Data on the situation of young people clearly show that the situation of young people has made significantly worse in recent years. The intensification of corrective activities in the area of education and training system aims at the reduction of number of people falling out of the education system and improving the access to some services, like education and training. According to the Danish legislator providing the proper and necessary knowledge and skills to young people will improve their situation on the labour market. Adopted by the Danes course of action should perhaps be a benchmark for the process of developing education and training policy and labour market policy in Poland, where a large number of young people have serious problems with entering and staying on the labour market.
