The paper presents the quantitative changes that have occurred in employment among the rural population of Opole Voivodship after Polish accession to the European Union - over the years 2006-2010. Determination of these changes was possible because in 2006 and in 2010 there had been conducted quantitative research on the same sample group and with usage of the same research method. The comparative analysis of results of the research proved that within four years both the number of people working permanently in Poland and working abroad have changed. The results also indicated significant differences in the trends of changes between the two groups of the population living in Opole Voivodship - among the autochthon population who have the Polish and German citizenship and among non-autochthonous population who have only Polish citizenship.

In view of the challenges faced by the Polish labour market and the growing role of foreign labour force, it seems to be necessary to verify the factors stimulating and hindering the use of foreign workers. This article aims to present the factors from the perspective of employers and employees. Establishment of incentives for employment and impede the use of foreign labour force is crucial in the perspective that may appear on the Polish labour market. Already is observed a lack of manpower in certain industries and occupations (e.g. construction, agriculture), which is related to one side of the international migration of native labour force, on the other by mismatch of skills of Polish workers to labor market needs. The article uses the results of studies conducted in the Opole Voivodeship among employers of foreigners and among foreign workers. Employers as barriers of employment of foreigners pointed formal and legal conditions. However, for foreigners the biggest hurdle was the lack of knowledge of Polish language. Among the demands of changes that may facilitate the use of foreign workers, employer pointed reduce of formality and foreigners have mentioned whiling away the time needed for obtaining visa.

Fighting unemployment in the EU has been and still is the most serious challenge to economic policy. Poland’s entry into the EU meant not only the opening of European labour markets to Poles, but also significant transformations that made our market more flexible and which have helped alleviate the effects of the global financial crisis. The new situation is a new challenge with regards to increasing productivity and the ability of the economy to create new jobs. Unfortunately, apart from the positive effects of the transformation, unfavorable phenomena have emerged including the too-frequent use of fi xed-term contracts by employers. This unfavorable phenomenon lessens an employer’s motivation to invest in an employee and to improve his or her qualifi cations and in the longer term worsens the socio-economic situation. The author of this article has attempted to assess the functioning of the labour market, taking into account the years 2012–2016. The choice of this particular period is directly related to the pace of the economic changes that took place at that time and the incubation of new, unidentified problems such as the following; the impact of EU funds on increasing the competitiveness of employers in the employment process and the phenomenon of the economic and financial recession, which at the turn of caused a signifi cant rise in unemployment and a decrease in employment.

Polish legislator has defined social employment as providing certain categories of people who are threatened or affected by social exclusion (e.g. unemployment, homeless or addicted) with some opportunities to either participate in workshops that are run in centres for social integration clubs or take up supported employment. Social employment understood in this way is to aim at social reintegration that leads to restoring and maintaining the skills to participate in the life of a particular local community, and to perform social roles in one's place of work and domicile. In addition, social employment is supposed to result in vocational reintegration that leads to restoring the abilities to provide work on the labour market. The legal institution in question is, therefore, linked to a new meaning of employment that goes beyond the Polish Labour Code provisions. As it has been agreed, work is not only a source of income but it also may help one's recovery of employability and self-confidence.

The goal of the paper is to present spatial diversity in the use of flexible forms of employment with special emphasis on part-time work among women and men aged 50+ in the European Union. Demographic changes, including the ageing of the EU population, show the necessity of rationally utilizing available labour resources. Because the level of occupational activity is declining with age, while the share of people aged 50+ in the population is growing, the possibility of doing part-time work that allows reconciliation between occupational life and non-occupational life seems important. This form of employment can also constitute an important transitional stage between occupational activity and retirement. The analyses presented in the paper are based on data from Eurostat and include the years between 2003 and 2017. The conducted studies show significant differences in the utilization of part-time work in EU countries especially when age and gender are taken into consideration.

Many universities in the Czech Republic lack students´ interest in the studies of natural science. That is why all the universities have to come up with an idea how to popularize these scientific fields to attract potential university applicants. One of the ways of achieving that is to create educational centres, which are able, thanks to these programmes, to approach students of primary and secondary schools and show them the natural sciences. The presented example of one particular educational centre (Bioskop Masaryk University, Brno, the Czech Republic) evaluates the success rate of their activities while using written questionnaire survey among the visitors of the programmes (students of primary and secondary schools as well as their pedagogues). The results have shown that thanks to these activities the centre created quality conditions for popularization of natural sciences. The results have also proven the centre´s ability to present natural sciences in an attractive and entertaining way to students of elementary and secondary schools. These students expressed their interest in the study of natural sciences and they would like to visit the centre again.

The presented article is an attempt to answer the question about the legal character of pastoral work of parish priests and parish assistants in the light of the polish law. Analysis of labour legislations, social insurance, current tax regulations and civil law leads to conclusion that priestly ministry cannot be classified as employment contract or any other form of employment. This sort of ministry can’t be listed in any known type of legal agreement. In such a case contractus innominatus (nameless contract) should be applied to the clerical ministry. Polish law permits the use of contractus innominatus. The content of such contracts, within the boarders determined by the absolutely obligatory norms, can be freely drawn up by the parties.

Purpose - The current HDI has a limited capacity to reflect the human condition and country rankings in an accurate way. In addition, the main critiques on the HDI suggest that it uses very few or perhaps the wrong indicators in measuring human development levels in countries. This paper aims to investigate whether the inclusion of employment as a criterion in the HDI would yield a different ranking of nations. Design/methodology/approach - In this study, estimates of the proposed Employment-adjusted Human Development Index (E-HDI) are provided for seventy-seven countries for the 2000-2007 period, and comparisons are made both for changes in the human development index (HDI) and rankings over time in each country and for differences between the E-HDI and the UNDP’s HDI across countries. Findings - The experience of a relatively large number of 77 sample countries has offered promising results for the path to improve the current status of the HDI, and hence, to overcome its weakness in terms of ranking of countries. The additional indicator, i.e. employment, improves the explanatory power of the HDI and makes significant contributions to its reliability. Research limitations/implications - The major limitation of the present study has been the lack of data for a number of the human development indicators for the rest of the countries in the world. Practical implications - The employment-adjusted index has great potential to make the HDI more operational. Social implications - By means of E-HDI, the human development performance of the countries can be better evaluated and compared with other countries by using additional information obtained from the employment position of their citizens. Originality/value - This will be the first paper in the literature that incorporates employment into the HDI..

Aim Caste studies conducted among Muslims in India generally focus on establishing the existence of caste system among Muslims but they seldom talk about different types of oppression and inequalities faced byMuslim women.This empirical study exploreshow gender and caste identities and their mutual intersectionality impact education,occupation and income choices and actual attainments of Muslim women. Methods This study is part of a larger study conducted among Muslims of Kashmir in India.Primary datawas collected from 704 eligible respondents (Male=392, Female=312) using mixed methods. Three layers of ‘caste like’ and ‘caste’ groups existing in the research area are identified and gender situation within these groups are comparatively examined. Results Each of the ‘caste like’ and ‘caste’ groupshas patriarchal caste capital.Higher professions within the government and private services are largely acquired by upper caste male Muslims or other male and female Muslims having rich cultural and social capital. There is preponderance of lower caste male Muslims in low income self-employment but lower caste Muslim females seldom find say in family based business and compelled to join low paid private jobs. More than fifty percent educated Muslim females are unemployed. Conclusion Although patriarchy is the general rule here, not all women face discrimination and inequality in the same way. Upper caste Muslim women often witness so called benevolent restriction of choices whereas lower caste women are the most excluded and marginalised section of the society who face double discrimination due to patriarchy and interwoven caste positions which severely impacts their educational as well as employment choices and attainments.

This paper attempts to identify the changes in employment structure and figures that take place in the Polish services sector due to new technologies. The analysis covers the sub-sector of Polish ICT-based services during the 2007-2010 period. The fast development of ICT entails significant changes in the employment structure. The number of people for whom a computer is the primary tool grows rapidly. The analysis has demonstrated that in the aspect of ICT development, Polish economy keeps lagging behind the developed economies of the European Union. The primary impact of the growing use of ICT applications in services has been an improvement in work quality and an enhanced share of highly qualified labour in the total employment figure.

After over 20 years of experience, there is a right to ask about the level of compliance of system's assumptions for the professional activation of disabled people resulting from the state social policy with real effects. In particular, there should be evaluated organizational solutions concerning sheltered employment. The study presents the effects of realization of sheltered employment by economic entities operating in a market economy. The analysis of the process of change in the functioning of protected employment system in the context of changes in the rules of its financing permits us to conclude, that for people managing supported employment enterprises more important are the economic effects of financial support in a competitive market than social aims, and the system is more favourable to the development of entrepreneurship in general than to solving social problems. At the same time, the analysis of employment at the level of provinces reveals the glaring disparities in the availability of people with disabilities for sheltered employment. This condition reinforces the conclusions on the need for radical changes in the rules of the sheltered employment functioning.

Artykuł stanowi próbę identyfikacji sposobów oddziaływania szarej strefy na funkcjonowanie sektora małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w Polsce, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kwestii związanych z zatrudnieniem. Podstawą do weryfikacji tez stanowią tu badania empiryczne o charakterze jakościowym. Pokazują one, że w odniesieniu do dóbr legalnych szara strefa lokuje się często w przedsiębiorstwach rejestrowanych, a rynek oficjalny i nieoficjalny łączą się ze sobą. Stąd warunki pracy i płacy w obu sektorach zbliżają się do siebie. W najmniejszym stopniu dotyczy to zajęć wymagających najniższych kwalifikacji.

Niniejsze opracowanie porusza problematykę konkurencyjności osób niepełnosprawnych na rynku pracy. Osoby niepełnosprawne, wskutek swoich ułomności psychofizycznych, bez odpowiedniego wsparcia finansowego i instytucjonalnego nie są w stanie skutecznie konkurować z osobami pełnosprawnymi na rynku pracy. Jak pokazują wyniki badań, sytuacja osób niepełnosprawnych na rynku pracy jest ciągle zdecydowanie gorsza niż osób pełnosprawnych i to pomimo udzielanej pomocy finansowej. W przypadku Polski finansowanie z Państwowego Funduszu Rehabilitacji Osób Niepełnosprawnych osobom niepełnosprawnym samozatrudnienia, pracodawcom zaś kosztów tworzenia stanowisk pracy i dofinansowania płac ciągle nie jest wystarczającym wsparciem, aby sytuacja osób niepełnosprawnych na rynku pracy uległa znaczącej poprawie.

This study raises issues of competitiveness of persons with disabilities on the labour market. People with disabilities due to their mental and physical handicaps without adequate financial and institutional support are not able to effectively compete with non-disabled people. Studies show the situation of people with disabilities in the labour market is still worse than the non-disabled in spite of the financial assistance provided.

The last economic crisis caused in Germany an employment decrease that could be observed mainly in the production sector, whereas the service sector experienced a slight employment increase. A more precise analysis of particular branches of this sector facilitated the formulation of the opinion that most jobs have been created in public services, especially in the areas of health protection, social welfare and education. That means in such areas, where the sensitivity for being affected by economic factors is the lowest. Women benefited the most from the employment increase in the mentioned branches, where their professional activity is traditionally high. Thanks to this advantageous situation it was possible to alleviate the strong tendencies of the employment decrease in the remaining sectors of the German economy, particularly in branches of industry involved in production of export goods.

In such an investigation, it is the effect that structural transitions of these countries' policies and economies have had on to the role of the labour share in building a national income that seems to be an essential element to explore. Therefore, the aim of the following article is determining the significance of the labour share contribution to the natural income for the period 1995- 2010 in membership countries of Visegrád Group, basing on the factors, which according to the contemporary world literature, affect this indicator.
