Abstract

The research objective of the article is to characterize the level, form and structure of savings of non-agricultural households of self-employed persons (private entrepreneurs) from rural areas in Poland, including the goals of maintaining different types of savings. Also, other characteristics of this group compared with households of private entrepreneurs from non-agricultural areas will be presented. For the purposes of the work, a group of households of private entrepreneurs who are residing in rural areas, regardless of the place where the business activity is run, was distinguished. The work was based on statistical data and a representative and nationwide study—‘Social Diagnosis’ (the number of respondents in 2013 amounted to 12.3 thousand). Comparisons were made for the time period covering the years 2005–2013. The studies conducted indicated, however, that there are significant differences between the place of residence of entrepreneurs and possessing savings, their amount, or the goals of maintaining different types of savings.
