests submitted by zone investors to amend the permit to operate in a SEZ motivated by difficulties in finding adequate employees (salaries are also an issue: foreign investors seeking cheap labour were unwilling to increase the cost of employment, Jasiniak & Keller, 2016). This results in the displacement of the local labour force by workers from neighbouring regions, which does little to improve a local labour market.…”

Studies conducted so far suggest that SEZs are not treated by local authorities as the main mechanism of job creation in a given region. The objective of this paper is to highlight potential mechanisms through which SEZs impact labour markets in poviats (counties) in Poland. To this end we conducted a comparative analysis of changes that had taken place in the labour market over the period 2004–2016 in two groups of poviats with the highest unemployment rate reported in 2004: with and without SEZs. The study does not allow us to unambiguously conclude that SEZs contributed to the improvement of labour market situation in poviats with the highest unemployment rate in Poland. That can be attributed to the fact that SEZs in Poland are highly fragmented as well as to SEZs investors being able to select locations for their investment projects in relatively better developed regions.

“…Ślusarczyk [62] also raises the problem of government assistance used to entice foreign direct investment to SEZ. According to [63], the zones' favorable effects on the growth of entrepreneurship were broken down into counties. Attention to an improvement in the efficiency of resource management in the territory of the zones as well as an increase in the competitiveness of the regions is analyzed by [64][65][66].…”

Launched by the Region of Campania in 2017, the special economic zone (SEZ) in Campania is being developed as a consequence of the various interventions supported by the Recovery Plan of the Italian government. Economic, fiscal, and regulatory measures are promoted in foreign nations (China, Africa, India, Europe, South-East Asia, etc.), and cur-rently in Italy, for the development of firms and the industrial sector in SEZ. Investment and consumption of production processes can lead to a polluted environment that impacts the lo-cal population and does not achieve the goal of sustainable development. This study proposes an analysis of all Campania SEZ and the introduction of a set of indicators to be used in Campanian SEZ to implement a circular economy business model across different areas (coastal, inner land, and intermediate areas) and to understand how these circular economy principles can interact with the current ecological transition for process decarbonization. This study’s methodology is based on a cross-qualitative investigation of indicators that link the sustainability of manufacturing and economic processes to environmental transformation. While foreign SEZs are rapidly increasing, Italian SEZs, notably in Campania, are still in their early stages. In this regard, the objective of this paper is to reinforce the topic of sustainability for the Campanian SEZ to support decision-making processes, as well as to provide further reflection on the development of Campanian SEZ in Italy through the lens of the ecological transition, and in line with foreign SEZs, to understand how decarbonization measures can be applied for a circular economy of production.

“…AlsoŚlusarczyk [36], in her studies, refers to the issue of the public aid used to attract foreign direct investment to SEZs. Jasiniak and Keller indicated the beneficial impact of the zones on the development of entrepreneurship broken by poviats (counties) [37]. Szymańska and Wajer pay attention to an increase in competitiveness of the regions and an improvement in the effectiveness of resource management in the area of the zones [38][39][40].…”

Special economic zones (SEZs) differ in terms of the scope and principles of functioning, they have the same objective: to attract investments and create jobs and simultaneously generate benefits for municipalities and their residents. However, in order to make the activity of SEZs and their further development possible and acceptable, activities undertaken in these areas should be consistent with the concept of sustainable development. Therefore, in addition to the leading economic benefits in the development of municipalities social and environmental ones should also be expected. The activity of the entities investing in SEZs certainly arouses some doubts as to their involvement in the search for balance between three pillars of sustainable development. The objective of the research was to assess the concept of special economic zones taking into account measurable economic, social and environmental criteria accompanying the idea of sustainable development. The research included the analysis of selected results of the activity of Polish municipalities. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) applied to independent groups indicated that the municipalities functioning in the area of SEZs differ in a positive way from other municipalities in terms of the analyzed scope.
