REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIVE LABOUR MARKET PROGRAMMES IN POLAND
Abstract
This paper has been written on the basis o f compulsory statistical reports prepared by Polish
labour offices and presents various forms of activation of the unemployed, their efficiency and the
funds spent on realisation of those activities.
The effectiveness o f active labour market programmes has been going down since 2001. One o f the
reasons of that situation is the difference in the structural and economic development of regions in
Poland. Analyses of the differences in the effectiveness of active labour market programmes (ALMP)
in Polish regions show that those differences have their origin in historic and geographic
determinants. The effectiveness of ALMP in counties (powiat) depends on their location. Those near
large urban agglomerations achieve better employment results upon completion of an active labour market programme than those farther from large cities or in rural areas. Areas with high demand for
work and with readily available qualified human resources are more attractive to potential
enterprises. To increase the effectiveness of ALMP it will be necessary to change the social and
economic environment and reduce the cost o f labour, to adapt the education and professional training
to the needs of the labour market, and to eliminate the differences in economic and structural
development of Polish regions.
