The analysis performed by the author aims at determining the role played by employment functions in distribution of labour being subject to regional division of labour. It was assumed that: - social function of employment is subordinated to a long-range consumption pattern and is given preference in long-term plans, - rising employment functionis implemented ma inly in long-term plans, - income employment function is co-ordinated mainly by short-term plans. Such approach to the subject in question allowed to reveal a mechanism of creating employment structures on a regional scale according to the basic socio-economic sectors.
