The impact of the unemployed population structure on the level of employment effectiveness

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the extent to which the registered unemployed population structure analyzed by selected categories of demographic characteristics affects the employment efficiency index. The coefficients of Pearson correlation and multiple correlation between the employment efficiency index and demographic characteristics were used as research tools. The coefficients were calculated for county labor offices operating in the individual Voivodships in 2018, and were used to detect regularities regarding the correlations between these magnitudes for the individual voivodships. It turned out that the research failed to render unequivocal results. The strength of the relationships between the examined variables at the country level (for all county labor offices) was far lower than that observed for the individual Voivodships. Each Voivodship appeared to demonstrate a different set of demographic features having a significant impact on the employment efficiency index, while the directions of such impact frequently varied between the Voivodeships, as well.
