I analyse the relationship between labour market precarity, political attitudes and civic activism in Poland, in order to address the following research question: how do those in economically insecure employment differ from other respondents in terms of the strength and forms of civic activism, self-reported interest in politics, and attitudes toward democracy. My analyses are based on quantitative data from the 2013 wave of the Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN), conducted on a nationally representative sample of adults aged 21 and above. The results suggest that precarious employment does not have, in itself, a strong direct effect on pro-democratic attitudes or political involvement. However, labour market precarity may have a long-term, indirect negative effect on the state of civil society, by lowering household income.

Niniejszy artykuł analizuje związki między prekaryjnym zatrudnieniem i postawami obywatelskimi, aby odpowiedzieć na następujące pytanie badawcze: czy osoby zatrudnione na czas określony różnią się od posiadających stabilne umowy o pracę pod względem aktywności społecznej, deklarowanego zainteresowania polityką, stosunku do demokracji? W analizach wykorzystane zostały dane ilościowe pochodzące z ostatniej fali Polskiego Badania Panelowego (POLPAN), zrealizowanej w roku 2013 na reprezentatywnej ogólnopolskiej próbie osób w wieku powyżej 20 lat. Wyniki sugerują, że prekaryjne zatrudnienie, samo w sobie, nie przekłada się na bardziej negatywny stosunek do zasad demokracji czy wycofanie z życia politycznego. Na dłuższą metę niepewność zatrudnienia może jednak przyczynić się do dalszego osłabienia polskiego społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, poprzez pogorszenie sytuacji materialnej gospodarstw domowych.

This article analyses long-term changes in the persistence of low wages in Poland, given the variations in the general economic situation. All analyses are based on data from the Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN) conducted throughout the post-communist transition period, 1988–2013, on a representative sample of the Polish adult population. The study found that being in a low paid job raises the probability of experiencing the same situation five years later, even when controlling for the general economic context and the respondents’ demographic and economic characteristics. Upward mobility rates among initially low paid workers were significantly higher during periods of economic prosperity; however, even then low pay persistence remained substantial. The results also point to a secular growth in the persistence of poverty-level wages over the past two decades. Persistent low wages may bring about spaces of long-term poverty and social exclusion which cannot be overlooked by policy makers.

The article looks at the results of a quantitative study of employment insecurity among young adults in Poland. Insecurity is conceptualized as a specific career sequence, observed over several years, composed of recurrent episodes of non-standard employment separated by periods of joblessness. The empirical part of the analysis uses data from the three most recent waves of the Polish Panel Survey POLPAN (conducted in 2008, 2013, and 2018). It offers an analysis of the employment transitions experienced by the respondents, a description of early career sequences (covering a period of three or five years following graduation), and an assessment of the main socio-economic correlates of persistent youth employment insecurity on the Polish labour market.

This article analyzes the relationships between school-based social capital and the average test scores of 9th grade students in Polish middle schools. School-based social capital is understood in terms of supportive communities, and measured on the basis of the youngsters' positive perceptions of the school atmosphere and interpersonal relationships, the support they received from teachers and / or classmates, as well as their assessment of student participation in classroom discussions. Hierarchical linear regression models, estimated on a sample of 63 classes in twenty purposively selected middle schools, found a strong positive relationship between this form of social capital and the average mathematics and science test score.

This article analyzes the incidence and dynamics of overeducation on the Polish labor market. It is based on data from a panel survey (POLPAN), conducted on a representative random sample of individuals aged over 20 in the years 1998–2008. According to the data from the last panel wave, currently around one out of five Polish workers are in occupations below their skill level. The incidence of such mismatches increased almost threefold since 1988. Further analyzes found that overeducation was characterized by relatively high persistence. The risk of persistent overschooling was several times higher among the youngest cohorts of respondents.
