The aim of the paper is the analysis of human resources in Poland and opportunities to expand its competitive advantages by limiting economic inequality, including social inequality. Among those competitive advantages may be included: – the level of education, in terms especially of the high proportion of young people with a higher education, which is higher in Poland than in the rest of the EU; – a high rate of growth in labour productivity from 2001 to 2007; Poland’s growth rate was higher than that of the US and Europe’s more developed countries, though it was lower than in the Czech Republic. The shortcomings of human resources in Poland include the small extent to which they are used and the attendant lack of an appropriate level of human resource management by the state – to such an extent that the country may be accused of wasting this resource. Much testifies to this wastefulness: The country’s having one of the lowest employment indexes in Europe, the deactivation of roughly 11 million people of productive age, the loss of approximately 4.2 million workplaces over the past 20 years, the specter of unemployment among individuals with a higher education, and emigration. To all that may be added the flawed education structure, scant interest in higher technical education. All these issues mean that the creation of at least a few million new workplaces will represent a serious macroeconomic problem, as growth in the employment index would have an indirect effect on efforts to limit socio-economic inequality.
