Increasing percentage of old population and main causes of morbidity and mortality in European countries clearly indicate great importance of the effective health promotion and noncommunicable disease prevention interventions. Numerous research, conferences and policies of European Union and WHO suggest that elimination of social inequalities are crucial for reducing health inequalities. Low health literacy is linked to poorer health status and higher rates of hospital admission, less likely adherence to prescribed treatments and care plans, experience of more drug and treatment errors, and less use of preventive services. Thus, health literacy is necessary for adequate patient engagement in health promotion action.

The aim of this article is to analyse the extent to which differences between young people’s education, employment status, and social background can explain the differences in their emigration intentions and actual experience with emigration. The goal is to create a profile of youth with emigration experience and examine the interrelation between two transitions, from education to work and from youth into adulthood, as measured by the degree of independence from parents, and also to investigate social inequalities among people with emigration experience in the transition from education to finding a first job. The analysis is based on theories of the individual life-course transition and social status theories. The empirical data were gathered from a representative survey conducted in Bulgaria in 2014 that focused on young people aged 15–34 who had left education within the previous five years. The results show that young people from large families with many siblings more often have emigration intentions and that previous emigration experience is the strongest predictor of emigration intentions. Emigration intensions are also more likely among people who have emigrated and later returned and ended up economically inactive. This fact is important in understanding the large number of young people who are not in education or employment (NEETs) in Bulgaria.

The problem of modern society is that it does not integrate its members into functional systems as a collectivity of individuals with a sense of community and interdependence, but makes them a group of consumers who want to achieve success on their own and for their own benefits. However, not everyone is able to achieve the desired goal. As a result, we have social inequalities that significantly affect relationships and social processes. For many years, economists and sociologists have pointed to the fact that economic success does not necessarily translate into welfare (or quality of life) of societies. They even talk about the “breakdown of society” phenomenon, i.e., an increase in antisocial behaviour and a loss of a sense of community. In the current social reality, we can identify many examples of the fact that their fears are justified. All this makes the need for educational measures to stop or even reverse these phenomena threatening social cohesion seem reasonable.

The purpose of the article is to illustrate the social order preferred by the Polish together with their assessment of the existing social inequalities. On the basis of the empirical material collected among the sample of 1000 respondents, the findings show manners of their definition of equity, perception of discrepancies between the ideal of equity and the existing real status, together with their assessment of the existing differences in the treatment of rich and poor people by various institutions (banks, police, hospitals, courts). The article also describes the causes of social inequalities as indicated by the respondents and their assessment of state policies in reference to them. The article concludes that 25 years after the collapse of “real socialism”, Polish society presents a firmly egalitarian awareness that is in conflict with the current market order.

Social inequalities and digital exclusion in the information society The article presents selected topics on social inequalities in the information society. The concept of digital stratification was introduced along with the causes of digital inequalities. The second part of the article presents the problem of social exclusion in the digital age, to which seniors are particularly exposed. Współczesne społeczeństwa w krajach rozwiniętych coraz bardziej nabierają charakteru poprzemysłowego. Równolegle w celu ich charakterystyk używane się odniesienia do dominujących w nim sił - wiedzy, informacji, mediów, sieci. O ile w społeczeństwie agrarnym, zdaniem D. Bella, kluczowe problemy gospodarowania wiązały się z transportem materiałów, w społeczeństwie przemysłowym z transportem energii, tak w erze postindustrialnej dotyczą one transportu informacji (za: Michalczyk, 2008, s. 38). Informacje (choć nie zawsze wiedza) sprzężone są z technologiami dystrybuującymi, w związku z czym kluczowe sfery aktywności człowieka ulegają mediatyzacji. Obiegi informacyjne, kreowanie

Artykuł rozważa redystrybucyjną funkcję Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej Unii Europejskiej (WPR) służącej do podtrzymania dochodów rolniczych. Część teoretyczna omawia przejawy interwencjonizmu państwowego w rolnictwie i uzasadnienie jego redystrybucyjnej funkcji. Część empiryczna zawiera analizę wpływu transferów finansowych z UE na rozkład dochodów gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce w okresie 2004–2012. Dzięki redystrybucyjnej funkcji transferów publicznych dokonywanych w ramach WPR dyspersja dochodów rolników zmniejsza się, co pokazuje współczynnik Giniego i jego zmiany następujące wraz z upływem czasu. Niemniej jednak zróżnicowanie dochodów rolników jest większe niż dochodów reszty społeczeństwa, a luka dochodowa między rolnictwem a resztą gospodarki pozostaje wciąż duża.

The paper deals with the redistributive function of the EU CAP to support farm incomes. The theoretical part presents evidence of state interventionism in agriculture and the justification for its redistributive function. The empirical part contains an analysis of the impact of the financial transfers received from the EU on income distribution among farmers in Poland in the period 2004–2012. With the implementation of the redistributive function of public transfers under CAP, the dispersion of farmers income is reduced, as evidenced by the Ginny coefficient and its evolution over time. Nevertheless, the diversification of farmers’ income is greater than in the income of the rest of society and the income gap between agriculture and the rest of economy remains large.

Статья рассматривает перераспределительную функцию совместной сельскохозяйствен- ной политики Евросоюза (ССП), преследующей цель поддержать доходы в сельском хозяйстве. В теоретической части обсуждаются проявления государственного интервен- ционизма в сельском хозяйстве и его функции в области перераспределения. Эмпириче- ская часть содержит анализ влияния финансовых трансфертов из ЕС на доходы хозяйств аграрного сектора в Польше в период 2004–2012 гг. Благодаря перераспределительной функции публичных трансфертов, производимых в рамках ССП, дисперсия доходов крестьян сокращается, на что указывает коэффициент Джини и его изменения, проис- ходящие по мере течения времени. Тем не менее, дифференциация доходов крестьян оказалась выше, чем доходов остального общества, а разрыв доходов между сельским хозяйством и остальной частью экономики все еще остается большим.

The article tackles selected problems that arose in Spain after the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The author focuses mainly on the phenomenon of social inequalities which enlarged significantly in the discussed period. This process was caused by the necessity to introduce sanitary restrictions to protect human life and health. However, they also brought negative consequences in the form of an increase in unemployment which in Spain affected primarily tourism industry, entertainment and recreation services and transportation. It was assumed by the author that the inequality issue would be one of the highest priority for the Spanish government and would be addressed indirectly by reforms introduced in economic recovery plans after the pandemic. In the second part of the article the author also tries to identify the challenges for Spanish diplomacy. The problems associated with Spanish participation in the policy of the European Union are presented. The author assumed that Spanish diplomacy would intensify its activities on the European Union forum during the time of crisis in order to, among other, obtain aid funds on favourable terms. The author also raised the issue of factors that could strengthen Spain’s position and at the same time ensure that its activity within the European Union might be a key to the success of the reforms introduced after the health crisis. The method used included the analysis of existing materials, statistical data, reports and studies published in the period after the outbreak of the pandemic in Europe in 2020. Most of the research was based on Internet sources: reports and analyses of Spanish researchers, government databases, factsheets, and information published by non-governmental organizations.

Structural features of economies constitute disregarded aspects of relations between economic development and social issues. Economic research on inequalities are focused on connections between income disparities and economic growth. Independently, sectoral characteristics of economies are evaluated taking into account their influence on dynamics of growth. The existence of both mainstreams in research pays attention to interrelations: social inequalities and risks – sectoral structure. This is a field of discussion in the study. The aim of the paper is to verify the existence of relations between sectoral structure and social inequalities and risks. The analyses were conducted concerning EU economies, that, despite intensive integration process, are still differentiated by the level of socio-economic development. The starting hypothesis assumed positive influence of structural modernity on limiting social problems. The structure of economies was described by shares in employment of three sectors e.g. agriculture, industry and services as well as by shares in employment of the service sector sections (G-U NACE Rev. 2). Structural modernity was assessed using a model, which was adopted using Luxembourg as the most developed economy in the EU. Social issues were considered in their economic dimension. That is why they were described by the most commonly used indicators of income inequalities that are Gini coefficient and income quintile share ratio (S80/20) and by the rate of risk of poverty or social exclusion. Statistics in use were extracted from Eurostat database and cover the most up-to-date information accessible while preparing the paper that is 2011 year. The analyses were based on correlation indicators that were statistically verified at significance level of α = 0,05. Indicators that characterized total employment relationships in every economy were counted with the usage of Kukuła measure of structural differences. The results of research confirm the existence of interrelationships between structural characteristics of employment and income inequalities and social risks in the EU economies. First of all, they allow to conclude that a big scale of rural employment coexists with big income disparities and intensive problems of poverty and social exclusion. Meanwhile, a big share of employment in the service sector appears in economies with small scale of risks of poverty and exclusion. Moreover, simultaneous evaluation of total employment distribution between the three sectors shows essential relations with poverty. The EU economies which are characterized by more modern structures are experiencing less intensive social problems. The conducted analyses additionally indicate that each kind of activities realised within the service sector in a different way influences issues of income inequalities and poverty. Social problems are more intensive in economies with a big share of employment in retail and wholesale trade. In a contrary, low income disparities and social risks are present in economies with high share of employment in knowledge-intensive services (information and communication; professional, scientific and technical activities). Moreover, minimal social risks and inequalities are observed in economies with a big share of employment in human health and social work activities. General modernity of structure of employment in service sections coexists with small social problems.

Autor podejmuje w artykule dyskusję wokół źródeł – praprzyczyn – nierówności społecz-nych. Znajomość takiego źródła jest o tyle ważna, że może zaistniałaby szansa jego minimalizacji, a jeszcze lepiej eliminacji z życia społecznego. Bo przecież nie chodzi jedynie o sam opis zjawi-ska, co o zapobieżenie jego ekspansji we współczesnym świecie. W artykule tym głosi się tezę, wedle której nierówności społeczne istniały zawsze odkąd ist-niał człowiek. To nie nierówności stanowią problem sam w sobie, ale „kontrasty aksjologiczne”. Zjawiska kontrastu aksjologicznego występują tylko w ludzkim gatunku i nigdzie więcej, nasilają się we współczesnym świecie. Zdaniem autora są dwa źródła wywołujące zjawisko nierówności społecznych, a miano-wicie: biologiczny egoizm oraz posiadanie świadomości. Egoizm ma podłoże instynktu i w tym zakresie nie różnimy się od świata zwierząt. Różnice wywołuje fakt posiadania świado-mości. Świadomość, czyli kontrolowany proces myślowy wytycza nam „dyrektywy” postępo-wania. Psychika człowieka dzięki świadomości (sferze fronesis) skłania człowieka do maksymalizacji bogactwa, gdyż wówczas minimalizuje on w ten sposób trudy życia (przynajmniej w sferze materialnej). Dlatego bardzo słusznie zauważa Józef Bańka, że człowiek w przeci-wieństwie do zwierząt nie ma granic nasycenia wartościami. Zatem głównym źródłem chęci bogacenia się jest ludzka psychika.

The author in the paper undertakes a discussion about sources – great-causes of social ine-qualities. Knowledge about such a source is important as there could exist a chance for its mini-mizing and even better for its eliminating from social life. The issue is not simply to describe a phenomenon but to prevent its expansion in a modern world. The paper professes a thesis that social inequalities have always been present since a man ex-isted. That are not the inequalities what constitute a problem but “axiological contrasts”. Phenom-ena of axiological contrast exist only within human species and nowhere else, they strengthen in a modern world. According to the author two sources inducing phenomenon of social inequalities exist, that are: biological egotism and possessing consciousness. Egotism has its instinct basis and in this dimension we are not different from animal world. Differences are caused by a fact of possessing consciousness. Consciousness, that is a controlled process of thinking marks “directives” of behav-ior out. Human psychics because of consciousness (a fronesis sphere) induces humans to maxim-ize welfare, as then they minimize difficulties of life (at least in a material sphere). Therefore Józef Bańka correctly writes that a man, contrary to animals, does not have limits of values saturation. Thus, a main source of willingness to getting rich is a human psyche.

Development economics emerged as a separate discipline of economic science in the 1950s but it wasn’t until the 1960s and mid-1970s that it began to draw serious attention. Gradually, an extensive literature concerning economic development was built up. In the 1980s it turned out, however, that despite some successes, the economic growth in most of medium and less developed countries was not as high as expected. During the 1980s and 1990s, the so-called Washington Consensus dominated the theory and practice of economic development. This notion covered the whole range of activities that were to lead the developing countries to improved welfare and prosperity. It included strict fiscal and monetary policies, deregulation, foreign trade and capital flow liberalisation, elimination of government subsidies, moderate taxation, liberalisation of interest rates, maintaining low inflation, etc. Based on the developmental experience of over past ten years, a new paradigm of development is emerging, the elements of which can be described as follows: (1) the basic economic environment should encourage the long-term investment in (2) the economy should have a high sensitivity to market stimuli (3) human capital must complement physical capital (4) due to the fast flow and absorption of information in the rapidly changing world, the key role is played by institutions and mechanisms that jointly respond to stimuli (5) wherever market failures occur, an intervention of the state should be market-friendly 6) social equality must be guaranteed if the economic development is to take place on a sustainable basis.

Development economics became a separate discipline in economic science in the 50s but only in the 60s and mid-70s can one note a bigger interest in those issues. Gradually, there has appeared an extensive literature concerning economic development. In the 80s it turned out, however, that despite some successes, the economic development of the majority of mid- and less developed countries was less satisfactory than expected. During most of the 80s and 90s the so-called Washington consensus dominated theory and practice of economic development. This notion covered the whole range of activities that were to lead the developing countries to greater welfare and prosperity. It included tough fiscal and monetary policy, deregulation, foreign trade and capital flow liberalisation, elimination of government subsidies, moderate taxation, liberalisation of interest rates, maintaining low inflation, etc. From the developmental experience of the past years, a new developmental paradigm is emerging, the elements of which can be described in the following way: • basic economic environment should support investments in the long term • economy should be very sensitive to market stimuli • human resources should complement physical capital • information quick flow and absorption in the fast changing world attribute the key role to the institutions and mechanisms which jointly react to the stimuli. • Wherever there are market imperfections, state intervention should be market friendly. • Social equality must be guaranteed if the economic development is supposed to last on a sustainable basis.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to present a broader scope on osteoporosis – both as a medical problem and as a major social burden. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass, leading to increased bone fragility and fractures. It does not only lead to major medical expenses, lower health-related quality-of-life but also strains the population with significant social burden. As modern science is intensively exploring the problem of osteoporosis, new research articles expanding our knowledge on this disease come out weekly. This growing body of research calls for an up-to-date review of the existing state of knowledge on osteoporosis. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: This manuscript presents and overview on osteoporosis and associated problems such as fractures in the following order (1) Etiology and pathogenesis of osteoporosis, (2) Osteoporosis risk factors, (3) Epidemiology of osteoporosis, (4) Aging of the Polish population, (5) Clinical consequences of osteoporosis, (6) Criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) for Caucasian women after menopause, (7) Morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic fractures, (8) Risk factors related to the collapse of the condition of osteoporotic patients, (9) Bone fragility and falls, (10) Recognizing osteoporosis, (11) Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, (12) Cost of treating fractures, (13) Fracture liaison service, (14) Senior care, (15) Purpose of modern geriatrics, (16) Social inequalities and osteoporosis. RESEARCH RESULTS: The two major determinants of risk in the development of osteoporosis are peak bone mass and rate of bone loss. These two determinants are influenced by a number of genetic (non-modifiable) and environmental (partly modifiable, and modifiable) factors. Osteoporosis is becoming increasingly prevalent with the aging of the world population. Worldwide, more than 200 million people are suffering from osteoporosis, and 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. About 5% of falls result in fractures, half of which are proximal femur fractures. Out of all falls leading to fractures, 10‑25% result in injury or requirement of specialized medical care. Falls are one of the main causes of disability and the fifth most common cause of death in people over 75 years of age. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: This review provides a concise overview om osteoporosis as a linked medical and social problem. It also identified a number of knowledge gaps necessary to fill in order to progress our knowledge on osteoporosis diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Understanding patients’ preferences and needs will allow to align them with appropriate service models which are likely to optimize patient outcomes.

The urban space in the Republic of Venice (circa 800–1797) seems to have had a more malleable and variable quality than other towns situated on dry land: its physical space was not merely an ‘infrastructure’, the precondition for the existence of social space, but rather something that was actively produced and reconstructed by society itself. This is one reason why the authors decided to use the Republic of Venice to study the relationship between the social and physical space and chart the ways in which social inequalities at the dawn of the modern era were reflected in the organisation of the urban space. They present Venice as ‘two cities in one’: Venice the city built and portrayed from the perspective of the privileged classes, i.e. the viewpoint of those who had themselves transported through the city on gondolas; and Venice the city of the pedestrian traffic of the lower classes, excluded from political life. The authors set out to attain a better understanding of the deep social and political inequalities that existed in Venice on the one hand and of how it endured a thousand years of internal political stability without experiencing a single attempt at revolt, revolution or social uprising on the other. They therefore focus not just on forms of stratification, segregation and exclusion, but also on how Venetian society integrated its marginalised members and how it accorded them social and cultural relevance and recognition.

Therefore, on the one hand, the text, as an ethnographic story, presents a variety of methods used to work with children during summer camps, and on the other, I try to learn and present the children’s own understanding of what it means to be a social orphan. My goal is to pass on the children’s stories about the reality they live in, by which I mean: a world in which they are exposed to social inequalities, the reproduction of class structure, and violence of adults towards children.

The article refers to the currently shaped issues of human personal safety in relation to threats arising from events and situations. At the same time, it points out that an exhaustive expression of the need for security is rather unfeasible because this scope in personal view will be categorized by: physiological properties, age, environmental and situational conditions, knowledge, and socio-cultural conditions, as well as life experiences. The author focuses in particular on the analysis of organized crime in Mexico and the impact of these structures on the personal safety of people, social, ethnic, and professional groups, indicating their causes. The rooting or deepening of the indicated social problems and the lack of perspectives to improve them means that the main assumptions of the security strategy, including among others public safety improvement programs, and thus personal safety, is a very complex and extended process. The analysis of the functioning of the Mexican state in the security sphere clearly shows that in this respect state institutions transfer this issue to the citizen. Fears for their safety result from the presence of criminal structures, shocking ones, their uncompromising attitude, sense of impunity, and ruthlessness towards anyone who has been defined by "crime syndicates" as a threat to their existence.

The text is an attempt to use of Richard Borowicz research as inspiration. The aim is to broaden the perspective of research on the problem of social selection in the education system by adding a psychosocial aspect. The article contains a theoretical reference in order to allow for an explanation of the effectiveness of the mechanism of auto-selection and placement of it in the social practices of everyday life. Interactional perspective makes the problem of social inequalities present in the experience and consciousness of man. On the other hand individualistic tendencies in society are the conditions under which self-selection mechanism can both be forced out from public awareness, as well as subject to deregulation. The latter phenomenon may lead to equal opportunities.

This paper examines the relationship between state and democracy in India. It probes the paradox that representative government is not always responsive government. There is a persistant gap between the practices of popular authorisation and the production of legitimacy. It examines this gap from two different directions. On the one hand, it looks at the the myriad mechanisms by which the strucutre of the state impedes democracy. On the other hand it looks at how inherited social inequality produces forms of politics that make the production of shared legitimacy difficult.
