The Determinants of Labour Demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship
Piotr Maleszyk
Abstract
The aim of this study is to characterise labour demand in the Lubelskie region and some of its determinants. The first part briefly discusses the theoretical aspects of labour-demand, including its measurement methods and main determinants. The second part offers a statistical analysis of labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship against national trends. It proves that labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship demonstrates slower growth and a less growth-favourable structure, and that the chances to find work there are smaller than in the country as a whole. However, an analysis of the main determinants of labour demand conducted in the next part of the study suggests that lower labour-demand growth in comparison to the country as a whole can be more attributable to factors related to the product-market situation rather than excessive increase in wages. It was also indicated that an important reason for such disproportions might lie in the relatively high significance of rural areas and agriculture, and also in the weaker position of the region’s business sector compared to the country as a whole.
