While GDP performance in Poland was exceptional, the performance of the Polish labour markets has been less satisfactory. This chapter discusses the institutional arrangement behind setting labour market policies in Poland. We build narratives concerning the evolution of three major labour market policies: active employment policies, social insurance and employer-employee relations. We ask three questions: (i) how have active labour market policies been assisting to combat unemployment; (ii) how have social security reforms been assisting in easing the consequences of demographic transition; and (iii) how have gender equality policies contributed to alleviating the situation of women? We thus portray the evolution of three main labour market policies. We show how these policies fell short of reaching the full potential for transforming the Polish labour market from a centrally planned fiasco into a modern and functionally inclusive environment.
