In the article rate of registered unemployment in communes of the Malopolskie voivodeship in 2009 is presented. Analyses include type of commune, sex of the unemployment, a differentia- tion of the unemployment rate in rural and urban areas, and changes related to year 2002. Methods of statistical and econometric analyses were used. A discussed problem is shown on the back- ground of whole country. Estimated models describing trend and seasonality in the unemployment rate in Poland (13 last years’ period: 1997 to fourth quarter 2009) and in Malopolskie (8 years, from 4 th quarter 2001 to the end 2009) are also presented. The analysis results were presented in the tables and graphs.
The subject of this paper is to consider internal migration phenomena in Poland in the years 2008-2011 with application of the gravity model. The period of time covers world financial and economic crisis which hinders economic growth in Poland and impedes internal migration flows. In the investigation 16 Polish voivodships were considered. The values of migration flows (for a permanent residence), related to inter- and intraregional flows constitute a dependent variable. As explanatory variables GDP per capita and registered unemployment rate, for which separate gravity models were specified, including also geographical distance, were selected. Estimation results provide an evaluation of an intensity and direction influence of explanatory variables on migration phenomena. Voivodships about relatively good economic situation are the centres of population inflow (particularly from neighbouring regions) and their net migration is positive. Territorial mobility of population of poor regions is very low.
