training - conclusions from the human capital theory
While the role of classical production factors in the developed economies is diminishing, the fourth production factor - knowledge cumulated in the form of human capital comes to play. Human capital, like the physical one, undergoes development and depreciation processes - therefore, continuous investing in human capital is necessary. On the job training is one of the kinds of investments. Contemporary human capital models point out that, regardless of the type of training (general or specific), the benefits of training are shared by employer as well as employee. Thus, the cost of training should also be shared.

Katarzyna Dojwa - Women in uniformes. Some aspects of duty women in military, police and border guards
Military, police, border guards, as well as fire, customs and prison services are among professions traditionally regarded as " masculine." Their range of duties and certain professional aspects made it almost impossible for women to be allowed to do these jobs, there were just a few women doing them. Nowadays it has changed due to both worldwide and European tendencies and peoples expectations towards the above-mentioned services. The number of women in military, police, border guards and customs service systematically rises, women make bigger and bigger percentage of all female applicants and officials. As regards various groups within the said professions, at the level of recruitment and selection, as well as women service itself there are significant differences. The phenomenon of " glass ceiling" is clearly noticeable as regards women taking high positions.

The concept of universal school voucher is controversial especially. So, is possible to implement a universal voucher program not undermining the public education system, democracy and social cohesion? It seems to be. Such a program was introduced in Sweden.
