Summary/Abstract: The search for a way to effectively use available labor resources, especially among young people, is one of the basic challenges of the twenty-first century. In recent years, almost regardless of cyclical changes, both high unemployment as well as economic and educational inactivity among young people (the so-called NEETs – Not in Education, Employment or Training) are maintained. The purpose of this article is to present the situation of young people in the labor market in Poland in 2004-2016. A critical review of the literature and an analysis of statistical data (desk research) from public statistics, primarily data from the European Statistical Office Eurostat and the Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS), were performed to achieve the objective adopted in the article.
