BIG InfoMonitor: Polish women much less indebted than men

The total financial debt of women in Poland is PLN 25 billion, more than twice as low as that of men, according to the BIG InfoMonitor debtors register. 

Almost half of all women have financial problems, compared to 43% of men.

According to BIG InfoMonitor experts, women earn less and have lower pensions, which results not only from lower wages but also from unpaid parental leave and lower retirement age. In addition, they are the ones who usually raise the children after the break-up of a relationship, often coping without any alimony awarded.
