Warsaw's economic dominance stems from its highly educated labour force, which boosts business services in the city, and a large domestic market size which amplifies trade opportunities. In 2016, Warsaw enjoyed a 68% labour productivity advantage (gross value added by employee) over the remaining parts of the country. In general, Warsaw's highly skilled and abundant labour force underlies a high labour participation rate in the capital (84% in 2016) as opposed to remaining parts of Poland (63%).
Intense FDI in Warsaw, while boosting local labour productivity, gives a push to household disposable income. Even the relatively small average household size has no significant effect on household incomes which were 6.9% higher in Warsaw compared to the rest of the country in 2016.
Due to higher incomes, in 2016 overall consumer expenditure per household (excluding transport and housing) was 9.7% higher in Warsaw in comparison to the rest of Poland. Eventually, households in Warsaw demonstrate a greater inclination towards education, hotels and catering, and recreational activities. In these categories they spend twice as much as their counterparts in the rest of the country.
Per household spending on housing and transport in Warsaw was only 3.6% higher than in the rest of the country in 2016. Despite being the most expensive housing market in the country, Warsaw was a rather affordable European city for students and foreign expatriates in 2016.
