Kobiety-matki i ich powrót na rynek pracy po urodzeniu dziecka w wynikach badań

A number of available studies demonstrate that re-entering the labour market after childbirth is difficult for the new mothers, and taking care of their child until it reaches the kindergarten age (4 y.o.) too often means an irreversible departure from the labour market towards chronic joblessness. The article attempts to diagnose the situation of new mothers trying to re-enter the labour market on the basis of both nation-wide Polish studies and the author's own local surveys. On this basis, the author attempts to identify the most desirable changes to be introduced.
