The article contains analysis of labour mobility in Lodz urban administrative province over the period 1975-1980 with the period being treated as a certain closed stage in development of the province. The analysis was based on statistical data concerning the structure and dynamics of employment and components of labour mobility such as employment and dismissal from work. It is preceded by a short discussion of determinants of labour mobility with the main attention focussed on factors accounting for mobility of personnel. The performed analysis allowed to formulate several conclusions. First of all, there was observed a strong influence exerted on certain characteristic structural features of labour mobility by the situation in the regional labour market revealing a substantial deficit of labour. There were also discovered considerable deviations from the general trend in the case of some elements of labour mobility in the initial and final year of the examined period i.e. in 1975 and 1960. It allowed to formulate a hypothesis about the in fluence exerted by transformations in the socio-economic life on processes occuring in the sphere of employment. The analysis ends with a short description of changes which will affect labour management in Lodz administrative province in the eighties.
