Decomposition of Changes in Unemployment Rate – the Regional Approach

Summary/Abstract: Regions of Poland differ substantially in terms of level of economic development as well as demographic, social and economic potential. This differences influence level of living and labour market situation. One of the key indicators measuring situation on regional labour markets, apart from rate of employment indicator, is unemployment rate. In classical approach labour market is analysed from the perspective of relation between two forces: demand for workers and supply of workforce. The aim of this article is to identify the impact of demand and supply on unemployment rate fluctuations in a regional perspective. The decomposition of changes in unemployment rate, carried out with the equation developed by M.W. Elsby, B. Hibijn and A. Sahin, has led to the conclusion that dominant impact on changes of unemployment in particular regions of Poland had demand fluctuations, which were subsequently (apart from supply factors) analysed in detail.
