This article focuses on women's motivation to enter politics (5th Term of RP Parliament's Office). Presented conclusions are part of the study on gender's influence on performing the role of politician. The purpose of this article is to confront what women say with the theories concerning the common objectives in the selfishly motivated world. Firstly I describe Public Choice Theory. Then I comment on the research method and population characteristics, moreover I discuss the course of the study. The main part of this article presents motives of entering politics that were revealed by women-politicians. Women politicians declared different motives of entering into politics. I divided all revealed reasons into seven parts. The most frequently mentioned one was the desire to continue the career in Local Government at the central level. The second one was named by me willingness to help. There were also women that entered politics by other reasons, such as: the suggestion of significant others, challenge, et cetera.

This article is focused on two parental movements that have appeared in Poland: First Quarter Mothers and Save the Little Ones. Both of these movements demanded changes in the law (or to prevent such changes) because, in parents' opinion, the assumptions behind the intended reforms were contrary to their childrens interest. The conducted analysis showed that both exhibit the characteristics of social movements. Parents are aware of their strength and know that acting together can have an impact on the social reality, legal change and government decisions. Analyzed movements showed that the institutional forms of dialogue slowly come to the end, and instead of them the bottom-up forms of action become increasingly important.

Precariat refers to a situation where people are forced to make a living out of work which is low- quality, insecure, temporary, low-paid, with little or no promise of promotion, without social insurance, and often off-the-books. The concept of precariat goes beyond the form of employment and encapsulates several factors that determine whether a particular job/form of employment exposes an employee to instability of employment, lack of union protection (protection of interests), or social and economic insensitivity. The article aims, in the first place, to answer the question of whether precariat is a global phenomenon. Does it look the same in the rich North and poor South? Is it justified to view it as a structural characteristic of contemporary labour? To address the problem, the classification proposed by Rodgers and Rodgers (1989) and revised by Duell (2004) is employed.

Precarity applies to people who, in order to survive, need to work in a low-quality job, which is uncertain, temporary, low-paid, with no prospect of promotion, no security and no contract. In this sense, the precariat is a category related mostly to the secondary segment of the labour market, according to the concept of a dual labour market. It is also the universal feature of Post-Fordism and the modern working conditions in which women, more often than men, are located in the ‘worst’segment of the labour market. In this context, it can be noted that since the beginning of the era of globalization, women start working particularly in those sectors that were more uncertain and unstable e.g. in services and trade. It was feminization in a double sense: there were more and more working women on the one hand, and on the other hand, the flexible jobs were undertaken usually by women. Most of these kind of jobs were precarity jobs. Precarity is combined with insecurity, which does not allow the people in this group to plan anything, and wages so low that they can’t afford a decent life. In the article I would like to prove that the threat of precariat is more probable for women than men. I present data related to precarity for Poland compared to other European countries (based on data from Eurostat and the OECD).

Przyspieszenie czy spowolnienie? Praca platformowa dostawców jedzenia w dobie pandemii Sars-Cov-2

Polski rynek dostaw jedzenia na żądanie klienta (food delivery) to wschodzący sektor w ramach gospodarki cyfrowej, który doświadczył przyspieszenia w czasie pandemii Sars-Cov-2. Praca kurierów w ramach globalnych, korporacyjnych platform typu Uber Eats, Glovo czy Wolt nigdy wcześniej nie miała tak dużego społecznego znaczenia. Jednak za hasłem pracy platformowej kryje się wiele negatywnych zjawisk (niskie zarobki, długie godziny pracy czy algorytmiczne zarządzanie, na które kurier nie ma wpływu). Wykorzystując teorię przyspieszenia społecznego jako inspirację teoretyczną, w artykule staram się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy platformowe kooperatywy mogą być w Polsce alternatywą dla globalnych platform cyfrowych. Istotnym kontekstem jest tutaj pandemia Sars-Cov-2. W artykule wykorzystano wyniki wywiadów pogłębionych z kurierami, partnerami flotowymi oraz założycielami/właścicielami kooperatyw platformowych z branży dostaw jedzenia na żądanie w Polsce.

The Polish food delivery market is an emerging sector in the digital economy that experienced additional acceleration during the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic. The couriers’ work for global Big Tech platforms such as Uber Eats, Glovo or Wolt has never had such a great social significance before. However, behind the slogan of platform work there are many negative consequences, including low wages, long working hours or algorithmic management over which the courier has no influence. Using the theory of social acceleration as an inspiration, in this article I set out to answer the question of whether in Poland platform cooperatives can be an alternative to global digital platforms. The relevant context is the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic. The article uses the results of in-depth interviews with couriers, fleet partners and founders/owners of platform cooperatives from the food delivery industry in Poland.
