Etyczne dylematy pracy kobiet w dobie globalizacji – polskie wątki

Abstract

Twenty years after the transformation in Poland is a good moment to try to answer the question of to what extent the global developmental trends influence the living conditions of Polish women in contemporary Poland. The main goal of this article is to present selected ethical dilemmas connected with women’s paid and unpaid work in contemporary phase of globalization. In the article I focus on three major issues: 1) a selective character of globalization in Poland, in a sense that not everybody may be called a winner of neoliberal transformation; 2) the delocalization of production in which Polish women from working classes take actively part; 3) the new division of labour materializing itself, for instance in the feminization of cheap labour force (the feminization of proletariat), intertwined with feminization of poverty and the growing discrepancy in salaries.
