Sytuacja zawodowa ludności w Polsce w latach 2010-2012 z uwzględnieniem płci i wieku

The position of women on the labour market is different from that of men so gender - but also age - are characteristics that differentiate those two groups in the labour market statistics. The article presents a diagnosis and an attempt at evaluation of the situation of working-age people at the Polish labour market with regard to gender and age. This objective is furthered by a discussion of the factors affecting employment activity as well as of the economic theories on female- and male-specific behaviours at the labour market. The data used in this article come from the GUS (Central Statistical Office of Poland) database as well as from Edition 3 (2012) of the Bilans Kapitału Ludzkiego [Study of Human Capital in Poland] report.
