This paper examines to which extent the school track choice in Poland between vocational and general education can be attributed to variation of personal characteristics and to which extent to variation of the local conditions. We assume that not only a family background, but also local characteristics are important determinants of school track decisions. As we make distinction between three different types of secondary schools: basic vocational, secondary vocational, and general secondary, and we want to examine the county specific characteristics we apply a multilevel method for multinomial logistics regression to address the issue. Our results indicate that both child’s characteristics such as sex and school performance and characteristics of household are related to school track decisions. We also found that there is statistically significant variation in school track choice on the county level. Local unemployment rate is statistically significant determinant of school track decision and it also explains a great variation between counties. This finding is important in the light of EU regional cohesion policy aiming at diminishing regional disparities.

The purpose of this article is to try to classify labour markets of the Silesian Province on the municipality level. The proposed solution of grouping labour markets is based on three criteria: the size of the labour market measured by a number of jobs, the weight of the labour market expressed with a proportion of the number of jobs to the size of the population and that scale of the impact that is a proportion of the commuters to the ones leaving for work. As a result of the assumed criteria the municipalities have been grouped according to their meaning on the labour market, at the same time identifying weaker and stronger labour markets. The first stage of the research was to divide the municipal labour markets according to the number of the employed. As a result territorial units were grouped into 4 classes (small, medium, big and huge) including in total 9 subclasses. Then the municipal labour markets were sorted according to their weight and the scale of their impact, verifying their position in this way. The research pointed out that a lot of labour markets in the Katowice conurbation showed lower levels than the assumptions. Consequently, it suggests polarization of the labour market of this urban unit that is mainly focused on Katowice and Gliwice. Higher parameters than the assumed ones were reached by several municipalities that are small or medium labour markets. In many cases these are municipalities where there are huge businesses connected with coal mining. A beneficial situation was noted in the southern part of the province that has a relatively steady situation on the labour market. The presented classification of labour markets can support the management process of local and regional development.

Zagadnienia rynku pracy i mieszkalnictwa stanowią ważką część problematyki nauk społecznych, jakkolwiek analiza przestrzennego zróżnicowania stanów rynków pracy i zasobów mieszkaniowych nie jest dominującą kwestią badawczą. Relacje między miejscem zamieszkania a miejscem pracy postrzegane są głównie przez pryzmat dojazdów do pracy, co nie wyczerpuje problematyki. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy i w jakim stopniu trwałość zróżnicowań stanów lokalnych rynków pracy zależy od struktury i dostępności zasobów mieszkaniowych. Warunkiem koniecznym migracji stałej z miejsc, w których pracy brakuje, do cechujących się wysokim popytem jest dostępność mieszkań oferujących akceptowalne warunki bytowe. Tymczasem utrzymujący się od dekad deficyt mieszkań i próby jego zmniejszenia niemal, wyłącznie w oparciu o mechanizmy rynkowe, wydają się dostępność tę istotnie ograniczać. W celu odpowiedzi na tak sformułowane problem skonstruowano model regresji przestrzennej, wykorzystujący dane pochodzące z systemu statystyki publicznej, zagregowane do poziomu powiatów. Wyniki wskazują na znaczącą rolę dostępności finansowej mieszkań, rozumianej jako zdolność nabywcza lokalu mieszkalnego w odniesieniu do wysokości wynagrodzeń w poszczególnych powiatach, w utrwalaniu zróżnicowań stanów lokalnych rynków pracy.

Labour market and housing problems are an important part of social studies, though spatial analysis of labour market diversification and housing resources are not the dominating subject of studies. The interaction between the place of residence and the place of work is treated in terms of commuting to work, but this aspect does not exhaust the issue. The article is an attempt to answer the question whether a relation exists between the structure of housing and its accessibility and the stable diversification of local labour markets. A necessary condition for permanent migration from a location that does not offer work to that characterised by labour demand, is the accessibility of housing offering acceptable living conditions. The decades‑lasting housing deficit and the efforts to improve the situation relying solely on market mechanisms seem to restrict housing accessibility considerably. To answer this question a model of spatial regressions was construed, based on statistical data aggregated at the district (county) level. The results indicate a considerable role of financial accessibility of housing, in terms of purchase capacity and remuneration in particular districts, in preserving the disparities among local labour markets.
