The analysis of the official sources and expenditures towards the reproduction of labor suggests that households mainly provide current consumption, which is the economic basis of a simple reproduction of the labor force. At the same time households costs for expanded reproduction of the labor force is insufficient. This applies particularly to education and healthcare. To improve the situation regarding increasing of revenue sources and directions of households expenditures at the national level it is nessesary to implement the following algorithm of sequential steps: 1) reduce population differentiation in terms of its average per capita income; 2) a policy of stimulating an increase of household expenditures for expanded reproduction of the labor force; 3) enhance the educational level of the population; 4) provide activities directed at popularization of a healthy way of life, physical culture and sports.

Market transition in Central and Eastern Europe triggered many new socioeconomic developments. One of them was the appearance of open unemployment vastly different from that noted in most developed economies around the world. As a result, the term “transformation unemployment” began to be used in literature on the subject. The authors of the article analyze the trend from a theoretical point of view and then follow up with an empirical study of unemployment. They present changes in the labor force and GDP in several groups of countries: Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary) plus Slovenia; Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia; Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova; Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan; and Balkan countries (former Yugoslav states except Slovenia as well as Albania, Bulgaria and Romania). The authors offer a statistical analysis of GDP growth and unemployment in individual groups of countries. In the final part of the article, the most important conclusions are summed up. These include the fact that the analyzed groups of countries display major differences in unemployment rates, along with changes in employment figures and labor productivity. Moreover, in most these countries, GDP growth has had a limited effect on unemployment. The only exception is Central Europe, though the European members of the Commonwealth of Independent States and transition economies in the Balkans also stand out positively.

The article is devoted to the issue of professional training of labor force in Japan, provided by means of formal education. The constant development of labor force’s competencies has turned into the main prerequisite of business competitiveness. Thus, investigation of the ways by which it may be improved is particularly important. Asian developed countries in which human resource development is the issue of national concern can provide invaluable information. Diversified forms of professional de- velopment of personnel which contributed to the quality of training have attracted our attention. The author reveals the most effective types of providers, which offer formal training and its most popular forms. The goal groups, for whom the training courses are organized, have been found. The contents of professional training have been analyzed in their accordance with the labor market and demands of employers in Japan.

ObjectivesAn increased burden of chronic diseases in the working age population is observed across high income countries. Persons with chronic diseases (PwCDs) are less likely to maintain or return to work due to several constraints they experience. The purpose of the study was to assess the preferences and needs of PwCDs regarding 6 areas of flexibility at the workplace. It was assessed whether there were any personal characteristics associated with higher or lower expectations and needs.Material and MethodsThis was a part of a large multicenter international project, i.e., the PArticipation To Healthy Workplaces And inclusive Strategies in the Work Sector (PATHWAYS) project, aimed to contribute to the development of innovative approaches to promote professional integration and reintegration of PwCDs into the work sector. In Poland, 59 respondents diagnosed with different chronic diseases were identified through advocacy groups. An on-line survey was conducted to collect information on their needs and expectations. A cluster analysis was performed to reveal some expectation types which differentiated individuals across 6 analyzed domains, along with a multivariable logistic regression to identify some characteristics associated with a special expectation type.ResultsWorkplace facilitator items were generally scored as needed (“rather conductive” and “very conductive” groups identified). The factors positively associated with higher needs in this domain were education, and a hindering type of the disease. Unrestricted working hours were very conductive or indifferent, and were positively associated with education. Legal solutions were more conductive for older people. Medical support, access to training, and supervisors’ knowledge were needed in general, with no associations with the personal characteristics identified.ConclusionsPersons with chronic diseases report several facilitators which are needed for them to maintain or return to work, but they are not satisfied with the existing economy in Poland. These needs should be taken into consideration in the effective policy development.

Objectives Current demographic trends, such as society aging, the spreading of chronic diseases, as well as early retirement choices, lead to the dwindling labor market population. Taking into consideration the foregoing tendencies and their consequences, the issue of the shrinking labor force resources seems to be the most important challenge for the labor market. In response to it, this paper identifies individual and institutional causes of withdrawal from the labor market, and explores the views of Polish stakeholders on existing strategies for the occupational re-integration of persons with chronic diseases (PwCDs). Material and Methods Polish results of 2 European projects: “Participation to Healthy Workplaces and Inclusive Strategies in the Work Sector” (the PATHWAYS project) and “The Collaborative Research on Aging in Europe” (COURAGE in Europe) complemented each other. The cross-sectional population data and data from stakeholders’ interviews were used. Results The authors identified several causes which could encourage people to withdraw from the labor market before attaining the official retirement age at 3 different levels: individual, occupational, and institutional. Although research has shown that the macro-level situation is crucial to staying occupationally active, in Poland stakeholders have reported the lack of effective coordination in the implementation of policies for the occupational re-integration of PwCDs. Conclusions A decision to cease work prematurely reflects a combination of many different factors, such as individual determinates, work characteristics, personal convictions, and systemic solutions. The study demonstrated that, despite the awareness of the dwindling resources of labor force, the employment-related challenges faced by PwCDs as well as people who are close to the retirement age remain unaddressed.

The article aims to answer the question of whether the widely discussed dissemination of knowledge-based work has the potential to revolutionize modern economic relations. The argument makes reference to three key issues: 1)the number of knowledge workers, 2) their theoretical and actual diversity, and 3) the impact of intellectual property rights on potential changes hiding within the growing importance of knowledge work processes. In conclusion it is argued that any revolutionary change must involve decommodification of the workforce involved in the production of both material and intangible/immaterial goods.

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie czy szeroko dyskutowane rozpowszechnienie pracy opartej na wiedzy ma szansę zrewolucjonizować współczesne stosunki gospodarcze. W argumentacji odniesiono się do trzech kluczowych kwestii: liczebności pracowników wiedzy, ich teoretycznej i faktycznej różnorodności oraz wpływu praw własności intelektualnej na potencjał zmiany kryjący się w rosnącym znaczeniu wiedzy dla procesów pracy. W konkluzji zaprezentowano argumenty zgodnie, z którymi wszelka rewolucyjna zmiana kapitalizmu musi pociągnąć za sobą odtowarowienie siły roboczej zaangażowanej w produkcję dóbr zarówno materialnych jak i niematerialnych.
