Abstract
The pace of change in contemporary reality creates a need for fresh data to diagnose the impact of this change on the labour market. Opportunities to meet these expectations are provided by data resources collected in registers and administrative systems directly or indirectly related to employment. Experimental work carried out on the adaptation of data from these sources for statistical purposes shows that, for instance, data on employed persons calculated on the basis of the resources of the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS) allow analyses to be carried out taking into account, i.a., the generations. Currently, there are four generations on the labour market in Poland: the Baby Boomers, X, Y and Z, which differ in terms of their value system, motivation to work, expectations and loyalty to employers.
