Regulation of Wages in Poland

Jan Adam

Chapter 8 in Wage Control and Inflation in the Soviet Bloc Countries, 1979, pp 137-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Among the countries examined, Poland has been most frequently plagued by inflation. It therefore deserves special attention. It is also the only country which did not take part in the wave of reforms in the second half of the 1960s. However, it did make all the preparations for a reform which was supposed to go into effect in January 1971 but which was abandoned due to the unrest which broke out in December 1970. In 1973 Poland finally embarked on a reform which included a new SWR. This chapter will concentrate on the present SWR which came into being as a result of the reform. However, for the reasons mentioned above we will first discuss the Polish system in the 1960s. This will also shed some light on problems which could not be dealt with in other chapters.
