Poverty poses a particular danger to households with dependent children because they contain individuals who do not earn their own income. This makes identifying factors that influence the economic situation (and poverty) of such households one of the key issues in family-oriented policy. One of the essential questions concerns the relationship between the State’s general economic situation and family income and welfare; that is, does economic growth improve the relative position of families? In the case of pro-poor growth, the State would be absolved from transfer-based policy, which is in place to support poor families. With that in mind, the main aim of the paper is to analyse how positive economic growth influences the relative economic situation of families with dependent children. In the Household Budget Survey conducted by the Polish Central Statistical Office, families (both childless and with children) are distinguished from all households. Because of the unambiguously defined structure of such households and the special importance of families in the context of family-oriented policy, this research takes into account only such households.

The aim of this paper is an empirical analysis of the convergence process in the years 1993-2008 and the impact of economic growth on income distribution in selected European Union countries. Considering this fact one can state that research was conducted from the perspective of EU citizens. The crucial hypothesis of this paper is statement that convergence is differently perceived in terms of entire economies, and gives a different picture from the perspective of the single citizen of the selected country. The analysis was carried out in several stages. Initially, the authors referred to the classical convergence hypotheses (unconditional 'beta' and 'sigma' convergence) within the EU-27, then the same assumptions were examined taking into account population - weighted indicators. However, the main aim of research undertaken in this study was to investigate the individual within - country distribution of income for the initial and final period, which allowed to answer the question whether faster growth of the 'new EU' was accompanied by reduction of inequalities within analyzed economic systems.

In the first part of the paper we describe the origin and the substance of the Post-Keynesian economics, which in the last decades became a distinctive, dissident stream of the contemporary economic thought. To its forerunners and founders belonged a group of the Cambridge economists. One of the most prominent 'proto-Post-Keynesians' was Nicholas Kaldor, whose work is appreciated in the second part of the article. There is described Kaldor's 'neoclassical' period, his transition to the Keynesian economics and his main contributions - particularly the theory of income distribution and economic growth as well as his critique of the theory of the economic equilibrium and monetarism.

In this paper an attempt to verify, whether the empirical data confirm the welfare determinants suggested in economic literature, like e.g. educational, geographical, behavioural features of the individual and his/her parents, see e.g. Wedgwood (1928). The analysis is conducted using machine learning tools and then the obtained results are compared with other studies. To ensure the possibility of such assessment the capability of interpretation in terms of natural language is needed and thus the knowledge in the form of classification rules is presented.

Over the past 20 years, diversity in European countries increased markedly, with very large differences between countries. Social disparities are significantly greater for example in the UK or Spain than in the Nordic countries. These differences are directly related to the social origins of national elites. Distribution of wealth in society is largely determined by the elite, and in the way of their interests can only stand opposing forces in society.
