Ocena wahań sezonowych bezrobocia w nadmorskich regionach turystycznych Polski i Hiszpanii
Assessment of seasonal unemployment fluctuations in the coastal tourist regions of Poland and Spain

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is to compare and assess the diversity of seasonal unemployment fluctuations on the coastal labour markets in tourist regions of Poland and Spain. Detailed analyses concerned the level and distribution of monthly seasonal unemployment fluctuations on the coastal and peripheral labour markets. The Census X-12 ARIMA procedure was used to extract the seasonal component. Data on the monthly number of unemployed persons from January 2006 to December 2015 were used in the analysis. For Poland, data were obtained from labour offices in powiats and for Spain from the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (Ministerio de Empleo y Seguridad Social). International comparisons show that higher seasonal fluctuations in unemployment are characteristic of tourist areas in Poland (both coastal and peripheral). Throughout the year the similar distribution of seasonal unemployment fluctuations was observed on the labour markets in both countries.
