      abstract = {The creation of non-farm jobs in rural areas is one of the  key challenges of rural development policy of Poland.  Socio-economic processes in the Polish rural areas result  in shaping the rural economy in which the role of  agriculture diminishes in terms of share in both GDP and  employment. New economic functions do not replace the  “fading” agriculture as the main source of income in rural  areas to the extent that is satisfactory economically and  socially. Low diversification of local economy and limited  taxable economic base are serious growth handicaps, hitting  remote rural areas the most. In the view of the  above-mentioned phenomena, this paper tackles the problem  of quality of rural labor analyzing its characteristics and  the possibility to deploy it in non-farm sectors of the  economy. The objective of the paper is to explore the  effectiveness of the Common Agricultural Policy instruments  in stimulating off-farm job creation in rural areas over  the last 12 years of Poland’s membership in the European  Union versus the country’s needs in this area. In this  context the paper argues for strategic re-orientation of  the CAP objectives enabling more effective job creation in  rural areas.},
