The article proposes several key solutions that will enable young people to believe calling them the “Lost Generation” was a premature act.

Diagnosis of a child’s disability becomes a cause of stress that applies to the whole family, above all the mother, who most often deals with the care and upbringing of the child. Disability absorbs the physical and mental resources in the family, because much of the attention is focused on the child. Parents, and above all mothers, are tired both physically and mentally. Life activity, understood as professional activity, as well as spending free time away from home, enables disengagement from the child’s disability, which may have a beneficial effect on the improvement of well-being. The aim of the article is to present the professional activity of parents bringing up a child with disabilities, free time, tourism, and leisure outside the place of residence. The study was based on unpublished data from the Household Budget Survey (BBGD 2014) and data from the study “Entrepreneurial and Consumer Behaviors in Families Caring for Children and Teenagers with Disabilities” financed by the National Center for Science (OPUS 4) and individual interviews.

Stwardnienie rozsiane to przewlekła choroba układu nerwowego. Na świecie żyje około 2 milionów osób ze stwardnieniem rozsianym. Polska należy do strefy o wysokiej częstotliwości występowania tej choroby. Szacuje się, że w Polsce jest obecnie ok. 60 tysięcy chorych. Powstające wraz z postępem choroby deficyty neurologiczne negatywnie wpływają na wiele aspektów życia, w tym możliwości pracy zarobkowej. Celem badania była ocena sytuacji społeczno-ekonomicznej osób chorych na stwardnienie rozsiane zamieszkałych w województwie podkarpackim. Badaniu poddano 25 osób zamieszkujących województwo podkarpackie chorych na stwardnienie rozsiane (sclerosis multiplex, SM). Do badania włączane były osoby z diagnozą postawioną przez lekarza specjalistę.

Objectives: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a very rare genetic disorder affecting skeletal and heart muscles. The aim of this study was to identify factors which might influence the ability to work in EDMD patients in Poland. Material and Methods: The study included 24 patients suffering from either of the two EDMD forms: 17 with emerinopathy (EDMD1; EDMD caused by mutations in the emerin gene) and 7 with laminopathy (EDMD2; EDMD caused by the lamin A/C gene mutations). After clinical evaluation of EDMD course, study participants were questioned about their education, current and former employment, and disability certificates and pensions. Results: 54% of the study participants were employed, and 90% of them had job position corresponding to their education. Undertaking work did not correlate with the level of physical performance or disease complication, but it revealed statistically significant correlation with a higher level of education (p = 0.015). Only 23% of professionally active patients were employed in a sheltered workplace. Disability certificate was granted to all EDMD2 and to 90% of EDMD1 patients. All EDMD2 and 50% of EDMD1 patients received a disability pension, which reflects more severe course of EDMD2. Conclusions: Higher level of education increased the chance of employment, even if significant disability was present. Therefore, I hypothesize that advice on education and jobcounseling should be applied as early as possible after the diagnosis of EDMD.

Women show greater and greater activity on the job market, they obtain better positions, salaries, etc. However, the statistics concerning their professional activity differ from those of men. We should take into consideration the fact that women are the ones who give birth to children and, in majority, take care of their upbringing, especially in the first years of child’s life. Policies of particular states are different in terms of the amount and availability of family benefits, and that can be reflected in women’s willingness to return to work.

Work and broadly understood professional activity constitutes a very significant element of human being’s functioning as it empowers the person, gives the sensation of ability, being independent and needed. Moreover, it is an important part of success while aiming at self-realization. Performing professional work by a disabled person enables him or her to feel socially useful and determines their position in a social hierarchy. It must be said that disabled people constitute the group of people for whom professional work means not only the improvement of their financial situation, but, most of all, it raises their self-esteem. Still, too many disabled people remain vocationally inactive for various reasons; it is not only because of their health. Even though work could give the disabled people some independence, they are forced to fight stereotypes, employers’ ignorance, architectural barriers as well as their own anxiety and low self-esteem. The endless search for the person responsible or blaming others for the present situation will not improve anything. It can only inhibit the process of employing the person with a disability, which may lead those people to adapt demandingness as their way of life. The consequence would be learned helplessness.

The aim of this article is to present results of a study concerning the level of social competences displayed by students of tourism and recreation and how it relates to their work experience. The author hypothesized that the fact of being employed could help to differentiate between different levels of social competences in the student population. Factors such as the length of work experience, positions held, work abroad, internships, and voluntary work were analysed. The study was based on quantitative and qualitative data collected using such tools such as the Social Competence Questionnaire and the Questionnaire for Self-Assessment of Student’s Professional Achievements in order to identify forms of professional activity among the respondents. Full-time students of tourism and recreation were found to have an average level of social competences, and their work experience, considered as a form of social training, did not differentiate between different levels of social competence. No statistically significant correlations were found between the level of social competence and internships at secondary schools, internships at university, work experience in general and in tourism and recreation in particular, and voluntary work. Also, positions held did not differentiate the level of social competence. It could therefore be concluded that the respondents’ work experience was too short to have a measurable effect on the level of their social competences, which take much more time to develop and depend on personal and environmental factors.

In the article the results of survey carried among 75 people unemployed over 45 years old were presented. The survey shows that these people tend to have rather low qualifications but are trying to increase their competences and to find a proper job. They are also aware of their advantages like: dutifullness, responsibility, experience and life stabilization. But, on the contrary, when we analize the employers' attidute towards these group of pe ople, it occurs to be full of stereotypes basing on a belief that elderly workers are simply worse than the younger ones.
