Among them the two most important were a broad governing coalition (including trade unions) and the EU accession process strengthening regional policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study considers the policies and strategies that were adopted to help manage the decline in employment. In particular, it focuses on two measures: the Mining Social Package and Special Privileges for Mining Communes. Both instruments, despite their positive aspects, turned out to have significant deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion authors suggest possible improvements for measures used in Poland such as securing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- the re-skilling component of the main labour restructuring instruments,<\/li>
- long-term evaluation measures for each of the instruments,<\/li>
- an viable economic alternative to coal, such as development built on regional comparative advantages (e.g. automotive industry).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
