Ihe paper puts forward a thesis that an acute and wide social conflict which took place in Poland at the end of the 70-ties and beginning of the 00-ties was the result of formation of a specific kind of social structure. It enabled establishing a limited intra-generation alliance which encompassed the young, and a substantial part of the old generation. The- basis of the alliance was a similarity of interests of young employees and workers being a large social group. These common interests followed directly from the fact that social inequalities were not only related to socio- occupational differences within the Polish society but also to differences among the generations. The analysis of empirical data shows that the young generation of employees, constituting a separate element of social macrostructure, is very much interested in introducing social changes. On the other than, differences in the social situation of particular socio-occupational categories withio the old generation prevented creating a strong opposition against innovative aspirations and activities of the young.

Looking at the last 30 years, one can observes the radical change in the academic and political discourse concerning childhood and children. The concept of “investing in children” has become dominant in the academic discourse and political programme of at least the European Union. Investing in children is located at the core of the social investment strategy. In this article, the social investment paradigm is characterised, and two types of arguments for investing in disadvantaged children are presented. J. Heckman’s explanations concerning the stage of a child’s life cycle in which to invest, and how, are presented. Practical implementation of the Early Child Education and Care in the European countries is outlined.

W ciągu ostatnich 30 lat dokonała się radykalna zmiana dyskursu akademickiego i politycznego na temat dzieci i dzieciństwa. Koncepcja ’inwestowania w dzieci” zdominowała dyskurs akademicki i program polityczny, co najmniej w U nii Europejskiej. Inwestowanie w dzieci stanowi jądro strategii inwestowania społecznego. W artykule scharakteryzowano paradygmat inwestowania społecznego i przedstawiono dwa typy argumentacji na rzecz inwestowania w dzieci z defaworyzowanych środowisk. Omówiona została koncepcja J. Heckmana dotycząca inwestowania w dzieci małe oraz efektywne sposoby interwencji. Wskazano na praktyczną implementację inwestowania w małe dzieci w krajach Unii Europejskiej.

The article contains an attempt at showing mechanisms and tendencies concerning the operation of social organizations in the working youth environment, which led to the questioning of the existing institutional forms monopolizing the social activity. The analysis is based on results of empiric studies on social involvement of young industrial workers (between 18 and 30 years of age). The obtained results show that the social involvement before August 1980 represented a function of the place held by particular categories of young workers in the formal structure of an industrial company. The easiest “access" to social-type activities had young “managers" (the so-called medium-level technical supervision i.e. foremen, managers of sections etc.), the smallest one - workers with poor qualifications and poor educational background. The fact that activities of social organizations were based on the medium-level technical supervision was, in our conviction, a result of excessive growth of the mobilization function of organizations in an industrial company. Such mechanism of functioning of organizations accounted for the fact that membership in organizations in relation to executive workers, and especially qualified and white-collar workers not only did not represent a platform for their subject status out, on the contrary, it inpreased their feeling of being objects. Both in production sphere and in organizations they were allocated exclusively the executive role.

The article discusses an attempt at determinations of correlations existing between the social activity and the social structure. The social activity may represent a category of description of particular segnents of the social structure, and it can also be treated as one of mechanisms of changes in the social structure. Previous propositions of classification of participation in the social activity seem to be insufficient with the present stąte of researches on the social structure, which takes into consideration not only division into classes and social strata but also differentiation within big social groups. Therefore, it becomes necessary to perform a more precise taxonomy of participation in the social activity. The author proposes that the following classification criteria should be employed: 1. Membership in social and political organizations. 2. Co-operation with social organizations not based on membership principles. 3. Role of participation in activities of an organization ("ordinary member", tasks performer, co-organizer of activities). 4. Number of organizations with which one co-operates.

The paper considers covert incentives and qualifying factors of falling into poverty in two Polish big industrial cities, Łódź and Katowice. The researches on poverty (understood in comparative terms) reached the households eligible for the welfare temporary subsidies. Analysis of figures covers the ‘officially poor’ ones, viz. households with annual earnings per capita not exceeding the minimum retirement wage, where emerge such disabling factors as single-parenthood, homelessness, the need to protect maternity, unemployment, etc. Among the causes of growing impoverishment of Polish society in recent years, authors suggest the worldwide processes: restructuring the economies, deindustrialization, privatization, along with particular Polish conditions. Further analysis applies, as its theoretical framework, the model of individual’s provisions that include three systems: the state coverage, the market forces and the family. That model suggests variety of settings that could cause falling into poverty. The figures show, that qualifying factors of becoming poor merges into a whole with three systems mentioned and that poverty in the investigated cities correlates with: - family life crumbling and overburdening by the number of children, - the situation in the labor market that restrains the households incomes, - inappropriate provision of social benefits for the families outwards the labor market. The impoverished families in Łódź and Katowice seemed comprehended similarly, yet not alike. In Łódź the poverty almost thoroughly concerned the fraction of so called ‘new poor’ (single mothers, jobless persons, low-paid families with children), while in Katowice, besides the ‘new poor’ emerges the category of ‘traditionally poor’ ones, as disabled persons, chronically diseased, etc.
