Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to identify the socio-economic conditions of household participation in culture and relaxation. A double-track analysis of household expenditures has been carried out. First, the dynamics of the level and structure of expenditures is carried out based on aggregated data for the years 1998–2008 published by the Central Statistical Office. The second part is based on a 2008 CSO analysis of 37,358 household budgets. Econometric models enabled the set of variables to be estimated. Whether positive or negative, the variables have a statistically significant influence on household expenditures on culture and relaxation.
