Płeć jako determinanta szansy podjęcia zatrudnienia i ryzyka rezygnacji z pośrednictwa urzędu pracy

The purpose of this paper is to compare women’s odds of employment to those of men’s, depending on their educa¬tion and age. Since a large number of people have rejected the services of Labour Of¬fices, we also compare the odds ratios of the risk of this deci¬sion among women and men, according to education and age. The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that un¬employed women were more determined to find a job and that they took into consideration their La¬bour Office offers more often than men. In the analysis we used the data on over 20,000 unemployed people who had deregistered from the Local Labour Office in Szczecin in 2010.
