The Minister of Family and Social Policy gave data on the economic activation of women from Ukraine in the Polish labor market. She also assessed that the result is very satisfactory.
"In Poland, more than 220,000 women from Ukraine have taken up work. This makes us very happy," Marlena Maląg said on the air of Radio Warsaw.
As she added, this is a good indicator. The Minister said that about 1.2 million people from Ukraine have a PESEL, 500,000 are of working age and are mainly women.
"This is good news for our labor market because all the meetings we have with employers show clearly that there is a need for hands to work," Marlena Maląg said.
In her opinion, the labor market in Poland is a very receptive market. This is confirmed by the data on the unemployment rate. Unemployment went down to pre-pandemic levels already in March, and in May it came close to the historical minimum (5.1 percent).
