Summary/Abstract: The author’s proposal is to apply the Cox non-proportional hazards model to assess the level of human capital depreciation. The analysis included the unemployed who had been deregistered from the Local Labour Office in Szczecin in 2010. The study focused on the question how successful job seeking efforts were depending on the job seeker’s education level before and after they entered long-term unemployment. The analysis was also conducted according to gender and age. The explanatory variable in the model (i.e. the education level) was defined in a quasi-experimental way. The determined hazard ratios allowed the comparison of prompt employment odds for job seekers in individual education groups to the average odds in all the groups.
