What are the working, employment and unemployment in Poland and how do they compare with the UK?????

All people have their own jobs and life styles. Some of them are workmen, a lot of people work as clerks, others are directors and managers. Some jobs require great effort from us like working in a mine or on the oil platform. Many people, who work as, for example, tour guides or managers have to go abroad and visit many different places all the time. A lot of people don’t have enough time for their families because they devote it to their jobs. We can single out kind of full time part or temporary job or also illegally work.
Part time jobs are available in Poland and England. Most industries and professions are common in offices, pubs shops, factories, cafes and restaurant.(Hampshire 2001). Many young foreigners combine part-time work and study, for example improving their English or studying for a trade or professional qualification.(n.d.) Part-time employees, officially classified as those working less than 16 hours a week in this two country, also have little protection from exploitation by employers, although some employers give part time employees the same rights as full-time employees .(n.d.)
Temporary and casual job differ from part time in that job are usually for a fixed period only, for example from a few hours to a few months, or work may be intermittent.(n.d.)

Anyone who is a Britain citizen, an EU-national haw than Poland may work as self-employment in Britain, which includes partnerships, co-operatives, franchise and commission-only jobs or a private business. (Hampshire 2001).Unlike most other EU countries in this is Poland, there are few restrictions and little red type for anyone wanting to start a business or work as self-employed in Britain. One of the government’s main initiatives for reducing the numbers of unemployed has been to encourage people to start their own businesses.
While in working hours in Britain is very depending on your employer, people position and the type of industry in which you are employed. For example, the official working week in most manufacturing industries is around 37.5 to 40 hours, while many office employees work 35to 38 hours a week .At the other end the scale, some employees in hospital, security, catering and hotels may work up to 100 hours a week, although the averaging these fields is between 50and 60.(Hampshire 2001). However, under the EU social chapter to which Britain is now signatory, the maximum working week is now 48 hours exactly the same how in Poland.
For reasons of safety, employees must have rest breaks during the day and a daily rest period of 11 consecutive hours and a weekly rest period of 24 hours. Instead night-shift working is limited to eight hours a night, averaged over 17 weeks. (n.d.)
Most popular occupation in Poland are similar to those Hungary and the Czech Republic, with opening for consultants and experts, and the English teaching and voluntary work.(Packer 2001) .Speaking polish and other language skills will be necessary for job at other levels, like secretarial work. But in the England also teacher and clerk. (n.d)

After 1989 when communism finished, Poland got huge changes. It started the process of stabilization the economy. Polish market was closed for western countries. It changed. At the beginning in Poland there were few shops, but when the borders opened a lot of companies from western countries came to Poland and set up some new shops, for example supermarkets and new institutions.(Kwak 1998). Before 1989 there weren’t many products in shops, only the most necessary. Together with development of labor market there were more things in shops and now we can buy everything we want. Before 1989 Poland could cooperate only with eastern, communists countries.(n.d) The economy of this countries was bad, so was that in Poland. After 1990 Poland wanted to have such economy like western countries, it made everything to achieve it. The huge impact on development of Polish economy had efforts to join the European Union. Polish market also changed. A state institutions has been changed into private ones. State plants that were unprofitable were closed, and new foreign companies invested money in new work places. By the last 16 years economy together with labor market has changed a lot. (n.d)
Today in Poland there are 20% people who are unemployment. It is very difficult to find job, well paid or even worse-paid job.(Kwak 1998)
People just want to earn money and it is not important for many people of them in which way they will do it.
However, many of jobless people are not really interested in finding work, they just like to complain that they are out of job and money. On the one the hand people without work become more aggressive unemployment and poverty courses growing number of robberies and crimes, but on the other hands it begin for example is better that having no job. 4
Nowadays world unemployment is one of biggest problems in Poland. According to the Douglas(2001), more and more people do not have a work prospects for future. The worth is that particularly government does no care about it in enough and the situation of people who are out of work is getting worse every year. According to Kwak(1998) firstly the polish government should support more small and medium sized firms. Then they will develop faster and will become bigger and they could give work to more employees. Secondary, the government should create the education system which provide people a chance in educate in direction they would like to go. Another way to deal with this problem is to reduce bureaucracy.
This problem is difficult to solve but and England and Poland are more organization who help people in find job for example; worker who lose their job have a right unemployment benefits after they register in the employment office(n.d) They can get income support but this is, usually little money to live on.
Succeeding solution in UK and Poland is employment services. The Employment Services is an executive agency of the department of education and employment and it is job is provide helps for those who have been unemployment.(Hampshire 2001) The employment services has two main methods of assisting the unemployment; by planning people directly in job and be offering guidance and counseling so that people can find the best way return to employment for example thought education or training.(n.d)
Secondary very similar organization is Job center but no appearance in Poland.
Job center is government English organization, office where local companies advertise for employees and where the unemployed.(Hampshire 2001). 5
People can obtain information about government employment and training schemes. The vast majority of job advertised in Job center are manual or low paid and don’t usually induce managerial or professional position, are generally self service although staff are on hand to provide advice and help when required.. Moreover this organization doesn’t deal with profession or industry, they should be able to tell about other sources of information. However many cites in UK have their own employment center for example; “Flame”, “Taurus” or “job shops” where jobs the local city or burgh council are advertised.(Boels 1999)
