The aim of the study was to present the income situation of farmers' households in Poland, in comparison with other social and economic groups of the population, depending on the number of people in a household. Based on the research of household budgets carried out by the Central Statistical Office, the level of real income and its changes between 1999 and 2008 were presented, and a projection for 2009 and 2010 was drawn up. The analysis carried out shows that between 1999 and 2008 the income situation of households was significantly diversified. The higher number of household members entailed a better income situation of farmers' households as compared to other social and economic groups. Income disproportions between farmers' households are expected to decline, compared to other social and economic groups, as a result of the growth of their real disposable income. In 2009 and 2010, households of pensioners, irrespective of the number of their members, will obtain the lowest real income, as compared to farmers, while the highest income will be generated in households of the self-employed (except for 5-member households).

The aim of the paper was to assess the standard of living of Polish households in 2006 according to their size and division into socio-economic categories. To measure it a synthetic indicator based on the TOPSIS method was used. The conducted analysis revealed significant differences in the standard of living of individual households. The highest standard of living characterised the households of self-employed persons, which had up to five members, and the households of employed persons, which had not more than two members. In turn, the lowest standard of living was observed in the two-member households of farmers and in the many-member households of retired persons and disability pensioners. Significant disparities in the level of satisfaction of needs relating to individual goods and services may cause differences in the behaviour of individuals, lead to social marginalisation and the emergence of pathological groups that have no chances for proper participation in social life.
