In Poland, relatively few young people combine study with work

Relatively few young people in Poland juggle study and work. In 2021, only 12% of pupils and students aged 15-29 were working. This is almost two times less than the EU average, analysts from the Polish Economic Institute reported. The highest share of working students is in the Netherlands.

In Poland more or less every third student takes up paid employment. Among people studying undergraduate or engineering studies, the percentage of people working in 2021 was 27%. In the case of master's studies, it was 39%.
