The changes introduced into the Badanie Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności (BAEL) from 2021 onwards which concerned mainly the subjective range of the survey and definitions as well as the way of specification of particular populations of persons on the labour market, had an impact on comparability of the results obtained before and after the survey revision[1].
For the purpose of comparative analyses on the longer time series, Statistics Poland prepared recalculated historical BAEL data for the years 2010–2020, compiled with the use of the changed from 2021 onwards definitions concerning specification of the main categories of persons on the labour market, i.e. the employed, unemployed and economically inactive persons.
Moreover, due to the revision of historical data related to the change of the basis for generalisation of the PL- LFS[2] results, the data for 2019-2020 recalculated after the changes introduced from 2021 were also presented in accordance with the new basis for generalisation of the results (according to the 2021 National Census).
