The article is an attempt to assess a dependence between living conditions and socio-cultural and economic activity of the rural population in Opole Voivodship (Region) on the level of rural local administrative units. One may suppose that rural areas with high economic, social and cultural activity of population are likewise characterised by higher quality of life. An assumption that rural areas with a high activity level are represented by active local governments in even European as well as regional and local development initiatives was verified. The Regional Government of Opole Voivodship is implementing many initiatives aimed at social and entrepreneurship activation in rural areas (i.e. Villager Regeneration [Odnowa Wsi], Opole Region Rarities [Opolskie Specjały], LEADER Program, Opole Region Renewable Energy [Energia Odnawialna Opolszczyzny]) leading to significant improvement of quality of life for the rural population. Such actions at least partly may simplify the basis of the economic differentiation of the local social function and serve to strengthen regional and local bonds and identity.

All human activities are directed towards the fulfillment of one's needs. The degree of such fulfillment determines one's satisfaction with living conditions and shows the efficiency of actions undertaken by state and central government administration in that respect. The most adequate measure of life satisfaction is one's own assessment, i.e. the subjective appraisal. These are the reasons why the quality of life should be constantly analyzed and systematically appraised. The purpose of this paper is an evaluation of Poland' quality of life by voivodeships in the years 2000-2009.

Economic growth is frequently presented as the source and direct bridge to the overall welfare development. The GDP per capita is frequently referred in this connection as a measure of the economic and social development. However this argument is not sufficiently supported by data covering the welfare situation of the country. According the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) project, in 2010 there are around 17% of the EU citizens living under the at-risk-of poverty threshold. To address the missing links between economic growth and the broader social development dynamics, the income situation of the households in selected EU member countries over the last years is investigated using the EU-SILC data. The empirical results confirm that losers from economic growth and recession are unequally distributed towards female, young, elderly, unemployed, retired and less educated. Gains are pertaining to more educated persons implying a greater focus on opportunities to education and on labour market.
