Edukacyjne uwarunkowania rynku pracy

Abstract

Nowadays human being with their great intelligence potential and ability to use it effectively is a valuable source in economy called human capital. What determines the quality of the above mentioned capital is the current educational policy. The educational policy is also one of the factors that affects the situation on the labour market. Moreover, the quality of the educational proposition decides about the future structure of the supply on the labour market. Thus, the essential concern is to define the needs of the labour market according to the local and regional plans of socioeconomic development. The reform of public administration, which was introduced in 1999, created legal bases for functioning of the two new kinds of local government — the district and the autonomous voivodship, next to the parish existing since 1990. The emerging situation resulted in the division of competence. A lot of hitherto existing administration tasks was passed to the local government units, including tasks concerning educational policy and the labour market policy. In this way the above mentioned units became institutions which not only effectively operated particular policies but also thoroughly coordinated all the undertaken operations. Such complex approach to the educational and the labour market policies allows the local government units to influence in the long term the situation on the local and the regional labour market.
