ABSTRACT
Given Poland’s aging population, maintaining the labor supply is a major long-term policy challenge. This study investigates the
determinants of individual decisions to leave the labor force. The flow probabilities were estimated using the rotating panel data
from the 2010–2019 Polish Labor Force Survey (PLFS). We find that these decisions depend not only on life-cycle moment, educational
level, and work experience, but also on family arrangements and work-life preferences. We also discuss that agricultural
employment can be considered a labor force buffer in rural areas.
