The article attempts to demonstrate that the process of genetic modification of food and its consequences in the form of influencing the health of entire societies, agro-ecosystems and the environment, which increasingly depends on the degree to which basic needs are met, is a contemporary social issue. Based on the results of mainly biochemical and biotechnological research, the types of genetic modifications of food and their impact on health have been analysed. Secondary analysis of the studies allowed the identification of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome of laboratory animals in reaction to the consumption of genetically modified plants. The paper also analyses the documents of the European Union and the Polish legislation concerning the admission to cultivation and subsequent trade of food products containing genetically modified ingredients.

Social exclusion is a concept, which has been popularized in social policy programs since the 1970s. In documents of the European Union, exclusion virtually eliminated the concept of poverty, although it is mainly defined through poverty. The definitions of social exclusion evolve towards adding more and more dimensions to the phenomenon. This article attempts to answer the question whether we are really dealing with a completely new social phenomenon or whether previously known phenomena, such as: poverty, social inequality, marginalisation or discrimination have evolved so that this new quality needed new nomenclature. The article deals with multidimensional definitions of social exclusion, the provenance of the concept in public debate, as well as the discourse’s directions and paradigms of social exclusion.

The article presents the influence of unequal access to green space on human health, resulting in the formation of health inequalities. The work is based on the hypothesis that unequal access to green areas in the place of residence and leisure, largely determined by the level of income and the scope of implementation of sustainable development strategy by the state, contributes to deepening social health inequalities. The article analyses the attitude towards the impact of access to green space on health present in official documents and related researchIt also identifies a direct link between limited access to green space and social health inequalities. In the last part of the article, legal regulations concerning access to greenery in Poland are presented.

Social cooperative is a specific form of cooperative work. It is an association of people at risk of social exclusion, which combines both the economic and social functions. The most important goal of social cooperative is to prevent social exclusion. Vocational activation of the members is part of a complete social reintegration and leads to greater social cohesion. The objective of this paper is to determine the extent to which social cooperatives operating in Poznań fulfill the obligation of reintegration of the groups at risk of social exclusion, imposed on them by the Act on Social Cooperatives. The article contains analysis of the relevant legislation, official documents, as well as the results and interpretation of empirical research based on survey methodology.

Koncepcja flexicurity stanowiła kluczową kwestię w debatach i działalności instytucji Unii Europejskiej z zakresu zatrudnienia i polityki społecznej przez ostatnie dwie dekady. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza idei flexicurity w kontekście odpowiedzialności za rozwój rynku pracy. Odpowiedzialność jest przerzucana na państwo i pracowników, podczas gdy pracodawcy są zwolnieni z odpowiedzialności za koszty społeczne związane z fluktuacjami cyklu koniunkturalnego. Artykuł zawiera analizę procesu uelastyczniania rynku pracy i jego kompensacji poprzez system zabezpieczenia, krytycznego podejścia do modeli flexicurity oraz wyzwań związanych z implementacją tej koncepcji.

The concept of flexicurity has been a key issue in the discussions and activities of institutions of the European Union in the field of employment and social policy for about two decades. The purpose of this article is to analyze the idea of flexicurity in the context of responsibility for development of the labour market. The responsibility is mostly transferred to the state and employees, while the employers are exempt from accountability for the social costs associated with the fluctuations in the economic cycle. The article contains the analysis of the labour market flexibilisation process and its compensation with the security system, critical approach to flexicurity models and challenges associated with the implementation of this concept.

Według Anthony’ego Giddensa państwo inwestycji społecznych miało być trzecią drogą między neoliberalizmem a powojennym państwem opiekuńczym, kwintesencją podejścia zorientowanego na przyszłość, w którym państwo staje się przedsiębiorcą. Wydatki państwa są w tej koncepcji postrzegane jako forma inwestycji w kapitał ludzki i rozumiane jako dobrobyt pozytywny. Implementacja państwa inwestycji społecznych pociąga za sobą zjawisko obywatelstwa odpowiedzialnych odbiorców ryzyka. W literaturze dotyczącej inwestycji społecznych powtarza się refleksja, że model ten jest wynikiem potrzeby reagowania na radykalnie zmieniony porządek gospodarczy i społeczny, w tym wyzwania zglobalizowanej gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Model zachęca do aktywnego uczestnictwa w poszukiwaniu rozwiązań dla społecznych zmian strukturalnych, takich jak: starzenie się społeczeństwa, zmiana modelu rodziny czy rynku pracy. Pomimo faktu, że model inwestycji społecznych oparty jest na wolnym rynku, postrzeganym jako najbardziej odpowiedni dla organizacji społeczeństw, to nie jest to już tak zwany nieubłagany rynek. Podkreśla się bowiem potrzebę interwencji rządu i ukierunkowania sił rynkowych w celu poprawy zarówno wyników gospodarczych, jak i społecznych. Celem artykułu jest weryfikacja tezy o usytuowaniu paradygmatu inwestycyjnej polityki społecznej pomiędzy mechanizmami wolnorynkowymi a państwem dobrobytu, dwiema skrajnie różnymi interpretacjami współczesnej rzeczywistości społeczno-gospodarczej.

According to Anthony Giddens, the state of social investment was to be the third way between neoliberalism and the post-war welfare state, the quintessence of a future-oriented approach in which the state becomes an entrepreneur. In this concept, state expenditures are perceived as a form of investment in human capital and understood as positive prosperity. The implementation of the state of social investment entails the phenomenon of citizenship of responsible risk recipients. In the literature on social investments, the reflection is repeated that this model is the result of the need to respond to the radically changed economic and social order, including the challenges of a globalized knowledge-based economy. The model encourages active participation in the search for solutions for social structural changes, such as aging population, changing the family model or the labour market. Despite the fact that the social investment model is based on the free market perceived as the most suitable for the organisation of societies, this is no longer the so-called inexorable market. It emphasizes the need for government intervention and targeting market forces to improve both economic and social performance. The aim of the article is to verify the thesis about the investment paradigm of social policy between free-market mechanisms and the welfare state, two extremely different interpretations of contemporary socioeconomic reality.

On the management structure of higher education an equivalent impact have external interaction as well as the internal determinants. Higher education facilities compete with each other in the regional and global dimension on the free market basis. European universities are evolving into open organizations for the environment. The model of added value creation is changing: in traditional model supply and demand of services were important, nowadays value-added are new stakeholders (business communities, particularly the local ones, local authorities, NGOs), and it is the inclusion of those entities, which, as institutionalized or not, have a real impact on the decisions of institutions of higher education, should be seen as a strategic goal. The autonomy of public universities is in fact limited by law, forcing submission to the pattern established by the state. Despite this, the state has little ability to pursue the assumed educational and science policy. The current structure of management in higher education is not sufficiently clear and unwieldy, and substantive autonomy of universities is lower than in many other EU and OECD countries. The article attempts to answer the question to which extent solutions and experiences of European higher education systems are able to influence the reform process launched in Poland and to identify constraints inside the system which slow this process.

Women’s empowerment is a process of gradual growth of the spiritual, political, social and economic strength of individuals, communities or entire societies. Strengthening the social position often entails strengthening confidence in one’s own abilities. It is also connected with full participation of women in economic life in all sectors, which is very important in the context of strengthening economies and achieving desirable goals of sustainable development. Social business introduces a completely revolutionary dimension to a free market economy. This does not interfere with the profit-generating mechanism, on the contrary, it promotes investment, management and competitiveness. Satisfaction obtained in achieving specific social goals is the only motive for the investment, and the resulting business is assessed in accordance with this standard. The article presents the process of empowering poor women from the rural district of Magura in Bangladesh, possible to carry out through the activities of the BRAC (Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee). The work refers to the effectiveness of activities in the field of social business, first in the context of changing the awareness of rights and the self-worth of women taking part in such projects, and secondly in the context of improving their socio-economic status and exiting poverty.
