The paper is an attempt to perform a comparative analysis of the situation on labour market of districts of Slaskie voivodeship in 2006 and in 2010 through providing its statistical image. In the first stage of the study a synthetic variable (Hellwig measurement) was constructed. It allowed for linear ordering of the districts from "the best" to "the worst" with respect to the situation on labour market and for the assessment of the change of image of labour market in Slaskie voivodeship in 2010 in comparison with 2006. In this way the thesis that measurement of condition of the labour market with the use of synthetic variable provides more reliable results than the measurement with the use of only the unemployment rate was to be verified.
The purpose of the paper is to present already observed as well as expected changes in the condition and age structure of the population of Śląskie voivodeship. The analysis concerns the years between 1990 and 2050. The paper presents changes in population in the years from 1990 to 2013 and the projection of the population situation in 2050. Special attention is focussed on the process of changes in population functional age groups, also the dynamics and the level of ageing advancement of population in total as well as of particular age groups which are significant from the point of view of labour market and future births are presented.
The article presents results of a multidimensional comparative analysis of the level of demographic development of voivodeships in Poland in years 1999-2006. Hellwig's synthetic measure of a development pattern was applied and on its basis the classification of voivodeships into homogenous typological groups was carried out with regard to demographic development.The results of the research have pointed to a significant influence of socio-economic factors on the extent of advancement of given voivodeships in reaching a modern type of population reproduction.
W artykule przedstawiono analizę zmian liczby i struktury ludności w wieku produkcyjnym w państwach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej w latach 2000-2012 oraz zbadano podobieństwo struktur ludności według grup wieku z wykorzystaniem metody taksonomii struktur. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na przewidywane - do 2035 - zmiany potencjalnych zasobów pracy oraz ich starzenie.

The paper presents analysis of changes in the number and structure of working age population in the states of Central and Eastern Europe between 2000 and 2012, and similarities between population structures by age groups are analysed with the use of the method of structure taxonomy. Special attention is focused on projected changes in potential labour resources and their ageing until 2035.
The paper is a comparative analysis of health condition of EU-27 states that are differentiated with respect to demographic situation and the level of social and economic development with the use of methods of multidimensional comparative analysis. Relationships between macroeconomic values and health indices of EU populations were also studied with the use of demometric models. The study was performed for 2009. The most favourable health situation (in the light of diagnostic qualities adopted for the study) was observed in Cyprus, where the value of synthetic measure was almost 0.9. Cyprus is a relatively young country, with the lowest rate of mortality due to malicious tumours among all the countries of the European Community. Apart from Cyprus, Ireland was found in the first group (the lowest rate of people at 65+ years of age of all EU countries), Luxembourg (low rate of infant mortality) and Spain (relatively low mortality due to diseases of circulatory system). Definitely the worst health situation was observed in majority of the countries of the former Eastern bloc. On the grounds of the correlation diagram it was possible to conclude that, together with social and economic development of the country and resulting growth in expenditures on health protection per capita, mean life expectancy at birth significantly extended. However, these relations are not linear. Logarithmically constructed regression functions proved a strong and statistically significant impact of macroeconomic values on indices of population health condition.
The article presents changes in the structure of population by age in Śląskie voivodship between 1990 and 2035. The similarity of structures has been studied with the use of taxonomic algorithm and the time distributions of senility and load indices of the population in general while taking sex and place of residence into consideration have been presented. The process of population ageing is more and more intensive. Less and less numerous age groups that reach the productive age and more and more numerous age groups that enter the retirement age show that Śląskie voivodship, similarly to the whole area of Poland and other European countries, will have to face the problem of population ageing. This challenge is particularly hard to confront because of the low level of professional activity of the people over 50 years of age.
The purpose of the article is to analyse the demographic potential of the countries that have applied for the European Union membership against the background of the EU member states. The study involves eight candidate states: Croatia, Iceland, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Turkey, i.e. the countries that have been approved by the European Commission as official candidates for the EU membership, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, i.e. the potential candidates. Albania and Serbia applied officially for the EU membership in 2009. Favourable population age structure and relatively high fertility rate that occur in these countries determine a significant demographic potential they can bring to the EU after their accession. Decrease in infant mortality rate and extension of life expectancy illustrate positive changes that have been taking place in these countries for the last several years.
Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest przestrzenno-czasowa analiza stanu i struktury bezrobocia w Polsce w ujęciu wojewódzkim. Analizie poddano zmiany w czasie podstawowych wskaźników charakteryzujących rozkłady bezrobotnych z punktu widzenia różnych cech demograficzno-społecznych, takich jak: płeć, wiek, wykształcenie, czas pozostawania bez pracy oraz staż pracy osób bezrobotnych. W drugiej części opracowania zbadano podobieństwo województw ze względu na zjawisko bezrobocia, które można opisać za pomocą wielu cech jednocześnie. Wykorzystano przy tym metody wielowymiarowej analizy porównawczej tzn. metodę Warda, metodę k-średnich oraz taksonomię wrocławską. Dynamikę poziomu bezrobocia z uwzględnieniem podstawowych cech demograficznych i społecznych oraz analizę taksonomiczną przeprowadzono dla skrajnych lat badanego okresu tj. 2008 i 2012.
