The aim of the paper is to describe availability and usage of parental leaves for women
of reproductive age. We show the motivation for introducing the leaves and their history
in Poland. Based on data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO; Polish: GUS), Social
Insurance Institution (SII; Polish: ZUS) and Labour Force Survey (LFS; Polish: BAEL),
the use of maternity leave in Poland are presented and potential problems related to it
are discussed.
