The article is devoted to the role of human factor in social development of the region. The human factor has a special meaning for the Nadodrze, because of the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the series of population processes taking place in this area in the years 1946-2035, as well as changing at this time spatial arrangement of Nadodrze voivodships. The particular importance in the construction of social objectives in strategies development (ammendment) for individual regions should have their demographic profiles so the empirical picture of the social situation appropriately enhanced could become the basis for diagnosis, without which the process of economic and social changes can not be properly defined.

Author indicates the various, possible consequences of growing inequalities.

Social development causes a comprehensive increase in the quality of human capital. It is necessary for the society to achieve a higher civilization level. A sufficient level of national income is needed to achieve it, which will ensure financing of widely available public services. This income can be generated by increasing economic freedom, which affects faster GDP growth. Current researches show that economic freedom also have a positive impact on other indicators of social development, such as education and life expectancy. Higher incomes, generated by a more liberal economy, leads to higher budget income, and thus also to the improvement of the quality of public services.

Development is a category characterised by dynamism and includes not only a quantitative, but also a qualitative element. This is a process of multiplying the number of possible choices to be made by every human being. The following three factors play a fundamental role on all levels of development: providing conditions which enable long and healthy life, a full access to information, and an access to means allowing for decent standard of living. It is of crucial importance to diagnose the socio-economic, endogenous, and exogenous factors of the regional development. The following are the most important characteristics of decentralised development: good use of local resources (related to raw materials and to human resources), development based on continuation (on tradition), social bonds. However, it is difficult to unambiguously specify the above-mentioned factors, for they operate simultaneously (not with the same impact, however). The effort of the regional community's members is of extreme importance in the development of almost every region. Since the level, speed, and structure of the regional development always results from human talents, knowledge, foresight, enterprise, initiative, and own expenditures to improve living conditions. Thus, the factor called "human capital" plays a fundamental role in the development of modern society and economy. This study will constitute an analysis of the issues from the regional perspective, i.e. of Lower Silesia Voivodeship

Badania porównawcze między państwami są powszechnie spotykane w ekonomii, historii czy geografii. Polegają one na analizie wskaźników opisujących gospodarkę, społeczeństwo czy środowisko, często przy tym prowadzą do grupowań krajów według poziomu rozwoju rozpatrywanego według rozmaitych kryteriów. Polska w tych porównaniach plasuje się na ogół w grupie państw o średnim poziomie rozwoju, za bogatymi krajami Europy Zachodniej, Ameryki Północnej, Azji Wschodniej czy Oceanii. Stwierdzenie, że nasz kraj był i nadal jest słabiej rozwinięty od szeroko pojmowanego Zachodu stanowi truizm. Nasuwa się jednak pytanie, jak zmieniał się ten cywilizacyjny dystans do światowej czołówki w długiej perspektywie czasowej. Artykuł jest próbą jego określenia na podstawie danych od uzyskania przez Polskę niepodległości aż do współczesności. (fragment tekstu)

The purpose of this article is to anticipate how the development gap between Poland and rich Western countries changed from gaining independence up today. Six indicators were analyzed: GDP per capita, male and female life expectancy, infant mortality, passenger cars and telephone subscribers per 100 persons. After collecting historical data for 25 developed countries the Author calculated when (how many years earlier) did those states achieved a defined indicator value for Poland. The results show that during the interwar period the backwardness of Poland increased. After the war it was steadily decreasing until mid-1960s, only to rise again to an all-time high in late 1980s/early 1990s. During the last 20 years the gap between Poland and the West was substantially reduced. (original abstract)
