The COVID-19 pandemic has had impact on many areas of our life – it influenced the situation on the labour market, stimulated technical progress, especially in areas related to communication and information technologies and other related technologies (referred to as disruptive technologies). The paper aims to identify the type of technological change on the Polish labour market and to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on potential changes in the trajectory of this change in the context of J. Rifkin's concept of "end of work". The analysis is based on the available statistical data, a review of international literature, as well as the results of an expert debate. It is argued, that the processes induced by the polarisation of the labour market and the COVID-19 pandemic should not lead to the "end of work" and massive technological unemployment in Poland in the coming years. At the same time, a change in the employment structure (in terms of professions, industries and task-content groups) should be expected towards an increase in the importance of non-routine work, with a decreasing role of routine work, which will be replaced by technological solutions. The forms of provision of work will also be transformed - traditional contractual employment will be replaced by "contracts for the provision of labour services" concluded more and more frequently with the use of internet platforms.

The monograph published in English, which is the result of the project "Transformers - for the future labor market", takes up important issues of changes in the labor market in the context of technological development, which recently focuses on topics such as labor market polarization, automation and robotization , the effects of the fourth industrial revolution. The main threads discussed in the following chapters of the monograph relate to social and economic changes conditioned by the development of technology, in particular information and communication technologies, as well as the fourth industrial revolution, referred to as Industry 4.0. The main areas of analysis in the project "Transformers - for the future labor market" were presented in a synthetic way: the future of skills and competences, the future of professions and jobs, challenges related to education, as well as the conclusions drawn from desk-research analyzes and focus groups.

Rynek pracy w Niemczech jest obecnie w dobrej kondycji, co potwierdzaj ostatnie wskaniki, zarwno krajowe, jak i europejskie. Niemieccy pracodawcy jednak od lat ju zgaszaj problem niedoborw ka-drowych i proces ten si pogbia. Pandemia COVID-19 nie wpyna na zmniejszenie popytu na pra-cownikw. Wybrany w ubiegym roku rzd niemiecki zapowiada przeprowadzenie reformy rynku pracy, ktra m.in. ma wprowadzi zmiany w zasikach dla bezrobotnych. Celem artykuu jest przyblienie za-powiadanych zmian w zakresie regulacji dotyczcych polityki rynku pracy w Niemczech.

W artykule omawiane jest zagadnienie dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy w polskich przedsiębiorstwach w kontekście koncepcji segmentacji rynku pracy. Celem artykułu jest ustalenie, jak segmentacja rynku pracy, określona przez liczbę segmentów stanowisk pracy w przedsiębiorstwach, determinuje częstotliwość dobrowolnego odchodzenia z przedsiębiorstwa przez osoby w nim zatrudnione, a także identyfikacja wpływu innych czynników związanych z organizacją, środowiskiem pracy i cechami osób zatrudnionych na intensywność dobrowolnej rotacyjności w Polsce. W badaniu sformułowano dwa problemy: czy liczba segmentów pracy wewnątrz przedsiębiorstwa wpływa na skalę dobrowolnej rotacyjności w polskich firmach? czy zależność między cechami miejsca pracy a skłonnością do dobrowolnego odejścia z pracy różni się ze względu na segmenty? Wykorzystując dane pochodzące z badania CAWI przeprowadzonego na próbie 1002 polskich firm do oszacowania wielomianowego modelu probitowego, weryfikacji poddano dwie hipotezy: struktura segmentacji stanowisk pracy warunkuje skłonność do dobrowolnych odejść z pracy; determinanty dobrowolnej rotacyjności związane z cechami stanowiska pracy są zróżnicowane pomiędzy segmentami. Wyniki badania empirycznego wskazują, że czynniki strukturalne są głównymi determinantami skłonności do dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy, jednakże ich wpływ zależy od segmentu, do którego należy pracownik – tym samym potwierdzono hipotezę drugą. Liczba segmentów rynku pracy okazuje się determinować skłonność do dobrowolnego odchodzenia z pracy jedynie w przypadku pracowników z segmentu pierwotnego, co potwierdza prawdziwość hipotezy pierwszej jedynie częściowo. Główne czynniki wpływające na skłonność do dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy są związane z satysfakcją z wykonywanego zajęcia – należy w związku z tym wskazać na ważną rolę działów personalnych oraz praktyk zarządzania w redukcji skali dobrowolnego odchodzenia z pracy w Polsce i innych krajach charakteryzujących się niedoborami po stronie podażowej.

The paper studies upgrading patterns between secondary and primary segments in Polish labour market, with reference to the Segmented Labour Market theory. The type of contact (permanent vs. fixed-term) and wage distribution were used within one framework to define these labour segments. The parameters of binary choice model, based on Labour Force Survey microdata, were estimated to calculate the probabilities of shift from secondary to primary segment, and to identify supply and demand-side determinants of this upgrading. The results are, in general, in line with the trap hypothesis, pointing out to limited chances of upward shift from secondary to primary labour segment. However, this upward mobility has increased in recent years, being a result of changes in real (measured by lowering unemployment rate) and institutional sphere of the Polish labour market. Individual's age, education attainment, propensity to invest in human capital, as well as the size of an enterprise appeared to be the most important divers of inter-segments upgrading. Moreover, regional as well as sectoral differences in probability of upgrading were identified – this probability was higher in the case of workers living in regions with large agglomerations and close proximity to the German labour market.

International audience ; Globalization process creates fovurable conditions for dynamic development of economic centers both at national and regional level. Yet, it may be an obstacle for growth for peripheral countries and regions. In the European Union one can confirm convergence process at national level. However, in Central European countries the convergence of national economies does not support sustainable growth at regional level and regional convergence process. This situation often leads to the problem of draining up of scarce resources from peripheral regions, which negatively affects their entrepreneurship potential and sustainable socioeconomic development. In the longer run this unbalanced spatial growth can become a significant obstacle for welfare improvements. In this context, the purpose of the article is to analyze the quality of entrepreneurial environment in Poland at regional level within the context of sustainability framework. The research was done for NUTS 2 regions in the years 2010-2014. The quality of entrepreneurial environment is considered here as a multiple-criteria phenomenon that should be treated as a latent variable. Thus, in the research Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was applied. Values of the latent variable were assessed based on confirmatory factor analysis, which provided information on the socioeconomic development of Polish regions, which determinates the entrepreneurial conditions. In order to group the regions to homogenous subsets natural breaks method was used. The conducted research confirms the process of improvement of entrepreneurial conditions in most of the NUTS 2 regions in Poland. From the perspective of regional convergence process, on the one hand, one can point some positive factors such as noticeable improvements in some underdeveloped regions. However, the dominance of the central region and significant disparities between the NUTS 2 are still relatively stable and extensive. From the methodological perspective the article shows the ...
