The paper analyses the differences in women’s and men’s wages in Poland. In most studies the conclusions about wage differences are formulated using wage average. Unlike in those studies, we analyse wage distribution using various distribution characteristics. It turns out that comparing the mode of wages can lead to slightly different conclusions than using the average does. The overlap index of wage distributions is used to make an overall comparison of distributions. The theory that the employment structure by occupation reduces the level of women’s mean wages is not borne out. Data on wages of full-time employed persons in October 2008 were taken from the Polish CSO.

The paper is devoted on the wage differences between men and women in Baltic countries. It aims to estimate the unexplained gender pay gap cleaned at least partially by effect of intra household specialization on wage. To estimate the unexplained gender pay gap, we use European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data and apply the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition accompanied by matching procedure. The results show that to take intra-household specialization into account led to a decrease in the unexplained gender wage differences however wage differences between men and women persists. The unexplained gender pay gap, which could be due to wage discrimination against women reaches approximately 11 percent in Latvia and Lithuania. It is significantly higher in Estonia where it amounts about 21 percent to disadvantage of women.
