The article is devoted to the analysis of the preliminary results of the “Fam­ily 500+” cash benefit introduced in Poland in the second quarter of 2016. The results are considered on a theoretical and comparative basis from the point of view of the politically declared objectives of the cash benefit, especially the radical reduction of child poverty and the improvement of fertility. The analysis is based on the BBGD unit data (2015 and 2016), EU-SILC data, including 2016, and data from the OECD database (Family Database). Preliminary results show that the 500+ benefit succeeded in reducing income poverty in many families, improving the structure of consumption for the needs of the whole family, but, at the same time, increased the tendency of mothers to leave the labour market, which is a phenomenon that had already started in Poland before the implementation of the 500+ benefit.

Child care benefit (500+) is a new cash instrument of family policy introduced in Poland in 2016. There were a lot of discussions on many respects of the new benefit. One of them is expected impact on child, family and total poverty. In the first part I described goals of family policy and the 500+ in comparison to family benefits. Second part contains critical examination of official justification of 500+ in the light of a theory of poverty reduction by cash benefits. In the main part I presented shortly microsimulation models and results of three of them (Ministry of Finance, World Bank and European Commission). It is likely that 500+ impact on overall poverty and child and family poverty in financial dimension will be impressive. In the result the change of the structure of poverty risk in Poland can be substantial.

This article attempts to answer the question: what role does the process of early childhood education and care play in reducing the effects of poverty among children? The main argument of the article states that education (started as early and lasting as long as possible) is the only chance to limit the negative consequences of poverty, as well as to overcome the intergenerational transmission of poverty and social exclusion. Relying on the results of foreign (mostly American) surveys, it has been proven that good quality early childhood education and care is beneficial for children living in poverty, as well as for society as a whole. It positively influences the social and emotional development of children, their language skills and school achievements. Children who benefited from institutions / programmes for early childhood education and care, in adulthood do better in the labour market, have higher earnings and are less likely to seek stimulants. Society bears lower costs of special education, anti-social behaviour, criminal proceedings, social welfare and health of young people and adults.

Child allowance (500+) is a new family benefit introduced in Poland in 2016. There is a lot of discussions on many respects of the new benefit. One of them is expected impact on child, family and general poverty. In the first part I described goals of family policy and the new benefit in comparison to family benefits. Second part contains critical examination of official justification of 500+ in the light of a theory of poverty reduction by cash benefits. In the main part I presented shortly microsimulation models and results of three of them (Ministry of Finance, World Bank and European Commission). It is likely that 500+ impact on overall poverty and child and family poverty in financial dimension will be impressive. In the result the change of the structure of poverty risk in Poland can be substantial.

Tematem artykułu jest wpływ świadczenia wychowawczego (500+) na ubóstwo relatywne i skrajne ogółem, rodzin oraz dzieci. W pierwszym punkcie porównano 500+ z zasiłkami rodzinnymi. W drugiej części przedstawiono cel ograniczenia ubóstwa w świetle dokumentów i wypowiedzi rządowych, teorii i danych empirycznych. W ostatnim punkcie zestawiono szacunki wpływu 500+ na ubóstwo na podstawie trzech modeli mikrosymulacyjnych: Ministerstwa Finansów, Banku Światowego i Komisji Europejskiej (EUROMOD). Z tych szacunków wynika, że ograniczenie ubóstwa, w szczególności rodzin z dziećmi i dzieci może być bardzo znaczące. W związku z tym struktura zagrożenia ubóstwem w Polsce może zasadniczo się zmienić i najbardziej zagrożone nim będą teraz jednoosobowe gospodarstwa domowe.

Dzieci są najbiedniejszą grupą społeczną – tę podstawową tezę potwierdzają dane statystyczne Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego w Polsce oraz różnorodne raporty. Odwołują się one do standardowych, ekonomicznych miar i wskaźników ubóstwa oraz nierówności społecznych przyjmowanych przez ekonomistów i polityków społecznych. Nie są one jednak adekwatne do sytuacji dzieci. W raportach UNICEF pojawiają się inne rozwinięte wskaźniki i mierniki dziecięcego ubóstwa. Potwierdzają one wyjściową tezę o dziecięcej biedzie, nadają badaniom z tego zakresu pedagogiczny charakter.

Children are the most unprivileged social group – this thesis is supported by statistical data from „GUS” (Main Statistical Office in Poland) and multiple reports. They refer to standardized economic measures and indicators of poverty and social inequality, established by economists and social politicians. Unfortunately they are not fully adequate in the situation of children. UNICEF reports include other highly advanced indicators and measures of children’s poverty. They also confirm the initial thesis about child poverty, giving the research in this field a truly pedagogical character.
