Summary/Abstract: In the article, the impact of the EU Cohesion Policy on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG), focusing on reducing inequalities in Poland, is examined. The aim isto assess whether the Cohesion Policy effectively contributes to reducing income inequalities and the labour market, thereby leading to economic convergence within the EU, at the national and regional levels, with particular emphasis on Poland’s position and its socio-economic development diversification. The study focuses on the analysis of economic indicators, including purchasing power-adjusted GDP per capita and employment rates for the years 2010–2022, in the context of the objectives ofthe Cohesion Policy and the 2030 Agenda. The study’s findings confirm that in terms of reducing income disparities and improving employment, the cohesion policy could have been effective due to the convergence of the analysed indicators. In particular, the situation in Poland during the analysed period was satisfactory, as the country improved its results in terms of both analysed SDG10 indicators, nationally and regionally. Also, the overall SDG index for Poland and its overall ranking position is highly satisfactory, and the Gini coefficient, which illustrates income disparities, is at a good level in relation to other countries.
