Therefore, the labour market outcomes of graduates provide an important perspective for future students, higher education institutions, as well as decision makers at the national level. The Polish Graduate Tracking System (ELA), based on administrative data, is designed to monitor graduates' outcomes in the labour market by type of studies, higher education institution, as well as individual curricula. Results of the first two years of graduate tracking show that the outcomes vary by study area, but also change over time. While in the first months after graduation, aspects such as prior experience in the labour market and place of residence have a substantial effect on employment chances, in the longer run, they lose their importance relative to other factors.

Additionally, relatively shorter working lives of those that have lower earnings, increase the risk of receiving lower benefits.

W związku ograniczeniami budżetowymi i dynamiką procesów demograficznych rośnie znaczenie kapitałowych systemów emerytalnych, zarówno prywatnych, jak i publicznych. Tematem niniejszego opracowania są zagadnienia związane z benchmarkami kapitałowych funduszy emerytalnych w szerokim kontekście: koncepcji i celów tworzenia, konstrukcji, wpływu na zarządzających oraz wpływu na inwestorów. O ile w przypadku systemu repartycyjnego organizator nie ma wpływu na stopę zwrotu (wynikającą ze wzrostu płac będącego pochodną wzrostu gospodarczego), o tyle w systemie kapitałowym realna stopa zwrotu z kapitału jest istotnie uzależniona od decyzji inwestycyjnych zarządzającego. Co więcej, oprócz organizatora i uczestnika w systemie kapitałowym można wskazać również zarządzającego, który często reprezentuje inną instytucję niż organizator. Benchmark jako kryterium oc...

We focus on three major issues, linked to different moments in women' s life course. Firstly, we look at the youngest women's difficulties related to school-to-work transitions and the beginning of the working careers as well as the challenges related to childbearing. In the next step we analyze the patterns of lifelong learning among women and its potential to improve their human capital, skills and thus productivity, labour incomes and employment potential. We emphasize the necessity to adapt a gender perspective of lifelong learning, as different forces are affecting the career and educational choices and mobility of women and men, and these also vary over time. Finally, we investigate the labour market attachment of older cohorts and discuss the most prospective options of extending females working lives.
