The paper analyses tendencies and perspectives of employment in Poland in the process of integration with the European Union. Employment forecasts are based on the model in which employment is dependent on GDP. The analysis shows a difficult labour market performance in Poland in the pre-accession period. The main thesis of the paper is the influence of Poland’s membership in the EU upon labour market performance in Poland depends much on time horizons. In the short run one can rather expect negative impact on labour market performance, but in the medium and longer run positive influences should predominate.
