Abstract
Polish women are better educated than men. In 2011, 22.8% women and 18.2% men aged over 25 had higher education. For every 100 men with higher education, there are 139 women with such education. It is also worthwhile to add that 56.1% of women aged over 18 have secondary, post-secondary or higher education, while for men the percentage is 47.1%. Despite the above-mentioned differences favouring women, in Poland, the level of professional activity among women is lower than among men. In 2014, only 48.5% of women aged 15 and more were economically active, while this percentage for the same population of men was 64.7%. Thus, the population of those economically inactive is to a large extent feminised – women constitute over 61% of this population. In 2014, there were 546 economically inactive men per 1000 economically active, and as many as 1062 economically inactive women per 1000 economically active. The employment rate of women is also noticeably lower than the employment rate of men. In 2014, it was 43.8% in case of women and – by over 15 p.p. more – in case of men. The employment rate of women in Poland is one of the lowest in Europe [Sikorska 2012:65]. (fragment of the text)
