Zmiany w stratyfikacji społecznej w Polsce
Changes in Social Stratification in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The patterns of intergenerational mobility and marital choices are mostly applied indices of social openness or social distances. A weaker association between class position of parents and their children and a lower marital homogamy indicate that social class barriers are lower. Social stratification is also dependent on the rules of recruitment to occupational positions and on the principles of remuneration. Using survey data, the author investigates changes in social stratification in Poland in the years 1982–2019. The findings indicate that class stratification of the society does not disappear and it is a durable determinant of social inequalities. The patterns of intergenerational mobility and marital homogamy are quite stable over time. Nevertheless there are also new phenomena, connected with the changing consumption and life style patterns and the evolution of democratic system.
