It would seem that the present day of the Placowe is a long -closed topic to which we no longer have to come back. Unfortunately, nothing could be more wrong. Both in Poland and in other EU countries, the glepils of the Labor Service operate in the labor market that is still evidence that the equally still remains uneven. The scale of the problem is perfectly illustrated by the concept of a platform gap.
Placi gap on the labor market
LUKA LUKA, or Gender Pay GAP, is a difference in medium wages of women and men in similar positions. Speaking more accurately, it is about a situation in which women, despite a similar experience, qualification and education, earn much less. Currently in Poland, this gap is 8.7 percent, in Europe, 13 percent In practice, this means that a woman will earn less than a husband working in the same position. The optimists say that the labor market is dynamic and is changing quickly. There is a lot of reason in this, but this speed must significantly. At the current pace of changes, the leveling of the platform differences between both plants could take up to 130 years.
Do these unevenness?
The problem is not disappearing. In order to understand the concept of a platform gap, it’s best to look at the specifics of the Polish labor market. An extremely important aspect is cultural factors. Women, definitely more often than the men, full of babysitters. Often for the family give up your career or decide on less favorable professional suggestions. To all this is the issue of births and maternity and parental leave, which often causes a vulnerability in a CV or a break in a career. It is also worth paying attention to the employee bonus system and promotions. Officially, the law prohibits this, but in many companies, due to prejudices, women are overlooked at promotion. In this way, they are prevented from taking up managerial and decision -making positions. This is a situation that should not take place in the 21st century.
Change is necessary
So what should you do to speed up the changes and equalize the situation of women and men on the labor market? The key change of mentality is, and these are certainly accelerating the appropriate legal steps. Pursuant to the new regulations of the European Union, in Poland, from 2026, the employer will be obliged before reporting the platform differences between women and men. How will it look in practice? Companies employing over 250 people will consume reports a year, while smaller companies (from 50 to 249 employees) every three years. Objective? First of all, the expansion of remuneration transparency and an effective fight against discrimination. More and more changes are also the result of grassroots initiatives. Everyone, even the smallest, is of great importance to women.
Answear focuses on equal
An example of such a bottom -up initiative is the Ladies First project, which aims to pay attention to the bedside unevenness. The Answear brand decided to take a strong step and planned a special action. On March 1-11, special discounts will be subject to answear.com. Women’s collection and children will be listened to 23 percent. Promotion. Only 10 percent This difference? 13 percent Roses in discounts symbolize the loan gap, which women in Europe are struggling with every day. This is a small gesture that can be an excuse to implement important changes.
The Ladies First Action is a symbolic step towards equal and unifying women and men. This is also a great example of the fact that we are also part of this change ourselves – employees, employers and society. Let’s not agree to prejudice. Let’s do everything in our power to accelerate the process of changes and not wait 130 years. Let’s start today.
