The article analyses the demand and supply effects of temporary increase in government spending on the labour market. The analysis was performed using a model of the new Keynesian economics. Estimates of model parameters were determined by the Bayes method. The simulations show that government spending greater impact on the labour market through demand effect than the supply side. Demand effect is stronger for both employment and wages.

The demographic future of Poland and the labour market The study focuses on the demographic changes expected in Poland by 2050 and their impact on the labour market. The forecasts indicate a significant loss of potential labour resources, their aging and the increase in the burden on those resources from the non-productive population. This situation may trigger a num­ber of threats to the labour market and the economy, including the occurrence of labour shortages, weak­ening of competitiveness and economic growth. Previous socio-demographic statistics, however, point to the complexity of the relationship between demography and the labour market, and they discourage sim­plistic conclusions regarding the nature of these links in the future.

Pandemia koronawirusa stała się bezprecedensową sytuacją globalnego upowszechnienia pracy zdalnej. Dotychczasowe przepisy dotyczące telepracy, w szczególności unormowania definicyjne, okazały się nieadekwatne do realiów rynku pracy. Wraz z rozpoczęciem prac legislacyjnych we wrześniu 2020 r., ustawodawca stanął przed dylematem, czy obecne przepisy mają obowiązywać tylko w czasie pandemii, czy także po niej. Definicja pracy zdalnej zawarta w nowym art. 675 odgrywa w tej materii rolę fundamentalną, od której zależy nie tylko przyszłość rynku pracy, ale też rewolucja w obrębie samej ontologii pracy.

In Poland and other European Union member states, young people are disfavoured by employers in the labour market. This applies to the forms of employment (flexible and fixed- term contracts) and its financial conditions. In 2013, the unemployment rate among economically active population under the age of 25 in the EU was 23.1%, while in Poland it amounted to 27 %. The problems of the young people in the labour market include the mismatch of skills sought by employers and the ones mastered by potential employees, the limited number of new jobs, as well as the discriminatory practices of employers towards young people. Young people classified as NEET (not in employment, education, training) generate considerable social costs. In 2010, 16.5 % of individuals in the 18–24 group and 19.7 % in the 25 29 group in the EU were classified as NEETs. The EU supported the member states' governments actions regarding young people via the Lisbon Strategy and the Europe 2020 Strategy. The EU also proposed a new model for flexible management of the labour market (the so-called flexicurity) to improve the efficiency of labour markets and to ensure more jobs while fostering social security of workers. In Poland, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy implemented the government policy as well as the recommendations of the European Commission through the "Youth in the labour market" programme.
