According to this year’s declarations, almost two thirds of adult Poles (63%) are not involved in any social organisation, e.g. an association, a union, a local government, a movement, a club or a foundation. About one in six interviewees (16%) admit that in their free time he/she participates in some collective activities in one of such organisations, one in twelve (8%) is involved in two organisations and one in eight (13%) in three or more. In comparison to an earlier measurement (i.e. 2012), the proportion of respondents involved in active citizenship increased by 5 percentage points and at present is the highest since 1998. In the last four years the proportion of interviewees involved in work in one or two organisations has not changed. However the number of those involved in at least three organisations increased (also by 5 percentage points).

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish “Activity in Social Organizations”.
