The Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN, Polskie Badanie Panelowe) is a program of panel surveys of the population of Poland carried out by the Research Team on Comparative Social Inequality at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The study started in 1988 and is repeated in 5-year intervals. The focus of the Polish Panel Survey is to describe Poland's social structure and its change over the last 25 years.

POLPAN data and documentation from the waves 1988, 1993, 1998, and 2003 are available for download in various formats from the data catalogue at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and from the Polish Social Data Archive[1].

Methodology and scope

Initially, in 1988, the survey was conducted among a national sample representing Poland’s adult population (aged 21-65), with N = 5,817 respondents. In 1993, this sample was randomly reduced to 2,500 individuals, whom researchers tried to reach in each of the consecutive five-year waves. To ensure an adequate age balance, additional subsamples involving young cohorts have been supplemented later. For example, the 2008 sample comprised 1,825 respondents of whom 1,244 belong to the strict panel, and 581 are newly added individuals aged 21-25 years. In 2013 we made an attempt to contact all respondents (7,261) who had ever participated in the study, which resulted in achieving a sample of 2,780.

Data collection is carried out through questionnaire interviews by the Centre of Sociological Research[2] at IFiS PAN.

The survey collects the following information:
