The Labor market Situation and Entrepreneurship in Poland

Entrepreneurship is a component of society's human capital that through its capacity to undertake the risk of business activity and the introduction of innovation plays a role in economic development. At the same time, entrepreneurship is influenced by the possibility of choice between employment, with its secure remuneration, and going into business, where potential profits are encumbered by the risk of failure. It is for this reason that the objective of presented studies is to define the degree to which the situation on the labor market had an impact on the entrepreneurship rate in Poland over the 1993-2003 period.
