Employee compensation is the factor that determines the directions of economic development. Yet, at the same time, the structure of the economy influences employee compensation. Due to the importance of the structure of the economy, the purpose of the paper is to examine the structure factors that influence compensation in the EU Member States in the period 2013–2020. In particular, it investigates the importance of traditional and modern economic structures for employee compensation. In the paper, a multi-level analysis was applied. The research showed that the systematic transformation of the economy towards modern branches in favour of the traditional ones caused an increase of compensation. This is an alternative result in relation to some observations in the subject literature, where it is often emphasized that robotisation and AI cause an increase in unemployment and a decrease in employee compensation. On the other hand, it is impossible to completely replace the traditional sectors. Hence, the most appropriate direction seems to be a gradual increase in efficiency in underdeveloped sectors of the economy without abandoning them entirely.

The purpose of this paper is to present the main results of the conducted research on the identified challenges to the agriculture of Ukraine caused by the aggressive Russian military invasion, and the economic assessment of the possibilities of overcoming them. It was assumed that the scale of challenges and the real consequences of the mentioned aggression are astonishing and unique in terms of size and importance, but the actions envisaged and already aimed at overcoming them are fully justified and have adequate financial support. The research methodology was based on the use of a dialectic approach to identify and study the main challenges for agriculture in Ukraine, which are present as a result of the military aggression of the Russians. Within this approach, the method of historical and logical unity was used in the study of socio-economic phenomena in combination with methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, induction, systematisation, and generalisation. Studies have shown that Ukraine faces numerous challenges and threats as a result of Russia’s military aggression which has caused enormous damage and losses to the country, both economic and social. Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine shocked the entire civilised world. At the same time, any challenges provide new opportunities. Ukraine will rise with renewed quality and will turn from a country of raw materials into a country of innovations, becoming a country of inventors, entrepreneurs, and people who are able to achieve economic breakthroughs. Ukrainian agriculture was perhaps the worst affected by the war, as a large part of the country’s territory is either under temporary occupation or under direct military clashes. However, in the near future, the development of this industry will become the economic engine for the revival of Ukraine and beyond, which will also have a positive international effect.

Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon, hard to define but of interest to many experts in social sciences. When it comes to economic sciences, the economic dimension of poverty and its consequences are underlined. The European Union pays attention to the problem of developmental disparities as well as the need to reduce poverty and disparities. It is reflected both in the EU treaties and in the EU activities undertaken within both the Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion Policy and the Lisbon Strategy, the Europe 2020 Strategy, as well as the EU reaction to the numerous challenges facing the EU in the 21 st century (the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian aggression against Ukraine). The main theoretical and cognitive aim of the research is to present the differentiated perception of the problem of poverty in economic theory and EU policy decisions. The main aim of the empirical part of the research is to identify and evaluate regional disparities in poverty using the example of Poland’s regions (provinces). The research was conducted with the application of several scientific methods, including literature studies, descriptive and comparative analysis, and critical thinking. Because of the complexity of the category of poverty and poverty conditions, the selected method of multivariate comparative analysis, i.e. the TMD introduced by Hellwig, was adopted. The conducted research indicated that poverty in Poland’s regions is unequally distributed, which results from their location in relation to richer markets, infrastructure conditions, and economic situation.

Income distribution can cause large-scale transformations in social structure, as well as in the quality of life. The aim of the paper is to compare the economic situation of households in Poland and the Czech Republic. The level and the dispersion of income distributions of households and the level of poverty due to the selected socio-economic characteristics of a respondent or a household are analysed. All the conclusions are based on the results of European Quality of Life Surveys. To describe the distribution of net equivalent income, the Singh-Maddala model is used. The estimation parameters are obtained by means of the maximum likelihood method. The descriptive statistics characterising the total situation in the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in selected socio-economic groups, are calculated. To analyse the extent, depth and severity of poverty in the countries in question, the aggregate indices are obtained. The conducted research shows a high similarity for both distribution of equivalent income and the socio-economic groups particularly exposed to monetary poverty.

The success of any venture is largely determined by the proper selection of financing sources for the conducted activity. To attempt to eliminate the difficulties related to functioning in competitive conditions, one should use various available sources of financing. The availability of appropriate sources of financing makes operating and investment activities possible and guarantees financial security. In addition, it has an impact on the decisions made by the organisation and determines its plans and strategic goals. Access to financing instruments covering the needs of a company to a greater extent may also constitute a source of competitive advantage in a dynamically changing market. The main goal of this study is to show the sources of financing the activities that determine the initiation and functioning of innovative integration links in agribusiness. The financial system determines not only effective functioning, but also subsequent dynamic expansion of cluster initiatives. In further parts of the study, attempts were made to present the sources of financing and their functions in the activities of an organisation, and the impact of clusters on the growth of the economy’s potential. Forms of financing cluster initiatives were also reviewed. To achieve this goal, the results of empirical research were used, showing the forms and dilemmas of the financing clusters. They were carried out in 2015 among 80 entrepreneurs-participants of four agri-food clusters, and among 4 representatives of institutions managing these clusters in Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The study confirmed the thesis that properly functioning cluster structures contribute to an increase in the competitiveness of entities and the level of innovation in the economy, eliminating inequalities in their development, both at the local, regional and international levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the work and life of young people. Against this group, less favourable values of employment and unemployment rates are recorded than for experienced people, due to their lack of work experience, specialist knowledge and skills. These premises are the basis for employing young people with less favourable contract terms. The purpose of the paper was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the situation of young people in the labour market. To achieve the goal, an analysis of the literature on the subject, studies and reports presented on the websites of institutions dealing with the labour market was carried out, as well as an analysis of basic labour market measures using statistical data. Own research was also carried out. The analyses of the literature and statistical data showed that young people were particularly hard-hit by the consequences of the pandemic – unemployment in this group increased significantly and the percentage of NEET increased. In addition, the entry of new generations into the labour market contributed to the difficulty in keeping a job. At the same time, the results of research conducted among young people from Podkarpackie Province prove that the respondents did not suffer significantly from the negative consequences of the pandemic. Most of them did not lose their jobs and were not forced to change their jobs. Many employers did not reduce personnel costs, which made it possible for them to maintain their current standard of living.

The purpose of the article is to explain the impact of knowledge capital on the competitive advantages of companies from the biomedical sector. The primary research period is 2016–2021. The study selected four biomedical enterprises that, during the pandemic, were involved in the production and distribution of vaccines against the COVID-19 virus and, at that time, showed the highest level of effectiveness. The surveyed companies include Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna and Sinovac. In the course of the research, a hypothesis was the strong competitive positions of the selected companies resulted from the effective transfer of knowledge capital into intangible assets, and the science research and development expenses incurred for many years turned out to be profitable investments. In order to verify the hypothesis, the methods of financial analysis of enterprises were used, including vertical and horizontal balance sheet analyses, cost structure assessment and efficiency assessment. The pandemic period had a mobilising effect on companies that previously conducted advanced research on the use of mRNA technology in the fight against infectious diseases. The capital of knowledge in intangible fixed assets turned out to be the primary factor enhancing the competitive advantages of these companies on a global market. The successes of the surveyed economic units occurred during the global crisis related to the pandemic. During this time, many entities from the service sector, operating in direct contact with clients, were losing the foundations for further operations, turnover and profits dropped sharply, and the overall level of debt was rapidly increasing. The economic space has polarised significantly, and inequalities between enterprises and sections of each sector have increased.

The natural and economic sciences share at least one paradigm, that is, the matter-energy dualism in physics and the asset-capital dualism in economics. In economic science, especially accounting theory, dualism is a fundamental principle that leads to the explanation of the abstract nature of capital and the identification of the thermodynamic basis of this scientific category. The realisation of these relations contributed to the development of the theory of capital, which thus entered new paths as the theory of human capital, especially its part on the measurement and behaviour of the employee’s personal capital. Consequently, the knowledge of the potential constant of economic growth has been solidified. More recently, thanks to a more precise understanding of the transformations that are the subject of thermodynamics, the conclusion has emerged that the aforementioned constant also determines the rate at which time runs. Analyses and empirical studies confirm this hypothesis, which has opened the way for the formulation of a definition of time.

The aim of the article is to identify the determinants of the development of startups perceived by representatives of generation Z in Poland. It is important to obtain an answer to the research question: what determines the development of startups to the greatest extent? The goal was achieved through a review of the literature, conducting a survey on a group of 500 members of generation Z, i.e. people entering the labour market, who are most prone to setting up startups, and analysing the results obtained. Based on the analysis of the literature on the subject, an attempt was made to identify the determinants of startup success. Based on this, a questionnaire was created, which was used in to gather data. The survey was conducted in May–December 2021 via the Internet. The respondents indicated that new technologies and the method of financing determine the development of a startup to the greatest extent. It is also important that the respondents noticed that competences are the key to being able to develop a startup, perceiving intellectual capital as an important determinant of its success. In addition, they identified a large impact of cooperation with corporations on the dynamic development of a startup. The startup is part of the 4.0 era by providing an innovative product to the market. Nevertheless, its success depends on the competencies of the organisation, determining the development of a scalable business model. Startups develop in a dynamically changing environment, so they must be able to effectively use emerging opportunities and avoid threats.

The main goal of the research was to assess the impact of the pandemic crisis on the level of financial exclusion of the inhabitants of the south-eastern region of Poland and to identify the factors determining this financial exclusion. The detailed scope of the research covers the administrative area of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The pandemic period adversely affected many areas of social and economic life. One such area is the level of financial exclusion, which has significantly affected people on low incomes, often living in villages and small towns. South-eastern Poland, including the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, is still one of the economically weaker regions. It should be emphasised that the Podkarpackie Voivodeship has an agricultural and industrial character. It has the largest percentage of people living in villages in the country (58.6%). Following this line of reasoning, the study covered the inhabitants of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship whose places of residence are located in counties with the lowest average monthly gross salary in relation to the national average, and for the purpose of a comparative analysis, inhabitants of the largest voivodeship city – Rzeszów. The research used the diagnostic survey method, and the responses were statistically analysed to observe the relationship between the features: age, sex, education, etc. and a comparative analysis of individual counties. In addition, the method of literature analysis was used, including previous research on similar topics from the period before the pandemic. Based on the research, it can be concluded that people from the counties selected for the study much more often combine financial exclusion with unemployment and low wages. They are concerned about the stability of their income and believe that they are financially excluded.

Wiercioch, Halina Buk","doi":"10.15584/nsawg.2022.3.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15584/nsawg.2022.3.5","url":null,"abstract":"The main goal of the research was to assess the impact of the pandemic crisis on the level of financial exclusion of the inhabitants of the south-eastern region of Poland and to identify the factors determining this financial exclusion. The detailed scope of the research covers the administrative area of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The pandemic period adversely affected many areas of social and economic life. One such area is the level of financial exclusion, which has significantly affected people on low incomes, often living in villages and small towns. South-eastern Poland, including the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, is still one of the economically weaker regions. It should be emphasised that the Podkarpackie Voivodeship has an agricultural and industrial character. It has the largest percentage of people living in villages in the country (58.6%). Following this line of reasoning, the study covered the inhabitants of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship whose places of residence are located in counties with the lowest average monthly gross salary in relation to the national average, and for the purpose of a comparative analysis, inhabitants of the largest voivodeship city – Rzeszów. The research used the diagnostic survey method, and the responses were statistically analysed to observe the relationship between the features: age, sex, education, etc. and a comparative analysis of individual counties. In addition, the method of literature analysis was used, including previous research on similar topics from the period before the pandemic. Based on the research, it can be concluded that people from the counties selected for the study much more often combine financial exclusion with unemployment and low wages. They are concerned about the stability of their income and believe that they are financially excluded. Similar relationships were observed for people over 46 years of age and for people whose average monthly net income per person in the household is less than PLN 1,000.","PeriodicalId":265236,"journal":{"name":"Nierówności Społeczne a Wzrost Gospodarczy","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127295580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
