Abstract

The aim of this article is to present coping strategies used by people registered in Public Employment Services as unemployed and workers for whom experiencing poverty is characteristic. These strategies are practiced in the absence of adequate support from public institutions and non-governmental organizations dealing with the unemployed and working poor. They are an expression of everyday efforts to stabilize and improve one’s own situation. The results of the presented research are based on qualitative field research conducted between 2013-2016 in Radom and Toruń. The typology of coping strategies presented in this article is part of the stream of research on agency and strategies used by people in their everyday lives (e.g.  Burawoy et al. 2000, Hyman et al. 2005a, Mrozowicki 2011, Binder 2014).
