Summary/Abstract: Changes of the modern labour market imply the necessity to look for new solutions to solving problems in the area of employment as a part of public policy. One of such possibilities is using the activating potential of social economy entities. The aim of the article is to show the common area of the social economy activities and labour market policy embedded in Polish practice in a conceptual and operational dimension. The author uses the analysis of social economy and labour market policy found in Polish literature and also overviews the National Action Plans for Employment taking into account aspect of social economy activities. The study concludes that the social economy is already partially institutionalized element of the labour market policy in Poland, however it is still unstable and constantly seeking its own lucid imprint on the map of public policies.
