The aim of this study is to characterise labour demand in the Lubelskie region and some of its determinants. The first part briefly discusses the theoretical aspects of labour-demand, including its measurement methods and main determinants. The second part offers a statistical analysis of labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship against national trends. It proves that labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship demonstrates slower growth and a less growth-favourable structure, and that the chances to find work there are smaller than in the country as a whole. However, an analysis of the main determinants of labour demand conducted in the next part of the study suggests that lower labour-demand growth in comparison to the country as a whole can be more attributable to factors related to the product-market situation rather than excessive increase in wages. It was also indicated that an important reason for such disproportions might lie in the relatively high significance of rural areas and agriculture, and also in the weaker position of the region’s business sector compared to the country as a whole.

Celem opracowania jest dokonanie charakterystyki popytu na pracę w regionie lubelskim oraz jego wybranych determinant. W pierwszej części zwięźle omówiono kategorię popytu na pracę, sposoby jego pomiaru oraz główne determinanty. W drugiej dokonano statystycznej analizy popytu na pracę w województwie lubelskim na tle tendencji ogólnopolskich. Wykazano, że popyt na pracę w regionie lubelskim charakteryzuje się niższą dynamiką i mniej rozwojową strukturą, a szanse na znalezienie pracy są niższe niż w kraju ogółem. Natomiast przeprowadzona w kolejnej części pracy analiza głównych determinant popytu na pracę wydaje się wskazywać, że dla wyjaśnienia niższej od krajowej dynamiki popytu na pracę większe znaczenie mogą mieć czynniki związane z sytuacją na rynku dóbr niż nieuzasadniony ekonomicznie wzrost płac. Zasygnalizowano również, że dla utrzymywania się omawianych dysproporcji istotne znaczenie może mieć relatywnie duży udział obszarów wiejskich i rolnictwa w strukturze gospodarczej oraz słabsza kondycja sektora przedsiębiorstw w regionie na tle kraju.

The article identifies the barriers in cooperation between vocational schools and employers, which are connected with the economic and social environment of schools. The main source of information on employers’ perspective is a survey of employers cooperating with vocational schools in Lublin (Poland). The survey results shows that employers are set on increasing the number of hours of students’ practical vocational training in the workplace, but are reluctant to undertake more costly and more demanding forms of cooperation with schools, like participating in vocational exams, training teachers or providing equipment for school workshops. It was argued that employers’ limited willingness to cooperate stems i.a. from fragmentation of the enterprise sector in Poland, poorly developed cooperative bonds between enterprises, and the small scale of recruitment problems during most of the last two decades.

W artykule zidentyfiowano bariery współpracy szkół zawodowych z pracodawcami, które są związane z otoczeniem gospodarczym i społecznym szkół. Głównym źródłem informacji o perspektywie pracodawców było badanie ankietowe pracodawców współpracujących ze szkołami zawodowymi znajdującymi się w Lublinie (Polska). Wyniki badań pozwalają stwierdzić, że pracodawcy dostrzegają potrzebę zwiększenia wymiaru czasowego zajęć praktycznych w zakładach pracy, jednak są niechętni do podejmowania bardziej kosztownych i wymagających form współpracy ze szkołami, jak udział w egzaminach zawodowych, szkolenie nauczycieli czy wsparcie wyposażenia szkolnych warsztatów. W opracowaniu stwierdzono, że ograniczona gotowość pracodawców do współpracy wynika m.in. z rozdrobnienia sektora przedsiębiorstw w Polsce, słabo wykształconych więzi kooperacyjnych między przedsiębiorstwami, a także niewielkiego nasilenia problemów rekrutacyjnych przez większą część ostatnich dwóch dekad.

The aim of this article is to present relationship between GDP fluctuations and changes in unemployment rate in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands in times of Global Financial Crisis against the long-term trends. Taking the Okun's Law as a starting point, the first part of the article describes the relationship between GDP and unemployment in developed economies, referring to historical developments and economic literature. The analysis conducted in empirical part proves, that GDP fluctuations in times of Global Economic Crisis exerted a greater influence on unemployment volatility than in periods of moderate or rapid economic growth. It is noticeable that the relative surge in unemployment in the US is considerably higher than in examined EU countries. It appears that the factors underlying the strength of relationship between GDP and unemployment rate in crisis are: the type of shock that caused the recession, the design of labour market institutions and discretionary policies adopted in times of crisis

The aim of the article is to present selected aspects of the performance of business sector in Lublin Voivodeship, which influence labor demand. The results of the analysis indicate that the situation inbusiness sector has a negative impact on the level and quality of labor demand. In particular, this is the result of a small number of firms in comparison to the rest of the country, especially the relatively small number of medium and large companies, as well as lagging behind in the share of highly productive, innovative startups. Firms’ poor investment and export performance also contribute negatively. On the other hand, business sector seems to be resistant to the impact of global financial crisis.

Purpose – The aim of the article is to identify the barriers to cooperation between vocational schools and employers. Design/Methodology/Approach – The main data source are the results of two surveys (CAWI): on vocational schools in Lublin, and on employers cooperating with those schools.Findings – The results show the asymmetry of schools’ and enterprises’ objectives, which should be regarded as an important barrier to the development of cooperation between the two. Employers are set on increasing the number of hours of students’ practical vocational training in the workplace, but are reluctant to undertake more costly and more demanding forms of cooperation with schools, like participating in vocational exams, training teachers or providing equipment for school workshops. Meanwhile, schools primarily indicate the need to improve their own resources, especially workshop equipment. They often consider the present state of cooperation with business as satisfactory. Employers’ limited willingness to cooperate stems i.a. from fragmentation of the enterprise sector in Poland, poorly developed cooperative bonds between enterprises, and the small scale of recruitment problems during most of the last two decades.Practical implications – The results allow for the identification of these forms of cooperation between schools and employers, which should be supported by EU structural funds.Value – The research is based on information of high substantive value from the employers who already have experience in cooperation with vocational schools. Results contribute to the formulation of the view on the effects of the reform of vocational education in Poland.

The aim of the analysis was to identify the features and development trends of the warehouse market in Lublin against the background of regional and domestic markets in Poland, and, subsequently, to assess the market’s development prospects and its role in strengthening the economic development of the City of Lublin. Valuable data on the supply and demand side of the warehouse market in Lublin has been collected for the purpose of the article. The analysis of the data on warehouse market development, in Lublin as well as and in regional and domestic markets in Poland in 2015 and 2016, confirmed the market’s solid growth. The prospects of the warehouse market in Lublin are very promising, owing to such factors as: supply of a highly qualified labor force, relatively low labor costs, the improvement of transport infrastructure, the development of the Special Economic Zone Euro-Park Mielec Lublin Subzone, and, last but not least, the effective strategy of attracting investors pursued by the Department of Strategy and Investor Relations of the City Office in Lublin.

Research background: Residential mobility affects the spatial structure of cities and urban development. Longer-distance migration has many additional implications: it affects the demographic situation of a sending area as well as its growth prospects. The literature on interregional and especially international migration regards residential satisfaction as being of at least secondary importance. More attention to this concept is given in research on intra-urban migration and suburbanisation. In a seminal paper of Speare (1974), residential satisfaction was found to be the best predictor of the willingness to move. However, determinants of mobility are country-specific. Purpose of the article: Answering the following research questions: 1) What is the scale and selectivity of the intention to move among city residents? 2) Does residential satisfaction explain variation in migration intentions? Methods: The data are derived from the PAPI survey on life quality in Lublin, Poland (sample: 1101 residents). We build ordered logit models explaining residents? declarations regarding different types of migration (intra-urban migration, suburbanisation, interregional and international migration) with various proxies of residential satisfaction, as well as financial situation and demographic attributes. Findings & Value added: The propensity to migrate was declared by approx. 15?30% of respondents, depending on the type of migration, which indicates relatively low mobility as against EU countries. We confirm that the intention to move is highly selective. The estimated ordered logit models explaining the intention to move prove that satisfaction with housing and neighbourhood characteristics along with life-stage characteristics are relevant predictors of intention to move both within and outside the region. We disregard the opinion that unemployment and adverse financial situation are key drivers of mobility in contemporary Poland. In a more international context, we provide evidence on how long- and short-distance migration are different in nature and discuss some policy implications regarding countering depopulation in peripheral areas.

The article aims to estimate GDP per capita for the City of Lublin in the years 2008–2015 and to present a new method of estimation of GDP per capita in Polish Counties (NUTS 4). The estimate has been made by using a multiple regression analysis. Explanatory variables have been derived from GDP per capita in NUTS 3, the average monthly gross wage, registered unemployment rate, the share of economic entities employing less than 10 persons and the ratio of population in the working age in Lublin Sub-region (NUTS 3) and in Lublin County (NUTS 4). The validation procedure presented in the article confirms, that the error estimation is satisfactory in comparison to the alternative approaches to GDP estimation in local areas discussed in the literature. However, in the discussion of the results, it was indicated, that the estimated values of GDP per capita are prone to the process of sub-urbanisation of people with high wages.

W artykule podjęto próbę oszacowania PKB na mieszkańca miasta Lublin w latach 2008–2015 oraz zaproponowano nową metodę szacowania PKB na mieszkańca powiatów (NUTS 4). W szacunku wykorzystano metodę regresji wielorakiej, w której zmienne objaśniające zostały wyznaczone na podstawie PKB na mieszkańca podregionu lubelskiego oraz poziomu przeciętnego miesięcznego wynagrodzenia brutto, stopy bezrobocia rejestrowanego, odsetka podmiotów gospodarczych o liczbie pracujących poniżej 10 osób i odsetka osób w wieku produkcyjnym w podregionie lubelskim i Lublinie. Zaprezentowana w artykule procedura weryfikacji modelu potwierdziła, że proponowana metoda generuje relatywnie niewielkie błędy na tle alternatywnych metod szacowania PKB w powiatach. W dyskusji wyników wskazano, że ustalone wartości mogą okazać się wrażliwe na proces przenoszenia się mieszkańców Lublina o relatywnie wysokich wynagrodzeniach na obszary sąsiednich powiatów.
