EN
Income stratification is one of direct ways of social structure analysis. This stratification is one-dimensional graduation scheme on the “low income – high income” scale. This method allows to assess the share of affluent and poor groups in the whole society and to assess the changes in the structure of society through the prism of income. In this study, the division of households into seven income groups, according to relative approach was used. To divide the studied period 2000-2015 into sub-periods with similar income structures the taxonomic algorithm was used. According to this algorithm, the studied period was divided into four sub-periods.

Stratyfikacja dochodowa jest jednym z bezpośrednich sposobów analizowania struktury społeczeństwa. Ten rodzaj stratyfikacji to jednowymiarowy system oceniania na skali „niski dochód – wysoki dochód”. Metoda ta pozwala ocenić udział zamożnych i biednych grup w ogóle społeczeństwa oraz zmiany zachodzące w strukturze społeczeństwa przez pryzmat dochodów. W przeprowadzonym badaniu zastosowano podział gospodarstw domowych na siedem grup dochodowych, stosując podejście relatywne. W celu podzielenia badanego okresu 2000-2015 na podokresy cechujące się podobnymi strukturami dochodów zastosowano algorytm taksonomiczny. Zgodnie z zastosowanym algorytmem badany okres podzielono na cztery podokresy.
