Summary/Abstract: In the paper we show that the lower employment levels of women comparing to men is characteristic of families with small children. We discuss the determinants of withdrawal of young mothers from employment. Finally we propose a reform to the system of family benefits in order to introduce mechanisms that make work more financially attractive for mothers in Poland.
