The fast development of technologies in today's world is accompanied by the mushrooming of digital platforms constituting the core of the ecosystem of sharing economy. This multifaceted phenomenon and its ever-increasing presence have become a subject of public interest and debate, as well as encouraging research and scientific discourse. The article presents the results of the first study of Poles' participation in sharing economy derived from a questionnaire survey of a representative sample (n = 1000). The purpose of the study was to characterise Poles participating in the digital economy and to determine how they differ in the use of sharing platforms depending on their age group and generation. The analysis has shown that the rates of Poles participating in the digital economy are the smaller, the older the age group, and that a rising number of the users of digital economy solutions translates into greater acceptance of sharing platforms. Among the oldest Poles, 70% do not participate in the digital economy and as much as 80% in the sharing economy. The numbers sharply contrast with generations Z and Y that participate in the sharing economy almost without exception. The most popular of sharing services turned out to be accommodation reservation indicated by every third respondent.
当今世界，技术飞速发展，同时也涌现出了大量构成共享经济生态系统核心的数字平台。这种多方面的现象及其日益增长的存在引起了公众的关注和讨论，同时也鼓励了研究和科学论述。本文展示了首次针对波兰人参与共享经济的研究结果，该研究基于对代表性样本（n=1000）的问卷调查。研究目的是描述参与数字经济的波兰人，并确定他们在使用共享平台时如何因年龄组和代际而有所不同。分析表明，参与数字经济的波兰人的比例越小，年龄组越大，数字经济解决方案的用户数量增加，意味着对共享平台的接受程度越高。在最年长的波兰人中，有 70%的人不参与数字经济，多达 80%的人不参与共享经济。这与 Z 世代和 Y 世代形成鲜明对比，他们几乎无一例外地参与共享经济。最受欢迎的共享服务是住宿预订，每三个受访者中就有一个选择了这项服务。
