The analysis performed in the article shows that in order to reduce unemployment among women there should be taken into account differentiated forms of employment, and especially part-time jobs. This concerns, first of all, these labour markets where women lend to predominate among the unemployed. Some experience gained by the Western countries might be tapped here. In many of them the number of those employed on part-time jobs is rising quite significantly. In most cases these are persons most exposed to unemployment, i.e. young persons, elderly people, and women. However, women constitute a vast majority of them. For instance, in Great Britain women account for almost 90% of such persons. They choose this form o f employment, because it allows them also to look aller their children. Employers should be encouraged to create such jobs, and especially small firms expanding recently. Among others forms of employment allowing to curb unemployment there are listed such as outwork, in-house employment facilitated by new techniques o ľ communications, or a flexible working time. In prat .ice, combinations of different untypical forms of employment are possible. All of them may contribute to mitigating unemployment and they should be taken into account in various programmes aimed at curbing this phenomenon.
