Research shows that the situation of women, in respect of many economic indicators, is constantly improving. For example, increasingly more women decide to take up employment or run their own business. The share of women in managerial positions and on the boards of listed companies is also growing. At the same time, Polish women can benefit from government support, which makes it easier for them to return to the labour market. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was a guest at the 1st Congress “Wielkopolska – the Heart of European Entrepreneurship. Polish woman – a unique European”, which was held in Kępno. The head of the Polish government handed out the Leaders of Entrepreneurship awards.

We have introduced family-friendly policies and numerous solutions that empower families. These include programmes such as Family Care Capital, Good Start, Family 500+ and Toddler+. We have taken very tangible measures that enable families to lead decent lives. Reduced taxes also provide direct support that is noticed by every family. These include, for example, solutions such as lower PIT, a higher tax-free amount and allowances for large families.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki took part in the “Women have a choice” conference. The event was an opportunity to discuss the role of Polish women in economic, social and business life. The situation of women on the labour market is improving. More and more Polish women are choosing to take up employment or run their own businesses. Data shows an increase in the proportion of women in managerial positions. In addition, we are among the top OECD countries with the lowest wage gap, i.e. the difference between men's and women's earnings. At the same time, Polish women can utilise various forms of government support to help them return to the labour market.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki took part in the ceremony honouring President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian people with the Charlemagne Prize.

The government is committed to ensuring that Poles can travel on comfortable, modern and safe roads. Road investments also mean new economic development prospects for our country. All works on the section of the A1 motorway between Piotrków Trybunalski and Kamieńsk have already been completed. This means that drivers can now make full use of the 560 km-long route from the Tricity to the Czech border. It now takes only around five hours to travel all the distance along this route. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the last of the newly built sections of the A1 motorway – Kamieńsk–Radomsko. As part of the National Road Construction Programmes, we have already commissioned more than 2,000 km of modern roads since 2015, with more than 1,200 km under construction.

Recent years have seen an increasing number of new investments to the benefit of residents across the country. They include new schools, nurseries, kindergartens, roads and sports facilities. Akademia Raków will gain an additional full-size football pitch. The investment will receive funding from the state budget under the Football Infrastructure Development Programme. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, during a visit to the RKS Raków Municipal Football Stadium in Częstochowa, announced support for the construction of the stadium.

Economic cooperation was the main topic of talks between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Economy and Planning of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Fadhil Alibrahim. The politicians also discussed strengthening bilateral relations.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the Volunteer Fire Brigade station in Radzieje. The visit was also an opportunity to see new investments in the region - including the newly rebuilt Kościelna Street. The safety of small homelands begins with support for units such as the Volunteer Fire Brigade and the modernisation of infrastructure. Thanks to government funding, the unit in Radzieje purchased a fire and rescue truck and will expand its facilities. Tightening public finances and government programmes provide funds for the modernisation of facilities and new investments across Poland.

6 May is European Road Safety Day. We are leading the way in Europe in improving road conditions. We are constantly investing in the national road network and infrastructure to ensure the safety of all Poles. Our priority is to improve visibility at pedestrian crossings. We effectively protect road users and educate citizens. In 8 years, we have reduced the number of fatal accidents on the roads by one third. In addition, the number of people injured in road accidents has decreased from 40,000 since 2015 to nearly 25,000 in 2022.
