ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to determine the demographic and socio-economic characteristics which influence the risk of monetary poverty of households from the Mazowieckie Voivodship. For this purpose, the binary logit model is applied. To identify poor households, the relative poverty line is used. Thus, each household is ascribed to one of two subsets: poor or nonpoor. The empirical analysis is based on the Household Budget Survey carried out by Central Statistical Office of Poland in 2010. In addition, a comparison of the risk of poverty of households from the Mazowieckie Voivodship to the situation of households from other Polish voivodships is made. The analysis does not include nonmonetary dimensions of poverty.

Key words: poverty, logit model, demographic, socio-economic characteristics.
