Streszczenie
Postępujący proces starzenia się polskiego społeczeństwa stanowi coraz większe
wyzwanie dla rynku pracy, a co więcej, trudności te będą się pogłębiać.
Wydłużenie okresu aktywności zawodowej staje się więc koniecznością.
Poland – like many other countries – faces the necessity of undertaking actions that encourage
extending working life. Despite a significant improvement, the economic activity of Poles aged
50+, especially women, still is the lowest in Europe. The aim of the study is the assessment of the
individual factors of extending working life in Poland. The study was conducted on the basis of
Eurostat and GUS data, as well as the individual data set of Social Diagnosis 2015. In the statistical
analysis logistic regression was used. The results confirm, that among the most important determinants
of extending working life, human capital of workers takes the significant place. Both
the health condition as well as the level of education and competencies extended the chances
of delaying retirement.
