| dc.description.abstract | In Poland, women’s situation in the job market is much worse than men’s. Despite the fact
that statistically women are better educated than men, they have fewer possibilities of finding
a job and constitute the majority of the unemployed. They also have a smaller chance of being
promoted. The higher in the professional hierarchy, the fewer women – proportionally – occupy
these positions. Generally, regardless of the type of job and the position occupied, women
statistically receive lower payment than men.
The Polish legal system has been adapted to the EU standards, where the principles of
equality of sexes are strictly observed, including the issue of equal remuneration for the same
work and the work of the same value; however, in the last couple of years the situation has not
improved, and in some aspects it has been even worse. | en_EN |
