This book describes systems of forecasting labour demand used in selected Member States of the European Union. The analysis of these systems, which may be seen as examples of the so called best practices, has led to the formulation of recommendations for the new Polish model and system of employment forecasting that is being built within the EU co-funded project "Analysis of the processes on the Polish labour market and in the area of social integration in the context of conducted economic policy", Task 2 "Establishing the integrated forecasting and information system providing employment forecasts".
The recommendations are of general as well as of specific nature, and stem from experiences related to the implementation of forecasting systems in the EU countries. The system of forecasting labour demand used in the Czech Republic is presented in the third chapter of book.
The system has been developed in line with the CEDEFOP's methodology and enables making forecasts for different countries, including Poland - as a result, preliminary employment forecasts for Poland are a part of the chapter.
