The article presents research results on the analysis of green jobs in the European Union countries with respect to selected indicators characterizing the member states. For the empirical analysis a regression model was applied. As a dependent variable a number of jobs in the renewable energy sector in 2012 per million inhabitants of the countries was used. In the linear regression model the explanatory variable was a share of expenditure on R&D in GDP [%]. Studies show that the increase in research and development expenditures have a real, measurable impact on the availability of green jobs in the EU countries. Research results were presented on the background of the strategy "Europe 2020".

Do analizy wykorzystano model regresji liniowej. Za zmienną zależną przyjęto względną liczbę miejsc pracy w sektorze energetyki odnawialnej w 2012 r., tj. liczbę stanowisk w przeliczeniu na mln mieszkańców krajów. Zmienną objaśniającą w skonstruowanym modelu stanowił udział nakładów na B+R w PKB [%]. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że zwiększanie roli badań i rozwoju ma mierzalny wpływ na zmiany w zakresie dostępności zielonych miejsc pracy w krajach UE. Wyniki badań przedstawiono na tle założeń strategii "Europa 2020".

The article presents the methodology of establishing the poverty line which can be marked with utilization of measures: absolute, relative or subjective measures. The variety of methods relating to establishing the border of poverty is the source of methodological disputes among economists and experts. On this background the analysis of factors determining the problem of poverty in the households of Podkarpackie voivodship is presented. The classification of households on poor/nonpoor is accomplished on basis of the social minimum in 2008 according to the family members number. However, the application of the analysis of the logit regress allowed to estimate and statistical verify the logit models which enabled pointing the probability of the household falling in poverty.

This article aims to analyze the benefits of implementing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard in Polish manufacturing companies. The study focuses on identifying how the internal characteristics of a company, and its financial situation, influence the variety of benefits obtained from ISO 14001 implementation. The main goal is to understand the role of EMS in the context of the broadly defined Qstrategy of sustainable development (SD) of enterprises. Filling the research gap also involves determining the factors differentiating the scale of benefits, considering both the attributes of enterprises and the parameters of their financial situation. The research methodology uses primary data, collected through a questionnaire survey of enterprises, and secondary data, including financial information. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests are used to analyze and evaluate the differentiation of benefits. The results indicate significant differences in perceptions of the advantages of implementing ISO 14001, depending on factors such as the enterprise's origin of capital, the geographical scope of its activity, and its financial condition. Among the most significant benefits mentioned are compliance with legal requirements, an improved company image, increased customer numbers, and growth in operational efficiency. The article contributes to the literature on environmental management, emphasizing the importance of diversification of a company's internal and external factors in the context of the benefits arising from EMS. The implications of this study are significant, both for the theory of environmental management and for business practices; it offers insight into how companies can maximize the benefits of implementing the ISO 14001 standard.
