| Popis: |
Poland is one of the European countries undergoing intensive legal and economic changes (increased retirement age, changes in the labour market) aimed at reducing the negative consequences of population aging and shrinking labour force. The changes in the demographic structure, as evidenced by low birth rate and increasing life expectancy are causing increased pressure on public pension expenditures. Implementation of the procedures intended to increase the retirement age requires obligatory coordination with the measures taken by the state in the area of labour market to support economic activity of individuals within the pre-retirement age bracket. This translates into the need to make the best use of the existing labour market instruments, employment services, and to support effective cooperation between labour market participants – mainly employers, but prospective employees as well. |
