In the labour market theory, the natural rate of unemployment is associated with the unemployment level, for which the market for purchasing power maintains a state of equilibrium. Full employment has become a crucial issue in contemporary debate, whilst the unemployment is considered a social problem. The following article will introduce a model for calculating the natural rate of unemployment in Poland, as well as its comparison with the real observed rate of unemployment, or the unemployment computed according to the BAEL method in context of the NAIRU theory (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment). The article presents the results of an unemployment estimation based upon the main macroeconomic indicators for the Polish economy.
