The scale of employment of the elderly in agriculture in the Baltic Sea Region is analysed. Classification of the countries according to the age structure of persons employed in agriculture is performed with the use of Ward’s clustering method. The diagnostic features were the percentages of persons from particular age groups employed in agriculture of a given country. The mean contributions of persons aged 50-64 and above 65 in the Baltic Sea Region are similar to those working in agriculture in all 27 EU member states. The mean percentage of the elderly (above 65 years of age) was over twice smaller in the Baltic Sea Region from the group of EU-10 countries and in Denmark than the those from the EU-15 group including Finland, Germany and Sweden. In the first group of countries also the percentage of persons aged 50-64 working in agriculture was also smaller.

Subject and purpose of work: The article presents the complexity of the transaction costs and their impact on institutions supporting employment of the people with disabilities in Poland. As a measure of the unwanted costs, lost benefits in the form of not received public income on account of shared and used concessions, endowments, exemptions for employers of people with disabilities were assumed. Materials and methods: An example of the lost benefits was presented on the grounds of State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons and the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy data. In the article, the method of description and financial analysis was applied. Results: All forms of public aid, being the support of employers of people with disabilities, require legislative actions, additional work of administration bodies, monitoring, PFRON (State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons), levies collection system adjustments (thus a tax system), which constitute the total coordination costs of the chosen economic policy, that is transaction costs. Conclusions: The analysis carried out indicates on the one hand the complexity of the institutional solutions for supporting the employment of people with disabilities, what provokes thoughts about the need to rationalize the institution of grants for entrepreneurs, labour law and occupational rehabilitation, on the other hand the sensitivity of the system supporting employment institutions to changes which occur in other institutions and in the environment.

The analysis and assessment of the status of employment and the functioning of labour market in Ukraine concerned the period from 2010 to 2014. Until 2013 both the number of employment and the employment rate increased slowly but systematically. In 2014 a rapid labour market collapse occurred. Transformations of labour market and rationalisations of ployment are related to structural transformations and the implementation of the system of market economy. New legislative basics and institutional changes ought to be continued while taking into account the need of qualitative changes and purposeful shaping of policy of labour market expansion.

Background. The workplace is one of many areas of life where obese people are unfairly treated. According to the literature obese women are particularly susceptible to discrimination in employment. There is a lack of polish researches of this subject. Objective. The main objective of this study was to analyze personal, subjective experiences related to weight bias and discrimination against obese people in the workplace of obese Polish women. Material and Methods. The study was carried out in a hospital clinic for obesity management. A total of 420 women with BMI>30, aged 21 to 72, participated in group interviews focused on the weight bias and discrimination against obese people in the workplace. Results. In the group of clinically obese women, 5.3% of subjects had experienced employment discrimination and 10.5% had been victims of verbal and social abuse in the workplace. The most common psycho-physical consequences of the weight stigma were emotional problems, lack of motivation and overeating in response to stress. Conclusions. Weight-based discrimination in the workplace poses a problem in Poland. The weight stigma and occupational discrimination lead to psycho-physical discomfort which exacerbates overeating and obesity.

Poland is experiencing the first stages of a period where its active labour force will decline steadily over time. This has raised important concerns with how well labour markets in Poland function, especially those in rural areas where there are still large numbers of households on small farms that have only limited engagement with formal work, and whose farm income is too low to provide an acceptable family income. The result is a high level of rural under-employment that imposes a growing burden on the economy and society, both in terms of unproductive labour and in high transfer payments to these families. There is a clear understanding that reducing the number of small full-time family farms in Poland is desirable as a way to: improve household incomes, address the need for more workers in other sectors, and further enhance the competitiveness of farming. Achieving this goal has been problematic, largely because to date there have been few incentives for these farm families to alter their behaviour. Simply put, the vast majority of small farm households do not perceive that they would be better off by engaging in formal employment. This largely reflects limited job opportunities in rural areas and a significant skill mismatch in local labour markets. But, it also reflects the continued existence of a variety of Polish policies that provide considerable financial benefits to these farm households, including a highly subsidized medical and retirement plan and exemption from income taxes, that significantly reduce the incentive to change behaviour. With a shrinking work force the cost of holding these potential workers in their current situation will only increase over time, but changing these longstanding policies remains a major challenge for the government.

The aim of this research was to prove that in ageing society the increasing number of the seniors has significant role in employment. The study included Visegrad 4 countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). The determination and correlation coefficients and the trend equations show the different but significant connection between the employment of senior workers and their increasing number in society. If the state does not take any proactive measure to invest into the value of the human capital of older workers, the ageing, sick, unemployment citizens will cause a serious social and financing problem in the near future.

The subject of analysis is the process of entering the labour market, considered in relation to the rural youth in selected post-communist countries (Poland, Romania, Russia, China and Vietnam). The empirical basis are different types of existing data (scientific monographs, papers, national and international reports, official statistics) collected in an international project funded by the National Science Centre, Poland. Transition from education to satisfactory employment which, at present times, takes almost the whole third decade of young people’s lives, is only an external indication of transformations in the labour markets all over the world. In the analysed group of the countries, Poland is the only case where both using new educational offers and positive valuation of living in the countryside occur to the extent unobserved in other countries; nevertheless, Polish young people also see their life opportunities in the cities where they compete for employment. Rural youth in all the analyzed countries usually represents the type of chaotic careers, situating it in segments of informal work, temporary or self-employment.

The paper focuses on comparisons of the size of the labour force between cooperatives and other legal forms of enterprises in agricultural area. Precisely, the purpose of the paper is to analyse differences between cooperatives and other enterprises in the agricultural sector in the context of employment. An empirical analysis is done on the example of Polish agricultural production cooperatives (APC) and other farming entities. The paper brings answers to the following research questions: Do the agricultural cooperatives provide more employment than other farming entities? What was the level of employment in agricultural cooperatives and other farming entities and what will it be? How does the level of employment influence the profitability of agricultural cooperatives and other farming entities? The conclusions are made on the basis of an analysis of the “List of the 300 best agricultural enterprises” prepared by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – the National Research Institute in Poland. The analysis includes the following types of agricultural enterprises: agricultural production cooperatives, government-owned companies, individual farms, private companies and other farming entities. The time range of this research covers the years 2009–2015. The comparisons are made using analysis of variance, extrapolation method and correlation analysis. The main finding is that there are no clear and significant differences between agricultural production cooperatives and other farming entities in terms of the level of employment, its impact on the overall profitability and partially on increase thereof. However, some of the entities are able to create a lot of jobs. Moreover, they can increase the return on sales by increasing the level of employment and maintain the existing jobs even in the time of a crisis.

The aim of this paper is to identify directions and dynamics of changes in the role of agriculture in the national economy of EU countries. The time frame of the analysis based on Eurostat data covers the years of 2000–2015. The study fits within the framework of comparative economics. As it results from the presented analyses, changes are found in the proportions between agriculture and the other sectors of the economy. An increase in the level of economic development is accompanied by a decrease in the share of the agricultural sector in the generation of GDP and the labour market. At the same time, primarily as a result in the reduction of the number of persons employed, an increase was recorded in workforce productivity in agriculture. This is evident especially in many of the countries accessing the European Union in 2004 and in the later period. Despite positive changes, agriculture in those countries is still playing a significant role in the links with economy, manifested particularly in its share in the employment rate and owned productive fixed assets.

Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the paper is to identify non-economic factors influencing employment in non-governmental organizations in the Subcarpathian Province. Materials and methods: Surveys were conducted in a group of 30 people managing non-governmental organizations. Results: In the Subcarpathian Province, the factors not connected to economy that encourage involvement in the work of non-governmental organisations include education, marital status, labour market activity, gender, religiousness, and moral authority associated with charitable activities. The factors such as age, personal experience of difficult life situations, or observing charity activities done by family members and friends have an insignificant effect on the involvement in the work of nongovernmental entities. Conclusions: The activities of state institutions of social policy whose goal is to increase the participation of citizens in the third sector entities should aim to give them an opportunity of obtaining the highest level of education possible, stable employment in the labour market, as well as creating conditions for families to function properly. Moreover, public institutions should conduct social campaigns to show citizens that working in the third sector enriches their social and personal life.

The long-term strategic objectives of EU Rural Development Policy in the next (2014-2020) programming period are as follows: competitiveness of agriculture, sustainable management of natural resources and balanced territorial development. In this strategy, agriculture remains to be a key element solution for rural problems. In cooperation with four villages of Nograd County in Hungary, a survey, carried out in the summer of 2012, questioning the local population about their economic and social conditions, the situation of local communities and development ideas, with special focus on the role and potential of agriculture, was conducted. Having analysed the role of agriculture in employment, based on literature and research conducted, it is worth highlighting its significance in solving rural problems and ought to be considered when constructing new rural policy, especially in the following topics: the social functions of traditional agriculture based on local resources, the strengthening of viable farms, the increasing importance of diversification and labor- -intensive products with high added-value.
