ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with a different problem, and that is how labor markets form in the first place. It examines the growth and expansion of the new private sector and in the development of business values and entrepreneurial aspirations in post-communist countries. The chapter presents data from the first survey of business students in post-communist Poland. It contrasts students in each of the three schools such as Szkda Glowna Handlowa, Szkda Glowna Planozvania i Statystyki, Prywatna and summarizes the construction of measures. Each of the three business schools is unique, although their students tend to be recruited from a common pool of applicants living in or near Warsaw. Student values will be compared to those of all Poles, at the outset of the market transition. The chapter focuses on an extensive battery of questions developed in Britain to measure liberal and authoritarian attitudes cross-culturally. It compares male and female students in terms of values and aspirations.
