Extreme poverty rate and privation rate in Poland 2008-2019
Both the level of extreme poverty and privation in Poland decreased in 2019 compared to the previous year. According to the source, the limit of destitution is based on the social minimum, which covers goods and services that serve not only to satisfy subsistence needs. It is assumed that consumption expenditure at the minimum subsistence level allows for a "decent life". In contrast, extreme poverty is such a low level of needs satisfaction that it threatens people's health and hinders their livelihood.
