Dochody i wydatki gospodarstw domowych
Incomes and expenses of the households

Summary/Abstract: An analysis of the statistical spectrum of the incomes and expenses of the Polish households leads to the conclusion that the disposable incomes only slightly surpass the expenses of the households and, for a significant part of the households, are lower. There is a growing economic polarization of the society whose considerable part lives on incomes below the social minimum and even below the minimum of existence. The society, as a whole, only to a small extent enjoys the fruits of the economic growth. There is also a growing marginalization of a large part of the society: its many members are not able to meet the higher-order needs (education, culture, recreation, etc.) as they can not afford them—these spheres have been to a large extent commercialized.
