Economic Growth, Income Distribution, and Poverty in Poland During Transition
The authors attempt to analyze the linkages between macroeconomic policies and economic growth
variables, their movement over time, and their impact on
poverty in the case of Poland. Poland, a middle-income
country, is of particular interest because its data sources
allow for a relatively detailed analysis of such
developments, and the macroeconomic environment and the
economic growth variables show a relatively sizable degree
of variance. In addition, Poland has struggled in the past
few years to reduce poverty while still experiencing
positive economic growth. The authors show that in Poland,
poverty-reducing growth depends heavily on the ability of
the economy to generate jobs. During the early years of
transition, net job growth was positive, while after the
Russian crisis of 1998, productivity gains were accomplished
mostly through labor shedding, henceforth, increasing
poverty in Poland. In addition, the authors identify how
fiscal and social protection policies affect income
distribution and poverty in Poland.
