Demographic changes have an impact on the economic situation of all West European countries. Aging of the population and falling fertility rates are challenges that every government on the continent must deal with. The analysis was based on data concerning demographic situation in Germany. It is the most populous country of the European Union, which has been struggling with crucial demographic changes for several decades. The German government has an active pro-family policy, which mainly aims to increase the number of births. Yet, according to forecasts, the population of Germany will decrease, reaching 80% of the population of 2012 by 2060. The purpose of this paper is to examine the causes of demographic changes in Germany, their effects on the public finances, and the potential effects of the implementation of measures to neutralize the unwanted economic phenomena. The main conclusion is that the public finances of Germany will have to cope with new demographic situation, which may involve the need to further reform the pension system, develop a comprehensive family policy, and the activization of the elderly.

The precarious and decisive dy namics concerning the health of the populat ion of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries has called for further inquiry into the determinants of life expectancy (LE) in this region. Hence, the current paper employs the panel data estimation methods to analyse the economic, social, demographic, environmental, and technological factors influencing LE in five SAARC countries. These countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) are selected as they are favoured by the country similarity theory and other identical contexts. Available secondary data from 2000 to 2016 were obtained from the World Bank and UNDP databases for the specfic countries. The results reveal that the mean year of schooling and sanitation services are significant positive predictors of life expectancy at birth (LEAB). However, the total fertility rate, urban population, and CO2 emissions negatively influence life expectancy. Furthermore, the impact of health expenditure on life expectancy is significant but negative, which is unconventional. On the other hand, other independent variables, such as GDP, gross capital formation, internet usage, and mobile cellular subscription turn out to be insignificant predictors of LEAB. Our aggregate findings reveal some common factors on which the governments of SAARC countries can colla borate to improve the LEAB of the region while identifying some idiosyncratic factors that require tailored attention of the governments and policymakers of the respective nations.

The purpose of the study is to present the spatial diversification of the level of the balance on the local labour market in the rural areas. The spatial unit of the analysis is constituted by rural communes (gminas) and the rural areas of the urban-rural communes in Poland according to the administrative division into town and village. This means that the research concerns the spatial diversification observed according to 2,171 units. It was accepted in the research that a balanced labour market occurs where favourable demographic structures are located around the largest regional centres in Poland. This is connected with the development of the communes' non-agricultural economic functions and a strong dependence on urban markets.

In the article the peculiarities of the sociolinguistic situation in Donetchina have been examined, and a comparison of the varied sociolinguistic portraits of the cities of Amvrosiyivka, Yenakievo, Shakhtarsk with the general contemporary language situation in the Donetsk region has been made. In addition, using the census, the dynamics of the national language of the study population has been traced. A sociolinguistic portrait of these Donbass cities enabled the detection of territorial inclusions, asymmetric to the general language situation, with an opposition between city/small town.

W opracowaniu zwrócono uwagę na problematykę słabo reprezentowanąw dotychczasowym dorobku tej dyscypliny. Celem jest pobudzenie do refleksji nad przyszłością polityki społecznej w wymiarze globalnym. Nawiązano do kilku publikacji, m.in.firmowanych przez Klub Rzymski, i na ich bazie zaprezentowano wybrane, kluczowe kwestie społeczne. Wśród nichznajdują się, po pierwsze: aktualne problemy demograficzneświata, które współcześnie generują zagadnienia socjalne przyszłości; po drugie: problemnarastających konfliktów generacyjnych, wynikający z demograficznej asymetrii międzygrupami aktywnymi zawodowo a rosnącą grupą seniorów; po trzecie: kwestia narastających globalnych różnic socjalnych, z których wynikają radykalne formy protestu oraz ryzyka socjalne. Przypomniano istnienie różnych modeli globalizacji i adekwatnych do nich koncepcji polityki społecznej. Przywołano w konkluzjach otwarte pytania Jørgena Randersa o przyszłość. Tekst jest uzupełniony o konstatację dotyczącą ewolucji punktów zwrotnych w globalnej polityce społecznej: handlu niewolnikami, handlu narkotykami, terroryzmu oraz aktywności organizacji ponadnarodowych, które są nośnikami dyfuzji innowacji społecznych, rozwiązując pojawiające się globalne kwestie socjalne.

Basing on the selected publications by Club of Rome, crucial social issues are discussed. Among them are: current demographic problems of the world, the rising risk of generational conflict resulting from the growing asymmetry between working-age cohorts and the retirement-age cohorts, as well as the problem of growing social discrepancies causing radical forms of protest. In the second part of the paper various models of globalization are described in order to show their links with global social policy concepts. In the third part it is claimed that turning points in global social policy refer to: human trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism and internationalorganizations’ behavior.
