THE IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES ON THE LABOUR MARKET IN KUJAWSKO-POMORSKIE VOIVODESHIP

Better understanding of the changes on the labour market would be impossible without observing demographic processes and their appropriate interpretation. According to the current state of knowledge, demographic changes in Poland and an estimation of their future tendency are expected to play the key role in shaping of the labour market. Adverse demographic changes observed in Poland will result in the increasing reduction of potential labour resources with the aging of these resources. The aim of this study was to present demographic changes on the labour market in the years 1999-2016 in Kujawsko-pomorskie voivodeship as well as their expected consequences for the current and future situation on the labour market. Basic methods of statistical data analysis were used in the study, namely, the structure analysis and fixed-rate indexes of dynamics. The online resources of the Central Statistical Office, i.e. Demography Base and Local Data Bank provided the main source of demographic data and labour market information. As far as the analysis of labour market data is concerned, the author obtained information from the representative Study of Professional Activity of the Population (Polish: BAEL).
