European Commission recommends two ways of measuring structural funds employment effects: a bottom up and top-down approach. The first approach is to evaluate direct structural funds employment effects using monitoring data on projects, the second uses macroeconomic data and has more general results. We use top-down techniques, particularly LFS (in Poland BAEL) database. Using this data we measured changes in employment in different sectors in NACE classification. Finally, thanks to Vector Error Correction Model, we calculated general influence of structural funds on employment in Poland.
