Increasingly, they are not only Polish mothers, but also specialists, managers, teachers, doctors and saleswomen. The latest data from the Central Bureau of Statistics from the Economic Activity Survey (LFS) for the third quarter of this year show new records in this activity, as well as in employment among Poles

It turns out that the ‘500 plus effect’ that the opposition threatened did not work. Despite financial support for raising children, Polish women do not decide to give up their jobs.
““500+ effects”
The professional activity of women has improved more than that of men. Compared to the low point in the second quarter of 2020 (during the first lockdown), women’s labor participation has increased by 4.4 percentage points. while men were only 1.9 percentage points.

What decided this?
Firstly, the price, which significantly devalued the value of 500+ and forced many people to look for additional income, and secondly, the increase in the minimum wage, which increased the attractiveness of work.
