Abstract
Artykuł dotyczy niektórych problemów zróżnicowania populacji. Bardzo skrótowo przedstawiony został problem dywersyfikacji ekonomicznej ze względu na nierówności dochodów. Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja zróżnicowania populacji ze względu na indywidualną witalność lub słabowitość. Istota teorii, która została zainicjowana w 1979 r., została zilustrowana prostymi przykładami. (abstrakt oryginalny)

The paper addresses some problems concerning the diversification of populations. The problem of economic diversification, particularly with respect to income inequality, is reviewed very briefly. The main purpose, however, is to present the recently developed theory of heterogeneity of population with respect to the mortality. The core of this theory has been initiated in 1979, the exposition of it is illustrated by a series of simple examples. (original abstract)
