Abstracts

EN
The aim of the article is to investigate the actual and explained gender pay gaps in Poland in comparison with selected highly developed countries, and to discuss the factors determining wage disparities between men and women. Data from Eurostat EU-SILC and the International Labour Organization were used. The article concludes that the gender pay gap in Poland is relatively small and decreasing, and that estimates of the explained gender pay gap published by the International Labour Organization do not consider the influence of some important variables shaping wages.

Celem artykułu jest analiza porównawcza rzeczywistej i skorygowanej luki płacowej w Polsce i wybranych krajach wysoko rozwiniętych oraz dyskusja na temat czynników wpływających na zróżnicowanie w wynagrodzeniach mężczyzn i kobiet. Wykorzystano dane Eurostatu EU-SILC oraz Międzynarodowej Organizacji Pracy. W artykule sformułowano wnioski o relatywnie niewielkiej i malejącej luce dochodowej ze względu na płeć w Polsce oraz o niewystarczającym zestawie zmiennych użytych do oszacowania skorygowanej luki dochodowej przez Międzynarodową Organizację Pracy.
