Abstracts

EN

The study analyses food insecurity in Poland on the basis of data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This data assesses the scale of experiencing food insecurity by the respondents. It includes information obtained during 2014-2019 from 6080 people. The dependence of food insecurity on the subjective and objective income situation of individuals was examined. Typical methods of analysis were used, such as Pearson’s χ2 test, Cramer V and Kendall τb measures, and the logit model. It was found that the perception of food insecurity depends more on the subjective rather than objective income situation.

W pracy podjęto się analizy zjawiska braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego w Polsce na podstawie danych Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa. Dane te odnoszą się do oceny skali doświadczania niepewności żywnościowej przez respondentów. Obejmują informacje pozyskane w latach 2014-2019 od 6080 osób. W pracy badano zależność występowania braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego od indywidualnej obiektywnej i subiektywnej sytuacji dochodowej. Wykorzystano typowe metody analizy danych, takie jak test χ2 Pearsona, miary V Cramera i τb Kendalla, jak również model logitowy. Stwierdzono, że odczuwanie braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego było bardziej zależne od subiektywnej niż od obiektywnej sytuacji dochodowej.
