Przemiany w strukturze aktywności ekonomicznej osób w wieku 50+ w Polsce

The paper presents an analysis of changes in the structure of economic activity of the population in the older working age (50–64 years) in Poland, divided into three age groups. The study period covered the years 1993 to 2013. In addition to classical measures of structure, the synthetic measures of the intensity in structure transformation were used. They were described with the use of base value or year-over-year comparisons, an important complement to the traditional methods in this field. The study revealed little change in the structure of economic activity covered by the study in a dynamic, whereby the lowest stability was observed in the age group 55–59 years. In addition, during the period 2006–2013 an increase in the involvement of mature and older people in the labor market was observed.
