“…A review of previous studies indicates that households of self-employed individuals in Poland achieve relatively higher incomes than those of paid employees or other socio-economic groups (Szczygieł & Piecuch, 2016;Ulman & Wałęga, 2013). A similar situation is observed, for example, in the Czech Republic (Bartošová & Bína, 2009). The advantage of the self-employed can be explained by their distinctive entrepreneurial personality traits, which determine the profitability of business (Sarwoko & Nurfarida, 2021).…”

The objective of the article is to assess financial situation and debt repayments in households of self-employed individuals and compare them to these of other types of households. The article aims to identify the determinants of over-indebtedness. Research Design & Methods:The study focuses on households of self-employed. The results are based on a nationwide CATI survey conducted among 1107 Polish indebted households. Theoretical models of the income distribution (log-logistic, Burr III) and the power-exponential model were used to achieve the research goals. Findings: The economic status of indebted households differentiates income and debt repayments distributions. Self-employed households have a better financial situation and greater inequalities than households of the paid employees and individuals sustaining themselves from other sources of income. The debt repayments of entrepreneurs are higher than in households of paid employees but lower than in other groups of households. The determinants of over-indebtedness are essentially similar regardless of the work status, but the impact of income, number of loans, and debt type on over-indebtedness is greater for self-employed households. Implications & Recommendations:The results on the debt repayments distribution and determinants of overindebtedness may be helpful in creating regulations that preventing household bankruptcies and policies aimed at combating social exclusion. Contribution & Value Added: Introducing the issue of self-employment into the discussion on income and debt distribution and identifying the over-indebtedness among households of self-employed. To assess the debt repayments, we adopt theoretical income distributions and unique source of data on Polish households in debt. Article type:research article

“…Jako pravděpodobnostní model pro příjmy (nebo mzdy) jsou v obsáhlé literatuře používána různá pravděpodobnostní rozdělení, která se také někdy nazývají příjmová. Logaritmicko-normálního rozdělení, použité také v tomto textu, bylo pro příjmy a platy v České republice použito například v Bartošová (2009), Bartošová, Bína (2009) nebo Bílková (2012). Mezi často a s úspěchem používaná příjmová rozdělení patří také Dagumovo rozdělení (Kleiber, 2007;Dagum, 2008; pro příjmy v České republice Malá, 2011), zobecněné lambda rozdělení (Pacáková, Sipková, 2007 pro Slovensko), zobecněné beta (McDonald, Xu, 1995), Paretovo rozdělení pro velké příjmy a další pravděpodobnostní rozdělení (Kleiber, Kotz, 2003;McDonald, 1984;Milanovic, 2002).…”

“…The condition for consumption is to have sufficient resources to purchase the goods and services mentioned (Canberra Group, 2011). The knowledge of the income distribution is the basis for assessing the material situation of socio-economic groups of households (Dolls et al, 2019;Trzcińska, 2020;Trzcińska, 2021;Kuznets, 2019;Bartošová, Bína, 2009). A lack of funds to meet the needs at the desired level implies a risk of poverty for households and may lead to social exclusion of its members due to the inability to participate in social life (Ledić, Rubil, 2019;Mysíková et al, 2019;Forster, Pearson, 2018;Salejko-Szyszczak, Szczepaniak, 2017;Wolf, 2009).…”

Income distribution can cause large-scale transformations in social structure, as well as in the quality of life. The aim of the paper is to compare the economic situation of households in Poland and the Czech Republic. The level and the dispersion of income distributions of households and the level of poverty due to the selected socio-economic characteristics of a respondent or a household are analysed. All the conclusions are based on the results of European Quality of Life Surveys. To describe the distribution of net equivalent income, the Singh-Maddala model is used. The estimation parameters are obtained by means of the maximum likelihood method. The descriptive statistics characterising the total situation in the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in selected socio-economic groups, are calculated. To analyse the extent, depth and severity of poverty in the countries in question, the aggregate indices are obtained. The conducted research shows a high similarity for both distribution of equivalent income and the socio-economic groups particularly exposed to monetary poverty.
