The paper addresses an issue of differences between Polish and international results of the research on the perception of work flexibility among women. The causes of the identified problem have been found in both terminology inconsistencies as well as the specificity of the Polish labour market including the existing legal system. Drawing conclusions has been based on findings of the international and national research including the pilot research undertaken by the author with respect of the perception of non-standard employment arrangements among Polish students.
