The aim of this paper is to show the diversity of Polish households’ financial behavior in terms of debt as well as an identification of households that are characterized by a high debt to income ratio. The article also attempt to assess the debt to income ratio as a measure of households over-indebtedness. To achieve the main objective, the cluster analysis method was used. Based on the households credits portfolio and the level of debt to income ratio, 11 homogeneous groups of households were generated. Five of them were characterized by a high debt to income ratio (>30%), which classify them as overindebted.

The robust growth in household debt in pre-crisis period coincided with real growth in household disposable income, large economic expansion and a considerable fall in banks’ interest rates. However, household debt indicators deteriorated markedly as total household debt grew faster than income. This raised concerns about potential implications of an additional increase in the debt burden on financial stability. An analysis of household debt based exclusively on data aggregated at the sector level is not a best financial vulnerability indicator as it fails to provide insight into the distribution of debt and credit risk by individual household groups. The text explains the problems with personal over-indebtedness in Croatia and measures for their reduction.

The article examines ways of re-formation of the (German) middle class caused by the perception of social (and individual) crises (in our example over-indebtedness) and associated uncertainty. Which are the strategies that middle-class members develop to cope with those perceived crises and which factors contribute to the originating of new civic formations? In that context, we emphasize on the impact of culture-specific orientation patterns regarding specific societal groups. We refer to the work of Douglas and Wildavsky [1982] and Cornia, Dressel and Pfeil [2016] and concentrate on the collective dimension in asking, how does the middle class and parts of it like societal subgroups (in our example overindebted people) perceive and interpret social developments and crises (framing)? Which is the relationship between the middle class and institutional actors and the confidence they have in these actors, especially regarding the dealing with social crises and connected solutions? Who do middle-class members blame for the crises and the risks of social decline (blaming)? This is a central question directly connected with the way of dealing with risks and the assumption of responsibility.

Artykuł przedstawia sposoby re-formacji (przekształcenia) klasy średniej w Niemczech, które zostały spowodowane przez postrzeganie społecznych (i indywidualnych) kryzysów (w prezentowanym przez nas przykładzie – nadmiernego zadłużenia) i związanej z nimi niepewności. Jakie są strategie, które rozwinęli członkowie klasy średniej, żeby poradzić sobie z postrzeganymi kryzysami i jakie czynniki przyczyniły się do powstania nowych form społecznych (obywatelskich)? W tym kontekście, podkreślamy wagę wpływu kulturowo-specyficznych wzorów orientacji w odniesieniu do specyficznych grup społecznych. Przywołujemy prace Douglas i Wildavsky’ego [1982], a także Cornia, Dressel i Pfeil [2016] i skupiamy się na zbiorowym wymiarze, kiedy stawiamy pytanie: Jak klasa średnia i jej części (podgrupy) – w naszym przykładzie osoby nadmiernie zadłużone – postrzegają i interpretują rozwój społeczny oraz kryzysy (ramowanie/framing)? Jaki jest związek pomiędzy klasą średnią oraz aktorami instytucjonalnymi w zakresie pokładanego w nich przez klasę średnią zaufania, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do radzenia sobie z kryzysami społecznymi i związanymi z tym stosowanymi rozwiązaniami? Kogo członkowie klasy średniej winią za te kryzysy i ryzyko społecznej degradacji (obwinianie/blaming)? Jest to centralne pytanie bezpośrednio związane ze sposobami radzenia sobie z ryzykiem i przyjmowanym założeniem o (kierunku) odpowiedzialności.
