The article is an attempt to answer the following questions: What does the phenomenon of intensive and extensive horizontal segregation depend on?Which of the two segregation types took place on the Polish workforce market?Is the average salary lower in feminized sections? The theory of horizontal segregation assumes that individual workforce markets are divided into sections that are dominated in number by men or by women. According to the horizontal segregation theory salaries in the sections where women dominate are lower. In the context of the above mentioned assumptions the horizontal segregation has been divided into the extensive and the intensive one. The extensive segregation (in Latin extendere means to stretch, to spread) occurs when the rate of feminization or masculinization in individual sections is high. The intensive segregation (in Latin intensivus means intensified, increased) takes place when feminization in the section is significantly and negatively correlated with the average salary. The analysis of correlation between appropriate variables showed an intensive horizontal segregation on the Polish workforce market. It is demonstrated by a high feminization rate in such sections as education (where women amount to 85 % of all the employed), health service and social care. The matrix of the correlation indices among such variables as section feminization, women's willingness to find jobs in the given section or an average monthly gross salary did not demonstrate any significant relation between feminization and the average salary in the section. In the feminized sections the average salary was not lower than in the other sections. For example, the best paid section was financial brokerage where the feminization rate was high (71 %).
