Description
Summary:Knowledge-based economy and cooperation in the conditions of globalisation and the economic integration result in shifts in the job market, which became the cause of development in higher education in Poland. Suitability of the offer of Polish universities to the demands of future employers represents an embodiment of the educational aspirations of future employees. The aim of the article is to analyse the processes that occur in the structure of the studies at universities in correlation to the changes visible on the labour market in individual voivodeships. The study shows the changes that took place in the structure of the education fields chosen by students as well as in the structure of the labour market. It uses measures for structural analyses and examines the intensity, rate and stability of the adaptation of these structures in the years 2008–2014. The study shows differences in the characteristics of adaptive processes in the fields of study and structure of labour markets in voivodeships in Poland.
