The paper describes migration from Poland, its impact on the country labour supply and on the social security system in the sending country. It shows both advantages and disadvantages of migration. On one hand, there are remittances as a source of income for households and possibility to work abroad when unemployment in the source country is high. On the other hand, in the long run migration can possibly accelerate unfavourable ageing of workforce. Additionally, the authoress draws attention to still very low labour force participation rate of people over 55 in Poland (in comparison to other EU countries).

Submitted article deals with the problem of over-education. It offers a brief overview of existing explanations. It introduces a method of over-education measurement based on internationally used classifications ISCO and ISCED. The article brings also some evidence on over-education measured by this method. The analysis is focused on over-education of workers with a degree, which becomes especially interesting in the light of the tertiary education expansion. The question is, in what sense does over-education refer to the supply-demand relations on the labour market. International comparisons of over-education in European countries give some partial answers.

Responses from working women (N=10 619) from 24 European countries (ESS R2) were analysed in this paper. The list of analysed characteristics comprised: female labour supply (measured as number of weekly hours worked) and a list of its potential determinants such as income, education, present life circumstances (children living at home, unpaid help available) and family background (whether mother was working when subject was 14) as well as beliefs regarding equal work opportunities between men and women. Results indicate that e.g. actual female labour supply does not coincide in most countries with women´s expectations. In some countries women reported to work fewer hours than they would like and in other countries they affirmed they work more hours than they would prefer. The relationship between female labour supply and selected determinants was statistically confirmed.
