This empirical research investigates state based factors affecting the inward FDI employment among fifty states of the United States, uses annual data for the period of time from 1997 to 2007 and identifies several state-specific determinants of FDI employment. The results indicate that the major factors exerting positive impact on inward US FDI employment are: real wages, infrastructure, unionization level, educational attainment, FDI stock and manufacturing density. In addition, the results show that gross state product growth rate, real per capita taxes and share of scientists and engineers have negative impact on FDI employment. Our findings indicate the importance of selected variables in evaluating the effects of FDI flow on state employment.

Opracowanie stanowiące doniesienie z badań skupiono na trudnościach w uzyskiwaniu zatrudnienia przez osoby z nadwagą oraz otyłe. Wyniki badań ukazują, że w śród objętych badaniami 112 pracodawców (62 kobiet, 50 mężczyzn) tylko 15 kobiet i 7 mężczyzn zatrudniało osoby z nadwagą pod warunkiem, że otyłość nie utrudniała tym osobom wykonywania czynności zawodowych. Wyników tych badań nie można uogólniać, wskazują one jednak, że nadmierna waga ciała może utrudniać procesy przystosowawcze łącznie z uzyskiwaniem pracy.

The aim of the executed research is to determine the influence of harvesting renewable energy on the labour market. Eurostat Databases provided a source of empirical data concerning the amount of produced energy. The number of the employed and the performance of the installed equipment were determined thanks to reports drafted by EurObserv’ER or International Renewable Energy Agency. The following sectors were considered: solid biofuels, biogas, liquid biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, municipal waste, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind power. The research concerned 28 member states of the EU between 2009 and 2015. Such a scope was established due to significant changes on the renewable energy market triggered by the Climate and Energy Package passed by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. The number of the working people (directly in the enterprises operating in the field of producing raw energy materials and energy from renewable sources, as well as providing equipment and services within this field) in relation to 1 000 tonnes of oil equivalent of the primary energy obtained in particular sectors of renewable energy sources was used as the performance indicator. Panel estimation was used as means of empirical indication of relations between the variables.

Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie wpływu pozyskiwania energii ze źródeł odnawialnych na rynek pracy. Źródło danych empirycznych dotyczących wielkości produkcji energii stanowiły Bazy Danych Eurostatu. Natomiast liczbę zatrudnionych i moc zainstalowanych urządzeń ustalono na podstawie raportów wydawanych przez organizację EurObserv’ER lub Międzynarodową Agencję Energii Odnawialnej (IRENA). Uwzględniono następujące sektory: biomasa stała, biogaz, biomasa płynna, geotermia, energetyka wodna, odpady komunalne, fotowoltaika, energia solarna, energetyka wiatrowa. Zakres badań obejmował 28 państw UE w latach 2009–2015. Przyjęcie takiego okresu wynikało ze znaczących zmian na rynku energii ze źródeł odnawialnych, jakie nastąpiły po przyjęciu przez Parlament Europejski i Radę UE Pakietu klimatyczno-energetycznego. Miernikiem efektów zatrudnienia była liczba pracujących (bezpośrednio w podmiotach gospodarczych zajmujących się wytwarzaniem surowców energetycznych i energii z odnawialnych źródeł, jak też w sektorach dostarczających urządzenia i świadczących usługi z tego zakresu) w odniesieniu do 1 000 toe pozyskanej energii pierwotnej w poszczególnych sektorach OZE. W celu empirycznej identyfikacji zależności między zmiennymi stosowano estymację panelową.

Irena Ramik-Mażewska, Employer’s Assistant – new value in employing persons with disabilities. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 27, Poznań 2019. Pp. 417–432. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. e-ISSN 2658-283X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.27.20 The purpose of this article is to present the initiative of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland, which is aimed at increasing the professional activity of persons with disabilities. The developed and tested model of the employer’s assistant is, in the special pedagogy, a new quality directed towards the labour market. The Employer’s Assistant does not deal, in essence, only with a person with a disability, but mainly with the environment of employers to hire persons that suffer from disabilities. In the article, I refer to the assistant of the disabled person as a result of the biopsychosocial model of disability, which creates a great opening to the discussion on various models of assistance. I would like to point out the specific consequences of the lack of employment among people with disabilities. I present the premises of the employer’s assistant model and the evaluation of its effectiveness, the main consequence of which is the ability to build social capital of persons with disabilities. By cooperating with many environments, the employer’s assistant develops specific social behavioural patterns and becomes a foundation of social activity of persons with disabilities.

The interactive model of vocational rehabilitation includes two key components: the rehabilitated individual and the vocational rehabilitation environment. The interaction of these two elements should contribute to the improvement of vocational competencies of people with disabilities[1]. Due to the fact that parents are considered as the second main contributors (just after teaching staff) of vocational training as well as life and vocational orientation of children and teenagers[2], the family environment can be treated as a significant part of the vocational rehabilitation of people with intellectual disability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to discover how parents of individuals with intellectual disability participate, if they do, in vocational training of their children. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among parents of special vocational schools graduates using the survey ASZ-S-R by W. Otrębski and K. Mariańczyk. The results are based on the answers of 71 parents/guardians of graduates of special vocational schools located in South-East part of Poland. Results: Nearly 88% of respondents declared that they supported the vocational preparation of their children by holding talks about various vocational activities. Circa 40% of them also provided help to their children with disabilities to find employment (e.g. by searching for job advertisements); nevertheless, over a quarter do not engage in such an activity at all. Active participation of parents of graduates with intellectual disability is necessary to prepare their children to undertake vocational activities. [1] W.

The article addresses an important issue from the point of view of the allegations formulated by the employers’ circles towards higher education regarding the incompatibility of educational programmes with the needs of the labour market. The author shows the shape of the adventure tourism brought to life at the Academy of Physical Education in Kraków. In the article the author presents the results of research in an attempt to answer the question whether such a profile creates a better chance for a career in the tourism industry. The research is a survey of preferences of employers during recruitment for a position related to tourism in companies organising tourist events. Results of this study indicate that in most companies experience is the strongest asset of candidates for a job. Adventure tourism major, however, is welcomed by the vast majority of respondents. The method used in this study refers to a small trial – this is due to the limited number of Polish companies organising adventure tourism or events with its elements. Among the few companies for which education is particularly important, a degree with a major in adventure tourism is an asset. Even those respondents for whom education is not a priority positively perceive the obtaining a degree in adventure tourism, as students of such major gain experience, acquire the skills needed to organise various tourist events and develop passions and interests which are also important in the tourism industry.

The issue of work in itself is a problem that can be analyzed on many levels and looked at through the prism of many scientific disciplines. Economics in her nature is a social science that studies the state of world economic life using mathematical methods. A fascinating issue for understanding work in economics is the business cycles, which clearly affect unemployment patterns around the world. The nature of economics, which is concerned with studying human activities in times of recession and, just as in times of prosperity, sets the course for politicians, entrepreneurs but also ordinary workers. This is made possible by analysing and observing the behaviour in the economic markets of the world. This article is leaning towards unemployment and employment in France since the beginning of the 21st century, since France is one of the leading economies, alongside Germany, in the European Union.

The aim of this study is to arrange the member states of the European Union in order of their labour market potential. The data used for research were provided by the European Statistical Office. Therefore, it was possible to provide reliable comparisons of individual countries. Based on the unemployment rate, the employment rate and other macroeconomic indicators, including GDP, the inflation rate, labour costs and amount of remuneration, a synthetic indicator was developed. Account was also taken of those elements of the economic environment of the labour market which theoretically demonstrate material interrelations with its structures. The results achieved prove the potential of the labour market, as well as its innovative and development abilities. The research is based on the Perkal synthetic index. The research findings were used to classify the member states of the European Union and to identify the countries with the highest and the lowest labour market potential.

Autor omawia problem niepewności pracy w perspektywie uberyzacji gospodarki. Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do dyskusji na tematy niezmiernie aktualne, takie jak rosnąca niepewność pracy i coraz większa obecność nietypowych, substandardowych form zatrudnienia. Zwrócono w nim uwagę na niebezpieczeństwo coraz większej liczby etatów substandardowych. Podkreślono, że rosnące znaczenie niepewnych form zatrudnienia, w połączeniu z relatywnie niższą konkurencyjnością jednostek wykonujących pracę tego rodzaju sprzyja coraz większemu dysparytetowi dochodów i wydatków oraz rozszerza egzemplarz niu się zakresu wykluczenia społecznego. Podstawowym celem artykułu było wskazanie na zmiany zachodzące na rynku pracy, w tym rosnącą niepewność zatrudnienia. Artykuł omawia również wyzwania i zagrożenia wynikające z uberyzacji gospodarki i coraz większej liczby prekaryjnych miejsc pracy.

The issue of employment insecurity in the perspective of economy uberisation was discussed in the paper. The paper is a contribution to discussion on growing employment insecurity and atypical, substandard forms of employment. It was underlined that growing importance of insecure employment forms, coupled with relatively lower competitiveness of individuals performing this kind of work, lead to a higher income and expenditure disparity and a rising scope of social exclusion. The basic aim of the paper was to indicate the changes occurring on the labour market, including increasing insecurity of employment. The paper defines challenges and threats resulting from uberisation of the economy and increasing employment precariousness.

Автор обсуждает проблему нестабильности трудоустройства в перспективе уберизации экономики. Эта статья – голос в дискуссии на исключительно важные темы, такие как растущая нестабильность трудоустройства и все большее распространение нетипичных, субстандартных форм занятости. Автор говорит об опасности все большего количества субстандартных условий трудоустройства. Было также подчеркнуто, что растущее значение нестабильных форм занятости при одновременной более низкой конкурентоспособностью единиц, выполняющих такого рода работу, способствует все большему диспаритету доходов и расходов, а также расширению диапазона социальной маргинализации. Основная цель статьи – указать на изменения, происходящие на рынке труда, в том числе на растущую неуверенность работников относительно занятости. В статье обсуждаются также вызовы и угрозы, вытекающие из уберизации экономики и все большего количества прекариатных рабочих мест.
