The problem of social security is closely related to meeting the needs of residents with a focus on inequalities between different groups at both the regional and local levels. Meeting the needs requires the existence and proper operation of certain institutions that solve social issues. It could be said that this is an area linked to and dependent on social policy, which has no clear definition in literature. Without a doubt, in the context of the development of security the essential elements of that policy are such as social policy, labor protection, employment, health, housing, educational, cultural and environmental protection, prevention and combating social pathology, population, family, policy considering the youth and old people. It is obvious that this kind of policy is limited to providing no equivalent benefits.

The family as the smallest social entity underlies each society and fulfils three basic functions: procreative, educational and economic. Among others, deteriorating economic conditions, i.e. high unemployment rate, low salary, increase of both running and educational costs are the main problems that face contemporary families. Expansion of pathological phenomena e.g. alcoholism, drug addiction, violence within the family, and crime can lead to the breakdown of the family. Other threats to the family persistence are disintegration of an extended family, lowering number of children per family.

Development disparities observed in the Pomeranian Region strongly affect its local labour markets, which calls for a wide range of strategies of reducing unemployment and counteracting social marginalization effectively. Local authorities have put the necessary labour and social policies in place, associating them with the regulations binding for the whole region. The most important documents included Development Strategy of the Pomeranian Region until 2020, Pomeranian Employment Scheme and Regional Social Policy Program. They guided this study and confirmed that labour markets require regular evaluations. Consequently, the aim of the study is to outline labour and social policies introduced by the local authorities in the Pomeranian Region.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie strategii i planów działań w obszarze rynku pracy przygotowanych przez władze samorządowe województwa pomorskiego. Władze regionalne i lokalne województwa pomorskiego opracowały szereg dokumentów wytyczających główne kierunki polityki rynku pracy. Najważniejsze z nich to Strategia Rozwoju Województwa Pomorskiego do roku 2020 oraz Regionalny Plan Działań na rzecz Zatrudnienia dla Województwa Pomorskiego. Ich pozytywną cechą jest spójność wzajemna oraz z odpowiednimi dokumentami i planami centralnymi. Punktem wyjścia dla opracowania tych dokumentów i wynikającej z niej strategii w zakresie rynku pracy są dysproporcje rozwojowe występujące w województwie pomorskim. Rzutują one bardzo silnie na sytuację na lokalnych rynkach pracy, co wymaga zróżnicowanego podejścia, m.in. do działań zmierzających do ograniczenia bezrobocia i zapobiegania marginalizacji niektórych grup społecznych.

The main problem of this article is the basic income guarantee in the perspective of institutional economics. The author evaluates theoretical literature considering the topic and discusses past empirical research. The predicted and the actual outcomes of the programme are compared and synthesized using the New Institutional Economics framework. Hence the basic income guarantee is presented as a social policy proposition, and also as an institution in the meaning of this branch of economics. Originality of this approach relies on the novel use of institutional tools in the discussion considering the problem, mainly in the context of the empirical and theoretical results’ comparison.

The subject of this article is a big city social Policy towards old people with an example of Warsaw. The author was inspired to write this text with her partici- pation in a workgroup “Exclusion of elderly persons,” which prepared a diagnosis and formulated initial suggestions to the Social Strategy for Warsaw 2009–2020. It seems, that regardless the differences between big towns, basic goals and assumptions for the policy towards senior citizens are similar in the majority of metropolitan communities. Due to the fact that any proposal concerning social policy should be preceded by a diag- nosis, the article begins with the description of demographic situation of big Polish towns (above half million population) and with a diagnosis of the situation of senior citi- zens in Warsaw. Demographic and socio-economic data were obtained from the Central Statistical Office publications.

At present, liberal democracies conduct various policies in relation to people with disabilities. Several models of policy can be distinguished such as social-democratic, liberal, and corporate among others. This paper examines how the inclusion of people with disabilities is achieved in Canada. The inclusion of people with disabilities is achieved through the redistribution of the state income to secure health and social benefits while promoting a society without barriers and a culture of integration. It corresponds with the social democratic model or institutional- redistributive with an emphasis on human rights and universality.

The subject of this paper is to analyse the reconstruction of the pension system resulting from legislative changes introduced in 2011, the most important being the transfer of part of pension contributions from the open pension fund (OFE) to a newly set up special subaccount managed by the Social Insurance Institution, modifications in administrative regulation of open pension funds investment policy and introduction of tax incentives for making additional savings for retirement purposes. These transformations result from assumed financial goals such as reduction of public debt growth by reducing the cost of introducing the second capital pillar in 1999. However, given the social importance of pension insurance the changes should be assessed against assumptions of the pension reform of 1999 and constitutional principles. Key words:

In Poland, parliament has played a signifi cant role in creating, however, this role has signifi cantly evolved along with political and constitutional transformations. Until 1926, Parliament was the primary place for lawmaking, but later part of its powers in this respect were lost. After 1926, social legislation was based on presidential regulations, and legislative proposal submitted in the Sejm had no chance of success. Although the circumstances existing in Poland in the 1930s were similar to those from the fi rst period of independence, but the actual role of parliament in creating social policy was undoubtedly smaller than in the days of the Legislative Sejm, and the Sejm and Senate of the first term.

The main goal of this paper is a collation of methods for diagnosing subjective poverty. The comparison concerns the methods of identification of poverty in the sub-regions of the Pomeranian region. The methods of identification proposed by the author indicate that the proposed methods identify poverty much more precisely than the universal methods. It can be considered to carry on the policy of limiting poverty areas based on the local monitoring. The assembled conclusions can allow improvement of accuracy of directing social help and at the same time can increase acceptance of the rules used in administering this help.

The unfavorable demographic situation and the falling number of births resulted in an increased interest among Polish politicians in introducing tools to social policy that would reverse this negative trend. Implemented to social policy by Prawo i Sprawiedliwość Party in 2016, the “Family 500+” benefit has become such a tool. According to the government’s intention, this financial aid for families with children aims to reverse the decline in the number of births observed for many years and reduce the scale of poverty among families with the most complex financial situation. After several years of the “Family 500+” Program in force, it is difficult to clearly define whether the goals were achieved and whether the expenses for financing the program were adequate to the results. The aim of the article is an attempt at the assessment of the functioning of the Family 500+ Programme. Both the statutory assumptions of the programme, the costs of its functioning, and its results so far were analyzed. The central part of the analysis covered the period 2016–2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the elderly in a special way. On the one hand, it contributed to the increase in health deficits and those related to social isolation. On the other hand, it also had a significant impact on the level and methods of support provided to seniors. The pandemic situation turned out to be a particular challenge for local governments and non-governmental organisations operating in various areas of senior policy. The general aim of the article was to analyse the state’s initiatives aimed at counteracting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic addressed to seniors and examples of activities of the local government and the civil sector cooperating with it for the benefit of this group of people. In turn, the specific objective was to identify and understand the greatest difficulties that seniors had during the pandemic and the role played by the non-governmental organisation (both during the pandemic and as an entity of potential support in the future, which was particularly interesting given the European Union promoting services provided in the local environment). In connection with the specific objective, qualitative research was carried out using the in-depth interview method. The interviews were based on scripts that concerned four areas: problems and experiences of the elderly during the pandemic, help and support, communication, health, and well-being.
