Nearly three-quarters (74%) of the Polish population shops on Sundays, with 54 percent visiting shops on Sundays at least once a month, according to a TNS survey commissioned by the Lewiatan Confederation.
“Most frequently it is young people, aged 18-29, who shop on Sundays – as much as 87 percent of this group. Slightly fewer respondents were in the 30-39 (83%) and 40-49 (80%) age groups. Older persons shop less frequently, but still, the majority them take advantage of Sunday shopping opportunities – 69 percent of those aged 50-59 and 54 percent over 60,” Lewiatan reported. Moreover, 80 percent of people in large cities and 69 percent in rural areas shop on Sundays.
Lewiatan also notes that most people who work on Sundays are themselves opposed to a ban on Sunday trading. The survey indicates that 19 percent of people work at least one Sunday a month. Out of these, 55 percent oppose such a ban, 32 percent support it, and 13 percent don't have an opinion.
