Design/Methodology/Approach-The main data source are the results of two surveys (CAWI): on vocational schools in Lublin, and on employers cooperating with those schools. Findings-The results show the asymmetry of schools' and enterprises' objectives, which should be regarded as an important barrier to the development of cooperation between the two. Employers are set on increasing the number of hours of students' practical vocational training in the workplace, but are reluctant to undertake more costly and more demanding forms of cooperation with schools, like participating in vocational exams, training teachers or providing equipment for school workshops. Meanwhile, schools primarily indicate the need to improve their own resources, especially workshop equipment. They often consider the present state of cooperation with business as satisfactory. Employers' limited willingness to cooperate stems i.a. from fragmentation of the enterprise sector in Poland, poorly developed cooperative bonds between enterprises, and the small scale of recruitment problems during most of the last two decades. Practical implications-The results allow for the identification of these forms of cooperation between schools and employers, which should be supported by EU structural funds. Value-The research is based on information of high substantive value from the employers who already have experience in cooperation with vocational schools. Results contribute to the formulation of the view on the effects of the reform of vocational education in Poland. Keywords-vocational education and training, vocational education and enterprises, VET and the labour market, VET in Poland Notes: Micro-enterprises employ up to 10 people, small-10 to 49, medium-50 to 249, and large-250 or more Source: Own research and data from CSO in Poland. In one of the questions, the employers were asked to indicate and sort by priority up to five actions which in their opinion should be taken to strengthen vocational training and to adjust it to the requirements of labor market. Figure 1 presents the 3 Survey at schools was carried out jointly by the City Council of Lublin and the entity responsible for the document entitled Diagnosis and development plan for vocational education in the Lubelskie Voivodeship until the year 2025, commissioned by Konwent Powiatów Województwa Lubelskiego.

Badanie losów 8,5 tys. absolwentów szkół średnich w Lublinie pozwoliło na zgromadzenie danych jednostkowych o mobilności młodzieży oraz wyniku maturalnym traktowanym jako miara kapitału ludzkiego. Wyniki wskazują, że odsetek młodzieży migrującej poza region wynosi około 20% i na tle ustaleń w literaturze jest niski. Rozkład stopy migracji oraz wyniki regresji logistycznej potwierdziły wysokie prawdopodobieństwo odpływu najbardziej uzdolnionej młodzieży. Silną pozytywną selekcję do migracji studenckich uznano za ważny mechanizm redystrybucji zasobów kapitału ludzkiego między regionami, który może wpływać negatywnie na akumulację kapitału ludzkiego obszaru wysyłającego.

Wykazano, że dla wyjaśnienia niższej od krajowej dynamiki zatrudnienia, większe znaczenie mogą mieć czynniki związane z popytową stroną rynku pracy niż nieuzasadniony ekonomicznie wzrost płac. The article analyzes the labour market in Lublin Voivodeship. Firstly, it presents its distinctive features on the background of the domestic labour market in Poland. Subsequently, three characteristics of the region’s economy are discussed: the level and dynamics of GDP, significance of agriculture and rural areas, and performance of the business sector in comparison to the domestic economy. The analysis proves that the labour market in Lublin Voivodeship can be characterized by relatively weaker performance of its demand side.

Przesłanki polityki zatrudnienia dowodzą rosnącego znaczenia zagadnienia rynków pracy dla rozwoju gospodarczego Unii Europejskiej. Realizowana od 2000 roku Strategia Lizbońska nadała kwestii zatrudnienia priorytetowego charakteru, coraz bardziej integrując w swoich ramach politykę zatrudnienia z polityką spójności. Działania Wspólnoty stworzyły beneficjentom polityki spójności większe możliwości w oddziaływaniu na rynki pracy, jednak efekty polityki w poszczególnych krajach są zróżnicowane.

Conclusions are based primarily on results of two surveys: of schools in the City of Lublin, and of employers already cooperating with those schools. The general conclusion is that many of these barriers results from strongly decentralized entrepreneurial sector.

It is argued that the OECD EPL Indices play an important role in measuring the strictness of the employment protection legislation. Specifically, calculating the EPL Indices enables applying quantitative methods to assess the impact of the strictness of the labour market regulations on the unemployment level and its dynamics. It also makes it possible to compare the EPL level among the OECD countries, and to track or evaluate labour market reforms. Even if as a result of modifications, the OECD Indices have become a more accurate measure of EPL, this measure should be interpreted with caution. In this context, the case of Poland reveals that regulation for employees on open-ended contracts is very lax, though the uncertainty in terms of trial length and courts decisions remains an issue. Legislation of fixed-term contracts is rather lax, however utterly flexible civil contracts and ‘bogus’ self-employment are being abused. From a different angle, regulations for collective dismissals and on Temporary Work Agencies seem to be moderately restrictive.

However, a significant cross-country heterogeneity with respect to the perception, implementation, and outcomes of smart governance can be observed. This chapter discusses the application of a smart tool for recognizing neighborhood satisfaction implemented in Lublin (Poland). The chapter also presents broader patterns in “smart city” development in Poland and then specifically in Lublin. In this way, it contributes to the discussion on addressing intra-urban inequalities, seen as a part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The data was gathered from residents who took part in online voting on participatory budget projects and who were asked to assess the public amenities in their neighborhoods. Given the fact that the participants accounted for 2% of the urban population, the research allows us to recognize differences in neighborhood satisfaction within urban areas—a problem that is difficult to address empirically and thus rarely explored, yet critical in efforts to make urban areas more inclusive and sustainable. The results show that Lublin is not affected by strong spatial inequalities in terms of residential satisfaction with public goods provision, while existing moderate differences concern mainly infrastructure for urban mobility, air quality, and sports facilities and amenities. We identify some spatial patterns in neighborhood satisfaction and compare the results with insights from objective data. We also consider how our tool might contribute to the “smart governance” concept and to the sustainable spatial development of urban areas.

Human capital migration and its consequences for regional development are among the central issue... more Human capital migration and its consequences for regional development are among the central issues discussed in migration and regional literature. A growing interest has been recently observed in student migration as a driver of brain exchange between regions and countries. Furthermore, poor sending areas are often considered to be severely affected by the brain drain. Nevertheless, firm empirical evidence on the degree of the human capital selectivity of youth migration is actually scarce due to measurement and methodological limitations. This paper sheds some light on human capital redistribution across regions and countries by estimating the intensity and human capital selectivity of youth emigration from the Lubelskie Region (Poland)-one of the poorest, peripheral EU regions. A survey of ten thousand secondary school graduates allowed an analysis of mobility patterns in relation to school-leaving exam results being a proxy for human capital, as well as to sex, type of school, and former place of residence. This study revealed, that roughly 20% of graduates leave their home region and predominantly continue education on higher education institutions. Migration rates across the youth characteristics followed by the results of logit regression model confirm that migration outflows, and particularly interregional moves, are a highly selective phenomenon. With regard to international mobility, student migration is positively selected as well, but economic migration among graduates electing not to continue education turns out to be adversely selected. Overall, the brain drain on the EU's peripheral areas in Poland with respect to the emigration of secondary school graduates should be regarded as a selective outflow of the most talented graduates to the leading academic centers, rather than massive migration of all graduates.

Jest to oryginalne rozwiązanie problemu naukowego, dotychczas niewystarczająco rozpoznanego […]. Trzeba w szczególności podkreślić szerokie osadzenie tematu w teorii ekonomii i najnowszej literaturze światowej pozwalającej uchwycić prawidłowo istotę procesów przystosowawczych na rynkach pracy oraz ich determinanty, wykorzystanie bogatej bazy danych statystycznych w celu identyfikacji cech dostosowań rynków pracy w okresach gorszej koniunktury, wykorzystanie różnorodnych informacji faktograficznych o programach i instrumentach polityki państwa w okresie globalnego kryzysu, zastosowanie różnorodnych metod badawczych w rozprawie, od najprostszych do bardziej zaawansowanych, m.in. ekonometrycznych.
