Policy Priorities for Making Poland a More Inclusive and Knowledge-Based Economy
Twenty years into its membership in the OECD, Poland has achieved impressive progress
in terms of the living standards of its citizens. The country did not only manage
to significantly reduce the GDP per capita gap with other OECD countries, but it also
caught up with respect to several other dimensions of well-being. To ensure further
widespread improvements in living standards, Poland needs to continue to move towards
higher-technology production, boosting productivity and improving access to high-quality
jobs and good pay. This report reviews recently implemented and planned reforms that
aim to achieve these goals and proposes further policy measures to help Poland make
the shift towards a more knowledge-based economy. To safeguard inclusiveness, it is
crucial that the government also put in place appropriate policies to ensure that
no one is left behind during this transformation and that all firms and all citizens
can equally participate in and benefit from it.
