Summary/Abstract: High unemployment in Poland is an important socio-economic problem. Unemployment in Poland is mainly structural, which is reflected in structural imbalances between labour demand and labour supply with respect to vocational qualifications, professions and spatial deployment. The main factor determining unemployment is the necessity for structural changes in the Polish economy caused by its transformation and integration with the European Union, aimed at enhancement of economic innovation, competitiveness and effectiveness. The main goal of the paper is to show differences in unemployment in various groups of the labour force in the Polish labour market.
