Abstract:

The situation in the labour market in Poland indicates a significant gap in opportunities for men and women. This is evidenced by persisting trends, such as a decline in economic activity of women, a growing level of female unemployment, a widening wage gap between men and women and lower presence of women in senior positions and in boards of directors. The more difficult situation of women in the labor market is due to a number of barriers and obstacles hampering their career growth. The objective of the paper is to show that women are still found in an unprivileged situation and there is a long way to go to ease the situation. The undertaken actions such as gender quotas are a starting point.
