The rapid increase in the pool of recruitment advertisements for male positions does not go hand in hand with the rapid increase in the number of men willing to take up a job.
Unfortunately, there are no men in the labor market in Poland. despite the fact that the number of professionally active men is growing, it is not at such a pace as to cover the huge number of jobs waiting to be filled. at present, in virtually every industry, we observe a deficit of men willing to work and able to do much harder work than ladies. Currently, the largest number of unfilled vacancies is recorded in the industries related to metalworking, logistics and production, as well as in all positions related to manual work and specialist authorizations.
Even before the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Poland was struggling with staff shortages in sectors for male workers. Staff shortages in numerous industries were noted as early as 2023, when out of 35 deficit occupations as many as 20 occupations are dedicated to men.
Shortage occupations include works such as concrete mixers, steel fixers, pavers, carpenters, construction carpenters, roofers and tinsmiths, electro-mechanics, storekeepers, mechanics, construction installation fitters, bricklayers, plasterers, earthmoving operators and mechanics, construction workers, processing workers wood, carpenters, welders and locksmiths. The solutions proposed by experts for the growing deficit of men to work in Poland include the recruitment of couples, especially foreigners.
High Wages.
This is especially possible in industries where female workers account for a certain percentage. Due to the shortage of staff, employees can expect higher wages to start and the possibility of working overtime, which allows them to earn higher earnings.
