Expenditure of powiats budgets - Expenditure on social welfare
This dataset is part of Poland's Local Data Bank (Bank Danych Lokalnych, BDL), maintained by the national statistical office GUS. It covers subject P1540, providing yearly territorial series on powiat (district)-level budget expenditure allocated to social welfare. Data are organized hierarchically from voivodship down to gmina level, with administrative units identified using the national TERYT coding system. The series falls under the public finance category and is classified as archival, reflecting historical rather than continuously updated figures. It is useful for analyzing regional trends in local government social welfare spending across Poland over time.PUBLIC FINANCE › ARCHIVAL DATA. Local Data Bank (BDL) subject P1540: yearly territorial series for Poland (voivodship to gmina level), units keyed by TERYT ids.
