 Young Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young Poland (Polish Młoda Polska) is a modernist period in Polish art, literature and music, covering roughly the years between 1890 and 1918.
The group of writers following this concept was less organised and the writers themselves covered a large variety of topics in their writings: from sense of mission of a Pole in Stefan Żeromski's prose, through social inequality described by Władysław Reymont and Gabriela Zapolska to criticism of Polish society and Polish history by Stanisław Wyspański.
In music, the term Young Poland is applied to an informal group of composers that include Karol Szymanowski, Grzegorz Fitelberg, Ludomir Różycki and possibly Mieczysław Karłowicz.

 ILO -Youth unemployment in Hungary and Poland - Maarten Keune - Employment Sector
More and more it becomes clear that young people are experiencing great difficulties in conquering a position on the labour market and there is fear that large groups of young people will be excluded from employment from the start of their career.

As a result, the rate for young adults increased mildly to 27.6 per cent (still double the general unemployment rate of 13.9 per cent), however, for teenagers it jumped further to 45.3 per cent (3.3 times the general rate) and the share of young people in total unemployment rose to 30.2 per cent.

Young artists responded to the most recent developments in a variety of ways, but the most typical attitude was for them to turn their backs on all generally recognised values, and instead to focus on non-artistic world, or to penetrate one’s own identity.
