Summary/Abstract: Given Poland’s aging population, maintaining the labor supply is a major long-term policy challenge. This study investigates thedeterminants of individual decisions to leave the labor force. The flow probabilities were estimated using the rotating panel datafrom the 2010–2019 Polish Labor Force Survey (PLFS). We find that these decisions depend not only on life-cycle moment, edu-cational level, and work experience, but also on family arrangements and work-life preferences. We also discuss that agriculturalemployment can be considered a labor force buffer in rural areas.
