In Poland, institutions that perform public tasks in the field of the labour market are state employment services, including District Labour Offices (PUPs). They try to restore the unemployed to the open labour market using active forms of their activation. The activities of PUPs in the field of customer activation are subject to annual evaluation. According to the “Act on Employment Promotion and on Labour Market Institutions”, four indicators were selected for the evaluation of the functioning of labour offices in 2015–2017. Among them, the employment effectiveness index is very important, as its level allows us to assess to what extent active forms of activation of the unemployed implemented by PUPs contribute to the return of the unemployed to employment. This assessment is so important that in Poland as well as in other countries research has been conducted on both active forms of activation of the unemployed and employment policies. The aim of the research whose results are presented in the article was to identify factors influencing the employment effectiveness index achieved by District Labour Offices (PUPs) operating in Poland in 2016. Selected statistical methods were used, including correlation and regression analysis as well as multidimensional correspondence analysis. It turned out that the methods applied did not make it possible to unambiguously identify factors which had significantly affected the employment effectiveness index calculated on the basis of all forms of activation. It may turn out that clearer relations could be identified if this indicator was considered separately for particular forms of activation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly affected the increase in unemployment, including the change in the structure of long-term unemployment. Long-term unemployment increases with some delay after the recession. This article analyses the changes in the situation of long-term unemployed people in Poland before and during the COVID-2019 pandemic, presents actions taken at that time by employment and social services, and presents recommendations for the future, considering information collected from employees of poviat labour offices. In Poland, the reasons for the persistence of a relatively high level of long-term unemployment in general may include the following factors: registration in labour offices of people who, mainly for health reasons, are not ready to participate in processes of restoring the ability to work, a limited amount of funds allocated to activation of the unemployed activities and, finally, the lack of mechanisms rewarding the public employment services (PES) for bringing the long-term unemployed back to the labour market.

We investigate the problem of simultaneous determination of labour market institutions and outcomes in single equation multi-country estimations by presenting an empirical analysis of unemployment and union density in 20 OECD countries. When explicitly modelling potential endogeneity and heterogeneity, our results suggest that unions contribute to explaining unemployment in different ways than previously thought. In addition, the relationship between unemployment and union density is heterogeneous across countries, depending on the way in which income support for the unemployed is organized.

CLASSIFICATION OF LEGAL MEASURES TO COUNTERACT UNEMPLOYMENT: SELECTED ASPECTSSummary In order to effectively counteract unemployment the state needs to adopt and pursue an appropriate policy. The law is obviously one of the instruments which the state can use to curb unemployment. In particular, labour law regulations serve as an institutional and legal framework used by the state to achieve its goals within the area of fighting unemployment. The present article focuses on the classification of legal measures of counteracting unemployment as defined by the Polish Act of 20th April 2004 on the Promotion of Employment and Labour Market Institutions. The author defines two areas of fighting unemployment. The first area comprises measures taken by the state to assist the unemployed in finding new jobs and help them to adapt to the requirements of the labour market. The second area includes the state’s actions to create new jobs and the occupational activation of the unemployed. The author emphasises the fact that certain measures for counteracting unemployment are addressed specifically to groups whose social and demographic status puts them at greater risk of unemployment.

Introduction. Peculiarities of cost behaviour and specificity of their modelling in the production of metallurgical products are considered. It is established that the definition of the volume of costs and cost of metallurgical products is regulated by P (C) BO 16 "Costs" and has sectoral features that involve the application of various methods of accounting for costs and calculating the cost of production. The main external and internal factors influencing the behaviour of expenses are determined. Effective methods for study of the dynamics of expenses at the enterprises of the metallurgical industry are offered. It has been established the following factors: business functions, investigated object of cost calculation and choice of method of cost calculation influence the behaviour of expenses. The function of costs of production of metallurgical products with the help of means of economic and mathematical modelling of correlation and regression analysis is constructed. The use of such cost response indicators as factors of comparison of seasonal behaviour costs and business activity of metallurgical production output has been proved. The prospects of application of the obtained econometric model in the practical economic activity of the enterprise for making effective management decisions both in the short-term and long-term perspective are determined. Purpose. The article aims to highlight the peculiarities of formation of the accounting information about expenses at the enterprises of the metallurgical industry; to highlight the factors affecting the behaviour of costs; to investigate the behaviour of the expenses of the enterprise of metallurgical products and to develop the economic and mathematical model of total expenses; present the stages of a comprehensive study of cost behaviour. Method (methodology). Method of system analysis, methods of causal analysis, method of correlation and regression analysis, table and graphical methods, dynamic series method (chain change coefficients) have been used in this research. Results. Features of cost formation of metallurgical production have been highlighted. The factors influencing the behaviour of expenses taking into account the seasonal component have been presented. The cost function has been developed and complemented by its cost response indicators for the purpose of integrated assessment of cost behaviour and the adoption of effective managerial decisions.
