Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of fertility by voivodeships described by theoretical fertility rate and fertility pattern. Among many determinants influencing spatial diversity of reproductive behavior there is among others the situation on the labour market.. Using a linear regression model, we can study regional co-occurrence of these processes and specify the characteristics of unemployment and employment which significantly contribute to voivodeship’s fertility differences.
