| Tiivistelmä: | This study is based on data from interviews with Poles of working age combined with longitudinal firm-level data which present a detailed view of the transition from a state-dominated to a market economy. Job losses in the state firms and job creation in new private firms are the dominant employment changes. In Poland, a significant proportion of this movement over 1988-1998 period involves a spell of unemployment or exit from the labour force before obtaining a private sector job. This leads to job competition between workers leaving the state sector and those who are out of the labour force or unemployed. Results indicate that movement to the new private sector is more likely to be the result of job loss than the result of people looking for better, higher paying jobs. People working on their own account have higher incomes than wageworkers. They are likely to become owners employing additional workers. It is also revealed that incomes are higher in regions with high rates of job creation and depressed in regions with job destruction. |
