Sažetak
The situation of women in the labour market is subject to European
Union policy. This is due to prevention of discrimination and promotion
of sustainable growth and development. There is a large body of
literature describing national and regional labour markets; however,
research on the situation in post-communist countries is not provided
so often. The goal and contribution to the existing literature is to fill
the gap concerning investigation for the Polish labour market. The
aim of the research is to identify determinants influencing wages in
Poland and to find out if wages obtained by men and women depend
on the same factors. Analysis is provided applying statistical analysis
and ordered logit models based on the individual data from the Polish
Labour Force Survey. The main determinants of wages in Poland
are: gender, age or job seniority, level of education, size of firm and
occupation. However, the influence of these factors in the following
periods and samples (containing all, female and male employees) may
be different. Women earn less than men in all education classes and
in all NACE branches (NACE - Statistical Classification of Economic
Activities in the European Community) branches and this disparity
has increased over time. The most important factor of gender income
inequality is female segregation into low-wage jobs.
