The considerations presented in the paper demonstrate that the situation of women in the European labor market has considerably improved over the last decade. This is facilitated, among other things, by the extensive legal instruments stipulated in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in so-called ‘equality directives’. Yet, despite this extensive and moderately coherent system of legal protection of women in the labor market, they continue to have a weaker position than men. Gender segregation in the European Union is a considerable problem; it is exemplified by women’s limited access to attractive positions and a gender pay gap, i.e. obtaining lower remuneration than men employed in comparable positions. There are also other factors that influence limited women’s activity in professional life. For a long time women have been second to men in terms of education, but the differences in this area have been gradually decreasing in recent times. What continues to be a factor to curb the participation of women in the European labor market is insufficient childcare provisions. It should be pointed out that confronting demography with employment, and requesting that women choose between home and family or work falsifies the problem. This has clearly been noted in the Europe 2020 strategy, which creates a feedback between women’s employment and their traditional role of guardians of home and hearth. This is facilitated by flexible instruments in the labor market, such as contracts typical for a flexecurity model, e.g. non-standard contracts and flexible hour contracts. Their implementation can contribute to maintaining a positive trend that has recently been manifested in an increasing rate of employed women.

A model for recognition of professional qualifications in the professions of electrician and motor vehicle mechanic for the needs of their transfer on the European labour market in Germany, Poland and Portugal is a response to the need for recognition and comparison of professional competences in the professions mentioned above. The Model includes the following information modules: Information about the profession, learning outcomes, employers` expectations, educational institutions. Self-assessment of professional skills is the main function of the designed model, which allows to compare own professional skills with expectations of Polish, German and Portuguese employers. After self-assessment, the user of the model receives recommendations on the directions of competence development. The main groups of users are graduates of vocational education/employees, employers, educational institutions, labour market institutions as well as institutions responsible for the implementation of education policy in a specific country.
