Demograficzna uwarunkowania reprodukcji potencjalnych zasobów pracy w Polsce w latach 1950-1960

Abstract

The article contains an analysis of changes in size and structure of Poland's population in the working age between 1950 and 1980. The data base for this analysis were four postwar population censuses in 1950, 1960, 1970, and 1978, as well as current statistics. The analysis is focused on the influence exerted by three basic demographic processes i.e. defeminization process, population aging ргосеss, and urbanization process on changes in structure of labor resources and their reproduction. It ends with a balance of population in the working age, and of special cognitive value are coefficients of replacement of labour resources leaving their working age with resources entering this population group contained in the balance. The performed analysis of changes in basic demographic processes and their impact on size and structure of reproduction of potential labour resources allowed to reveal certain regularities, which should be taken into account while formulating principles of perspective employment policy.
