Współpraca między publicznymi służbami zatrudnienia a agencjami zatrudnienia w zakresie realizacji polityki rynku pracy

This paper addresses the issue of cooperation between public employment services and employment agencies in the implementation of labour market policy in Poland. After a general description of these labour market institutions, the legal framework and forms of carried out cooperation between them are presented, and – based on the results of research and reports – the current areas of cooperation are identified, indicating possible directions for its development. The paper searches for the answers for two fundamental questions: 1. What is the nature of the relationship between public employment services and employment agencies? 2. To what extent does this relationship (cooperation/competition) affect the effectiveness of activities, or how can the cooperation of these entities be strengthened?
