Whether the presence of affiliates of MNE will prove beneficial to a country’s and region’s labour markets, depends on a variety of factors. Among them the most important role play the MNE’s motives for investing. These, in turn, result from the investor’s strategy on one hand, and region-specific competitive advantages, on the other. Also, it is crucial for public institutions to be active in attracting and negotiating FDI contracts so that they bring about a rise in employment and development of human capital. This article provides an insight into theories discussing the impact of FDI on the receiving economy in the area of employment. It also presents a selection of statistical data concerning the labour markets of Poland and the voivodship of Łódź in order to identify correlation between MNEs’ activities and employment. It also aims to evaluate the quality of public policies targeted at attracting FDI and shaping attitudes of foreign direct investors

Zatrudnienie w przedsiębiorstwach bezpośredniego inwestowania w Polsce w warunkach międzynarodowego kryzysu gospodarczego

The experience of credit crunch and its far-reaching consequences have cast a shadow on foreign direct investment, which is considered one of the key solutions to the problem of unemployment. Along with falling international FDI flows, 2008 saw a decrease in importance of highly-developed countries as recipients of FDI. This paper analyses the stability of vacancies created by transnational corporations in Poland, aiming to assess whether policies focused on attracting FDI prove fruitful in times of economic volatility, cutting costs and axing jobs. And if so, then which regions of Poland succeed in retaining vacancies while others do not manage to compete against the emerging markets? The findings presented in the article might thus support or, alternatively, undermine policies of attracting FDI at the cost of losing incomes from tax and disadvantaging local entrepreneurs in their efforts to acquire highly-qualified labour

Analysis of nutrition and nutritional status of haemodialysis patients

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease of civilization where nutrition is part of the treatment. Diet therapy is difficult as it is necessary to control the intake of: energy, protein and minerals – Na, K, Ca and P in the daily food rations (DFR). Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional status and diets of haemodialysis (HD) patients. Material and methods. The study involved 141 haemodialysis patients, at the average age of 65.9. The patients were divided into groups taking into consideration their sex and diagnosis for diabetes. The information on the diets were collected using a 7-day dietary recall. In the DFRs the amount of energy and 22 nutrients were calculated. Obtained results were compared with requirements for HD patients. Results. Appropriate nutritional status (measured with BMI) was reported for majority of women (70.6%) and almost half of men, however, excessive weight was recognized in every third female patient and more than half male patients, and type I obesity was noted in 7.8% of men. The analysis of the results showed that diets of all examined patients were deficient in energy and protein (except women with diabetes), whereas the consumption of fat was appropriate in both groups of women. The recommendations with respect to the amount of cholesterol were met but dietary fibre was too low. Intake of vitamins B1, D, C, folates and Ca and Mg was lower and intake of vitamin B12 was higher than recommended. Conclusions. Assessment of the coverage of the demand on nutrients in HD patients should not be based on the analysis of their nutritional status (BMI) only but also on the analysis of diets, especially in case of diabetes
