The podcast hosted by Dominika Sitnicka and Dr. Konrad Skotnicki discusses the pressing issue of housing affordability in Poland, where despite 86% of people living in their own homes, high costs and overcrowding remain significant problems. The hosts aim to understand why politicians have not effectively addressed these concerns and what systemic issues contribute to the housing crisis, like the high costs of mortgages and overcrowding in cities.

In addition to analyzing the economic and policy factors at play, the podcast is part of the GEN.EU initiative, which encourages discussions on vital issues affecting young people today. Future episodes are set to tackle various topics, including labor market prospects, education challenges, gender equality, and the implications of climate change on society. This series aims to highlight the need for reflective discourse on policies that should respond to the needs of the younger population facing housing instability.

The implications of the discussions in this podcast extend beyond mere statistics; they reflect the lived experiences of Poles grappling with high living costs. As housing remains a crucial element of social stability and personal welfare, shedding light on these issues may prompt policymakers to formulate more effective strategies to alleviate the crisis and ensure equitable access to housing for all citizens.
