“…Such procedures enabled balanced samples selected from all 98 subpopulations to be achieved. The results of this census have been accepted to be nationally representative, and can be generalized to the whole Polish population (CSO, 1996(CSO, , 1998Bracha, 1996;Kordos et al, 2002).…”

In recent years, sex differences in mortality have followed diverse patterns of change in developed countries. As there is no analogous evidence from Poland, the aim of this study was to describe the pattern of change in excess male mortality among Polish inhabitants aged 35-64 during 1995-2002, when the major socioeconomic transformation occurred, and compare it with sex differences in mortality observed in the late 1980s. During the study period, excess male mortality decreased significantly, independently of age and educational level. The reduction in mortality was observed in both sexes, but its magnitude was greater in men. These changes resulted mainly from a reduction in mortality rates due to cardiovascular disease and lung cancer in males and a concomitant increase in mortality rates due to lung cancer and suicides in females. Although, in general, excess male mortality decreased, social gradients related to this phenomenon increased. Subjects (in particularly men) who had graduated from university benefited the most, their magnitude of reduction in mortality rates being the greatest. Changes in social environment during the transformation period in Poland are suggested as major determinants of these changes, but further studies are needed.

“…The "best" survey would still probably understate the two tail-ends of income distribution (the poorest and the richest) who are typically undersurveyed, and it would also underestimate " 3 In order to increase the response rate (which was one of the main sources of bias), Polish household surveys began to require households to keep track of their income and expenditures for one, instead of three, months. The response rate increased from 65 to 80 percent (see Kordos, 1994). some sources of income like those from property (routinely underestimated by up to 50 percent in developed countries)" and entrepreneurship.…”

Since the beginning of transition to market economy, in Inequality during inequaiity has increased in all the Transition transition countries. The factors driving inequality up: increasing wage inequality (as Braniko Milanzotvic workers move from a relatively egalitarian state sector to a less equal private sector), and the rising share of income from selfemployment and property (both very unequally distributed). Social transfers have failed to dampen the increase in inequality because they have remained, as under socialism, unfocused.
