Economic Transition and Intergenerational Mobility in Poland

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The main aim of the article is to examine intergenerational mobility in the context of relative assessments of financial situations. Using data from the dedicated survey and the mobility measure based on transition matrixes, we try to answer two questions concerning intergenerational mobility in Poland. The first one is whether this phenomenon was affected by the political transformations that took place in Poland in the early 1990s. And the second one is how economic transition affected the financial situation mobility among women. The results show the impact of economic transition on the level of intergenerational mobility and much better adaptation of younger cohorts to market requirements, particularly among women.

Institutional Changes and Ditigalization of Business Operations in Financial Institutions

“…The commercial potential of technologies is enormous (Posner, 2010;Zemlickiene, Mačiulis and Tvaronavičienė, 2017). However, the transition process often requires a high price that needs to be paid (Strielkowski and Čábelková, 2016;Piotrowska and Kośny, 2017). This applies to all sectors of economy, but it is even more relevant in the sectors primarily dealing with data and information flows.…”
