Zmiana technologiczna faworyzująca wysokie kwalifikacje czy polaryzacja polskiego rynku pracy – zarys problemu
Skill-biased technical change or polarisation of the Polish labour market – remarks

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a synthetic analysis of the changes in labour demand in Poland in the light of the skill-biased technical change (SBTC) and labour market polarisation hypotheses. Changes in the structure of employment, by ISCO-08 skill levels, in Poland in 2020 horizon indicate that the labour demand shifts towards occupations requiring high skills, with a simultaneous decrease of demand for occupations characterised by low skills requirements, which is consistent with the SBTC hypothesis. However, the dynamics of employment numbers within the ISCO-08 skill level 1 nad 2 and the analysis of changes in real wages by the major occupational groups suggest the possibility of polarisation of the Polish labour market. Thus, a further in-depth analysis of technical change on the Polish labor market is needed.
