Active labour market policies are still one of the major tools to fight unemployment and improve functioning of the labour market. However, growing scepticism regarding the effects of active policies and very different evaluation findings are the main reason of growing interest in developing the evalution methods of these policies. The paper outlines the key theoretical issues concerning ALMP evaluation and also intends to explain the need of evaluation of these measures, especially in countries which have just joined European Union, for example Poland. The first part describes evaluation purposes nad briefly characterizes differences between various types of evaluation. The second part covers the methodological aspects of ALMP microevalutions, defines the fundamental evaluation problem and reviews some quasiexperimental methods, commonly used in the EU -15, like before-after designs, matching and parametric regression, and conditional difference in differences estimation, uderlying their strenths and weaknesses.The last part of the article presents some problems of ALMP evaluation in Poland. The paper concludes that the main barriers of implementing evaluation system in Poland are: the lack of funds to conduct systematic evaluations, bad procedures and poorly developed information systems used by public employment services, low quality or the lack of proper statistical data needed for evaluations, and insufficient qualifications of PES’ employees to control and evaluate the effects of ALMP.

There are many ways leading to the improvement of the situation on labour market and to increase of the effectiveness of labour market policy (LMP). There is no one model country which solutions in the field of LMP can be recommended as a success formula. The ways of each countries leading to the employment increase are connected with the tradition and history of industrial relations in the given economic model. These ways can be classified as follow: 1. correct evaluation of labour market programmes, 2. profiling, targeting, 3. prevention of giving too many aims to the one programme, 4. introducing new motivation systems in public employment services and the competition between them (job brokering, activation measures). The article pays special attention to the benefits connected with profiling. This term is used in this paper to cover the approach of the early identification of individuals at risk of long-term unemployment and the referral to various active labour market programmes. The experience of the countries appying the profiling procedures suggest that detailed profiling information is very helpful for the allocation of recources and an important help in deciding about adequate and customised intervention.

The author analyses employers’ opinions about selected issues of the labour market and unemployment collected during the questionnaire survey (93 question addressed to 1054 respondents). The survey allowed the author to formulate several very important conclusions including those negating theses advanced by the so-called „neutral analysts of the labour market”.
