Information about the project:
Few empirical studies examine the dynamic link between social structure—resources and experiences—anticipated threats and opportunities, and even fewer do so with surveys, due to lack of adequate panel data. We respond to these shortcomings by extending the Polish Panel Survey, POLPAN 1988-2018 (polpan.org) with a new wave in 2023 to introduce a framework in research on social structures focusing on perceived changes and expected trends.
The fundamental problematic of this project is: To what extent are people’s perceptions of upcoming threats and opportunities in five key domains of life – wealth and living standards, health and health services, aging and social security, migration and multinationalism, and national security – determined, in a statistical sense, by one’s position in the social structures, and to what extent by past resources and experiences?
The 2023 survey involves a managed renewal of POLPAN. We retain the core of the questionnaire but add new items that improve measurement for the domains of this study focuses on. To retain the representativeness of the adult population in Poland, the POLPAN 2023 sample will be supplemented with (i) respondents in the age range 21 - 26 years, and (ii) respondents in the age range 27 to 60 years. We will construct two data sets, the cross-sectional POLPAN 2023 file and the integrated POLPAN 1988-2023 dataset. In line with our established tradition, after anonymization and following RODO/GDPR standards, after anonymization and following RODO/GDPR standards, we will place the 1988-2023 POLPAN dataset in public repositories.
