Abstract

In the economies of developed countries, services play a key role; they are the largest source of employment growth. Moreover, services determine the efficiency of production processes and some of them serve the purpose of meeting the social needs of population. Due to the progressing inequality of share in the traditional three-sector division of the economy, the intra-industry changes become more important. Thus, the goal of the article is to present the level of service sector development in Poland between 1995 and 2014, with special focus on intra-sectoral employment changes and employment forecast up to 2022. In order to do so, the author had to consider the following areas: 1) determinants of service sector development, 2) KIBS characteristics, 3) the analysis of employment changes in the service sector and KIBS in 1995-2014, 4) the forecast of services sector and KIBS development in Poland.
