Download or read book Gender and the Labour Market in Poland written by Ania Plomien and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades have passed since the beginning of Central East European (CEE) countries' transition from socialism and half a decade since they joined the European Union (EU). Focusing on Poland, this book engages in a gender analysis of the impact of these two exogenous events on labour market policies. Women's employment is high on the agendas of governments, as demographic change, competitiveness concerns, and demands for equal opportunities provide key stimuli for policy makers. However, the Polish case represents a paradox: the entrenched traditional gender ideology and difficult labour market conditions, particularly for women, conflict with EU trends and requirements of integrating gender equality principles in all policies and laws. The analysis of exogenous pressures is integrated with that of endogenous factors - the domestic institutional and actor configuration - assessing how the contradictory forces influence policies in pre-accession and membership stages. This book is of interest to scholars concerned with gender and women's employment, post-socialist transformation and EU accession, and with CEE welfare state development.
Book Synopsis Women on the Polish Labor Market by : Henryk Domański
Download or read book Women on the Polish Labor Market written by Henryk Domański and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can women succeed? Is women's work appreciated equally to men's? Do women's salaries reflect the quality and quantity of work they do? Does gender make a difference? These questions, which often emerge even in democratic societies and free-market economies, are much more acute in the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe. Gender has been an issue thus far neglected in transition economies. Drawing on official statistics, an international multidisciplinary team of sociologists, economists, demographers and geographers examines how women have been affected by the labor market reforms in Poland in the transition period of the 1990s. The issues discussed include occupational segregation, the social mobility of women, demographic change, the power and participation of women in public life, women's organizations, and labor market reform.

Book Synopsis Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market by : Giovanni Razzu
Download or read book Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market written by Giovanni Razzu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under communism there was, in the countries of Eastern Europe, a high level of gender equality in the labour market, particularly in terms of high participation rates by women. The transition from communism has upset this situation, with different impacts in the different countries. This book presents a comprehensive overview of gender and the labour market since the fall of communism in a wide range of Eastern European countries. Each country chapter describes the nature of inequality in the particular country, and goes on to examine the factors responsible for this, including government policies, changing social attitudes, levels of educational attainment and the impact of motherhood. Overall, the book provides an interesting comparison to the situation in Western developed countries, outlining differences and similarities. No one single Eastern European model emerges while, as in Western developed countries, a range of experiences and trends is the norm.

Book Synopsis The Subjective Experience of Joblessness in Poland by : Irina Tomescu-Dubrow
Download or read book The Subjective Experience of Joblessness in Poland written by Irina Tomescu-Dubrow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the experience of joblessness and unemployment in contemporary Poland. It does so by combining qualitative and quantitative data from a special project conducted in Poland after the Great Recession and the long-term Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN) to describe the lives of the jobless: women and men currently out of work, the recently re-employed, and housewives. The book uses a class and inequality perspective to investigate how these women and men became jobless, how they look for and find employment, their household and social activities, and their political participation. It contextualizes these experiences with a description of Poland’s economy, labor market and employment policies after the fall of Communism and builds on the active interviewing and social constructionist approaches to explore the complex interviewer-respondent relationship.
Book Synopsis Parenting and Work in Poland by : Katarzyna Suwada
Download or read book Parenting and Work in Poland written by Katarzyna Suwada and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open access book provides a critical account of parenthood in Polish society. It uses a qualitative perspective to show how mothers and fathers engage with parenthood and also function in the labour market. Parenting in contemporary Poland is not only affected by individual preferences and choices, but significantly by the institutional context, in particular the family policy system, as well as socio-cultural norms of how men and women should fulfill parental roles. The author distinguishes between different kinds of work done in connection to parenthood and shows how the existing institutional system reinforces gender and other forms of social inequalities even in a post-communist state like Poland. The author demonstrates that Polish society has different expectations and institutional norms related to work and gender norms compared to those in long-standing democracies in Europe and elsewhere. The book also shows that the experiences of parenthood in Poland are different between men and women, between single and coupled parents, and based on economic and other resources. This book is of interest to social science students and researchers of family studies, parenting, sociology of work, and social structure in post-communist societies.
Book Synopsis Gendering European Working Time Regimes by : Ania Zbyszewska
Download or read book Gendering European Working Time Regimes written by Ania Zbyszewska and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard approach to regulating working hours rests on gendered assumptions about how paid and unpaid work ought to be divided. In this book, Ania Zbyszewska takes a feminist, socio-legal approach to evaluate whether the contemporary European working time regimes can support a more equal sharing of this work. Focusing on the legal and political developments surrounding the EU's Working Time Directive and the reforms of Poland's Labour Code, Zbyszewska reveals that both regimes retain this traditional gender bias, and suggests the reasons for its persistence. She employs a wide range of data sources and uses the Polish case to assess the EU influence over national policy discourse and regulation, with the broader transnational policy trends also considered. This book combines legal analysis with social and political science concepts to highlight law's constitutive role and relational dimensions, and to reflect on the relationship between discursive politics and legal action.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Active Labour Market Policies by : Patrick A. Puhani
Download or read book Evaluating Active Labour Market Policies written by Patrick A. Puhani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most governments in today's market economies spend significant sums of money on labour market programmes. The declared aims of these programmes are to increase the re-employment chances of the unemployed. This book investigates which active labour market programmes in Poland are value for money and which are not. To this end, modern statistical methods are applied to both macro- and microeconomic data. It is shown that training programmes increase, whereas job subsidies and public works decrease the re-employment opportunities of the unemployed. In general, all active labour market policy effects are larger in absolute size for men than for women. By surveying previous studies in the field and outlining the major statistical approaches that are employed in the evaluation literature, the book can be of help to any student interested in programme evaluation irrespective of the paticular programme or country concerned.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Gender, Work and Care in a New Europe by : Triin Roosalu
Download or read book Rethinking Gender, Work and Care in a New Europe written by Triin Roosalu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the growing importance of Eastern European countries in the development of the EU, there is an urgent need to reconstruct the recent dynamic developments in women's work and care in these societies, and the socio-political determinants thereof. Considering their specific cultural, economic and historical development, it can be assumed that the trends and determinants of women's labour market trajectories in CEE countries differ significantly from those in the other European countries that have frequently made up the basis for established theories in social and labour market research. This being the case, can 'standard' theoretical approaches, mostly modelled on evidence from Western Europe, be transferred to the analysis of Eastern European countries? This edited collection scrutinises pivotal aspects of women's careers in Eastern Europe, providing a detailed overview of trends and determinants of women's employment in Eastern Europe, and reflecting critically on theoretical approaches in social and labour market research.

Book Synopsis Gender Pay Differentials During the Transition in Poland by : Vera A. Adamchik
Download or read book Gender Pay Differentials During the Transition in Poland written by Vera A. Adamchik and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the relative economic welfare of women during the transition in Poland. After providing an account of gender differences in several labour market outcomes we analyse the male-female wage differential over the period 1993-97. We find that there is almost no change in the wage gap, that most of the explained portion of the wage gap may be attributed to industrial and occupational segregation, and that a substantial portion of the wage gap remains unexplained. We briefly discuss possible socio-economic explanations for our findings.

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses key issues related to the economy of Poland. Thanks to its sound policies, close links to the German supply chain, and substantial EU transfers, Poland is the only country in the European Union that avoided an outright recession during the global financial crisis. However, this strong performance has masked enduring regional disparities, which are undermining the quality of growth. Poland faces significant long-term challenges as an aging population weighs on potential growth and public finances. The new government, which took office in November, has approved a Responsible Development Plan, focused on spurring growth through innovation and reducing social and regional disparities.
