Summary/Abstract: Today’s labour market sees a trend of feminisation which is developing with varying intensity in individual segments of economy. Its shape in individual countries is influenced by local economic, social and cultural environment. The phenomenon strengthened representation of women in certain industries is referred to as horizontal occupational segregation (Zwiech 2010). In the EU the most feminized industries are education, health and social care. The aim of this study is to assess the level and range of changes over time in the process of feminisation of regulated professions on the Polish real estate market. With this aim in view, I used data on the number of professional licenses granted by the relevant Minister between 1990–2014 broken down by gender and geographical location (voivodships). The study verifies a hypothesis of growing women’s participation in the Polish real estate market in three professions that had been regulated before 2014.
