This paper aims to assess the direction of changes in the distribution of per capita income as well as income inequalities in Polish households. The main trends of change were distinguished on the basis of theoretical distributions estimated for 2009-2018. However, a detailed comparative analysis of income distribution and the decomposition of income inequalities by major socio-economic groups was carried out for 2015 and 2018 (before and during the implementation of significant social programmes). In the article we used methods of modelling distribution of per capita income, including the Dagum distribution, Bhattacharyya distance, Gini coefficient and Theil index. All analyses
were performed on the basis of microdata from the Household Budget Survey of 2009-2018, carried out by Statistics Poland. The data set for each period consists in the observation of a minimum of 35 thousand households. The results of research indicate an increase in the level of per capita income in the period 2009-2018. The introduced changes in social policy have both resulted in an increase in the average level of income and a decrease in income inequality, especially in families with dependent children. keywordsHousehold Income, Income Distribution Analysis, Income Inequality.Biografia degli autoriDepartment of Statistics - Cracow University of Economics - via Rakowicka, 27 - 31-510 KRAKOW (e-mail: pawel.ulman@uek.krakow.pl; malgorzata.cwiek@uek.krakow.pl). |
