For me, a Polish woman is synonymous with entrepreneurship; The participation of women in the labor market has risen from 55% to 55% in a few years. to exceed 60 percent is a great success, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Friday in Kępno, during a congress devoted to female entrepreneurship.
“Polish women are taking matters into their own hands
The Head of Government was a special guest at the 1st Congress “Wielkopolska – the Heart of European Entrepreneurship. Polish – Exceptionally European”. He dedicated his speech to women. He argued that Polish women are taking matters into their own hands.
All around I see very clearly how Polish women take matters into their own hands, deal with different matters. For me, a Polish woman is synonymous with entrepreneurship
– said the Prime Minister to the participants of the event.
Morawiecki congratulated all the women who are “always trying to figure out what’s best, most beautiful and most important in different areas of the work-life and work-life fronts”.
Today, he said, “women outperform men” who “can’t keep up with women.”
This is probably a sign of the times
Morawiecki said.
He indicated that this was confirmed by labor market data.
How many women are on the boards of listed companies? Still not enough, today it is 24 percent, but 8-10 years ago it was 12 percent. Ladies, at this rate it will be almost half in 10 years, and there’s nothing that can stop it from going faster. This is what I wish for you: as many women as possible on all boards
said the head of government.
He noted that a few years ago, when the government introduced social programs, people could hear that they would lead to a decrease in the number of women working.
Nothing like that happened. The share of women in the labor market rose from 55 to 56 percent. a few years ago to more than 60 percent. It’s a great success
Morawiecki said.
He added that there are more than 7.4 million women in the labor market.
We have the most working people in the history of Poland – 17 million and the highest number of working women
stressed the prime minister.
The pay gap is shrinking
He notices that the dichotomy between typically male and female activities is disappearing. But – as he stressed – there is still a visible gap in earnings in the same positions between women and men, to the detriment of women. He added that this difference has decreased from over 7 percent to 4.5 percent in recent years.
It shouldn’t be there; it should be zero. Then there will be social justice
– he stated and stated that the government’s mission is to support women.
We agreed on an additional billion zloty program for female entrepreneurship. These costs will pay for themselves a hundredfold
– he said. He explains that it will soon be discussed what the program will look like in practice.
The head of government noted that Poles live in a time when it is difficult to combine family life with a professional career.
To this day, women face a difficult choice. My task and that of those in power is to support women in different areas of private and professional life so that two roles can be combined, so that each woman can combine her professional and family life in the relationship she wishes
– he said. He assured that women’s support is the government’s top priority. And to carry them out, various support programs have been launched.
“We valued women
Morawiecki said the mockery of the opposition is most damaging to women.
All those who have no imagination and do not know what the hard work of a mother, a woman raising a child, is, be silent, do not mock and come to your senses. We valued women by creating assistance programs for them through maternity pension and all other programs
– he said and thanked the ladies for their daily efforts.
The head of government said there are many people in Poland who dress up in feathers of feminism and are “supporters of women, but in their mouths”. He appealed to the women gathered in Kępno to remember what the previous government did for them and what the current one does.
What was the policy of supporting women in professional and family life, career development, access to the labor market, maternity leave, support in the purchase of medicines and everything that women are interested in, how they lived then?
he switched. He assured that the current government really cares about the well-being of women and families.
