The labour market in WL has for years been characterised by a high level of unemployment (the third highest unemployment rate in the country, at 03’23:8.2%, Poland:5.4%)[1]. In addition, the situation in recent years has been complicated by the coronavirus pandemic and the influx of war refugees from Ukraine (which has caused, among others, greater competition on the labour market or a change in the structure of jobseekers (predominance of women)). Finding a job among both unemployed [BB] and inactive [BZ] is hampered by a lack of skills/qualifications and a lack or low level of professional qualifications not adapted to the needs of the labour market. The above-mentioned often causes long-term unemployment (58.2% of the total BB is DBB [2,3]), while the prolonged state of inability to find employment creates frustration and implies financial problems, which result in a decrease in the standard of living, self-esteem and social position. In WL, the problem of long-term unemployment is a priority, as the region has been ranked first in the country for years in terms of the percentage of DBB [5]. Women are in a worse position, experiencing manifestations of discrimination, the negative impact of gender stereotypes and struggling with the unequal distribution of family responsibilities (the professional activity of K in WL is 51.1% compared to 65.8% in M)[4].
