The report “Poland 2030 – Development Challenges” shows that improving the situation of women in the labour market is a key challenge, as doing so will allow Poland to ride the fast track of modernisation. A number of problems women have on the labour market are caused by the traditional perception of woman as mother and wife. The article first presents the disparities between men and women in employment during the period of Polish accession to the European Union. Furthermore, the main stereotypes of Polish women: Polish Mother, businesswoman and the ideal woman, are presented as the cause of the phenomenon called occupational segregation, “the glass ceiling”, “the sticky floor”, the predominance of unemployed women over men, and unequal treatment in the recruitment process. The key finding of this article is that companies must combat the stereotypical grouping of men and women as two categories of workers with different predispositions. To achieve this goal it is important to promote the implementation of equal employment opportunity policies in Polish companies.

Artykuł przedstawia eksploracyjne rozpoznanie mechanizmów segregacji zawodowej pod względem płci na rynku pracy na przykładzie wybranych grup zawodowych: strażaków, kurierów i kierowców autobusów. Prowadzona analiza pozwala na zrozumienie czynników wspierających lub osłabiających utrzymywanie się męskich wzorców w tych miejscach pracy i grupach zawodowych. Celem było zbadanie społecznych mechanizmów segregacji na rynku pracy ze względu na płeć przez skoncentrowanie się na męskich doświadczeniach pracy w zawodach zmaskulinizowanych. Doświadczenia mężczyzn analizowano w perspektywie zmieniającego się świata pracy. Efektem jest typologia trzech światów męskiej pracy: grupę zawodową broniącą męskości, grupy zawodowej wyzyskiwanej za pomocą męskości oraz grupy zawodowej nieprzywiązanej do męskości.

The article presents explorative research of occupational segregation mechanisms in terms of gender on the labour market, on the example of three occupations: firefighters, parcel delivery couriers and bus drivers. The analysis enables to understand factors that enhance or weaken persistence of masculine patterns in workplaces and occupational groups. Its aim was to focus on social mechanisms of gendered segregation on the labour market, with regard to men experiences in masculinized occupations, in the context of changes in work and employment. The article offers conclusion in form of typology of three worlds of men’s work: occupational group that protects masculinity, occupational group that is exploited with use of masculinity and occupational group that is not attached to masculinity.
