This paper analyses the data indicating a degree to which the female potential is used in Lower Silesia in the 21st century. The basic statistical measures illustrating the women's economic activity (economic activity rate, employment rate, unemployment rate, the reasons of excessive passivity) constitute the subject of this research. The capital and economic potential of Lower Silesian women is presented here on the basis of statistical data related to education and learning. Currently, education and the acquired knowledge as well as skills are the basic building material of "human capital", which often determines material status, which in turn allows for social advancement. That is why, education is deemed as an unquestionable value. The data on the choice of education can serve as the grounds for forecasting the situation of young women entering the Lower Silesian labour market.
