The size and usage level of labour resources co-determine the economic potential and strength. The above aspect is particularly important in Polish rural areas, which remain affected by side effects of the economic transformation. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the size and usage levels of labour resources related to Polish rural areas after Poland’s accession to the EU, compared to earlier figures. The subject matter of this study is labour resources in Polish rural areas seen in the context of demographic trends and economic developments over the 2002−2050 period. Polish rural areas have a significant population potential and strong labour resources. Over time, their potential will become increasingly important for the entire country, especially considering the progressing urban depopulation. Later in the study period, the population’s professional situation was steadily improving on a year-to-year basis. This was reflected by the consistent increase of the economic activity rate and employment rate, and by the declining unemployment rate.
