In 2025, 2.0% of people living in Poland declared that they were unable to meet at least 7 out of 13 material and social needs due to financial reasons. This percentage decreased slightly compared to the previous year (2.3% in 2024).
Material deprivation is the inability to meet basic needs due to financial reasons, while social deprivation refers to the inability to participate in social and cultural life, leading to isolation and social exclusion. Both cases describe a multidimensional poverty in which part of society with limited financial resources may experience social marginalization.
