Pokolenie Z na rynku pracy – strukturalne uwarunkowania i oczekiwania
Generation Z on the labour market – structural conditions and expectations

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to provide an insight into the situation on the labour market and professional perspectives related to the education and qualifications of young Poles, representatives of the so-called Z generation (people born after 1995). I review the situation on the basis of an analysis of the existing data and an analysis of the labour market and youth employment.The aim of the analysis is to answer questions about the value of work for young people, its place in the hierarchy of values, attitude to work, how it is described and evaluated by them, what conditions it should meet. The second objective is to describe the reality of work and employment of the youngest generation. The analysis is carried out using political ecology theory and the category of generation, but only at the level of the generation location. In the article I try to reconstruct the way of structural shaping of young people’s lives and choices, assuming that it is the social context that mainly influences young people’s attitudes and views, creating specific structural opportunities and providing them with specific resources.
