Influence of outflow of Polish citizens on the labour market and the development of entrepreneurship in Poland. Assessment attempt

The aim of the article is to describe the influence of paid emigration of Polish citizens on employment in enterprises and enterprise development in Poland, in the year 2007. The assessment has been prepared on the basis of survey of 6,100 randomly selected enterprises in the whole country, conducted in May and June 2008. The results of the survey showed that there was a considerable shortage of skilled workers with vocational and technical education at the labour market in Poland. However, paid emigration of Poles was not the only reason for the lack of employees in some sectors of economy. The shortage did not significantly limit possibilities of enterprise development until now.
