Zofii Jacukowicz - The Total Cost of Individual Remuneration and the Level of Underreported Salaries
The paper addresses the total cost of individual remuneration and the likelihood that the high insurance premiums and payroll taxes paid by the employer could increase the amount of underreported remuneration. The analysis of add-ons to the nominal salary with respect to the remuneration paid and the different portions paid by the employee and the employer is presented.
Taking into account that the salaries in Poland are low by comparison with the social minimum, the issue of underreported remuneration is considered. Does the underreporting of salaries arise from the abuse by dishonest employers or is it simply an unavoidable consequence of the inability of a family to satisfy its basic needs on the reported earned income of a single family member (in the case of a several person family even the income of two family members may prove insufficient) is addressed
Wojciecha Jareckiego – The Level of Education versus Constant Training in Poland and EU
In the study author makes an attempt to analyse the role of government in Polish pension system before and after the reform (1998), and changes in the state approach to the social protection system overall. The role was analysed according to three different forms of state’s market interference: regulation, financing and state production. The reform led to changes both in a scope of the state intervention and its methods. In the pension system the state gradually stops to play a role of producer, in favour of regulation and close supervision. The system itself is becoming more of insurance nature.

Results of changes in functioning of the public employment services in Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the consequences of modification of the active and passive labour market measures for the security and flexibility level, are pointed out.
