Economic poverty in Poland In 2021, the extreme poverty rate in Poland was *** percent, which is one percentage point lower than in the previous year. On the other hand, the relative poverty rate reached **** percent, i.e., *** percentage point more than in the previous year, which is related to the decline in average household expenditure caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Families with at least * children up to the age of ** were the most exposed to economic poverty.
