The analysis of the answers provided by 60% of the surveyed population to the questions about the economic situation of their households shows that the income received by women is generally lower. The same applies to the earnings of the households where the respondents lived. 27.6% of the men and twice as many women (55,1%) received a revenue of up to 1000 PLN a month. Monthly revenue of more than a half of the respondents did not exceed 1250 PLN. Despite this fact, 2/3 of the respondents rated their revenue management capabilities as good, indicating that they live sparingly and can afford to make all the necessary purchases. However, this assessment does not seem to reflect the objective state and is rather over-optimistic. Overall, 18.6% of older people claim that they definitely need help of another person in their daily life. Although over 90% of them receives such assistance, it is in 80% of cases granted solely by the family. The study showed for the first time in Poland how as we age increases the level of the demand for care, from 5.5% in the age group 60–64 years to even 50.3% among those aged 90 years and over. Slightly more often men require repeated assistance during the day (69.3% of all in need of assistance) than women (65.4%).

The article aims to discuss the relationship between social policy and public policy and to identify its most important elements. Social policy is linked historically on the one hand with the economy and on the other – with sociology and political sciences. Theory of public policy exposes the role of public administration in achieving its objectives and allows for wider recognition of the tasks by linking them with other specialties. This makes it possible to achieve in practice synergistic effects of actions taken, and at the theoretical level – a more comprehensive assessment of the analyzed problems. The history of social policy in Poland, especially of the Institute of Social Economy shows that such a broad approach to social policy has been characteristic also in the past.

Artykuł ma na celu omówienie relacji między polityką społeczną a polityką publiczną i wskazanie najważniejszych elementów tych relacji. Polityka społeczna jest związana historycznie z jednej strony z ekonomią, a z drugiej – z socjologią i naukami o polityce. Nauki o polityce publicznej eksponują rolę administracji publicznej w realizacji jej celów i pozwalają na szersze ujęcie zakresu jej zadań poprzez powiązanie ich z innymi specjalnościami. Dzięki temu możliwe jest uzyskanie w praktyce efektów synergicznych podejmowanych działań, a w warstwie teoretycznej – pełniejsza ocena analizowanych problemów. Historia polityki społecznej w Polsce, a szczególnie Instytutu Gospodarstwa Społecznego pokazuje, że takie szerokie podejście do polityki społecznej cechowało tę dyscyplinę także w przeszłości.

Do najistotniejszych przyczyn demograficznego starzenia się społeczeństw należy stopniowe wydłużanie się życia ludzkiego, spowodowane m.in. poprawą warunków egzystencji i podniesieniem jakości świadczeń zdrowotnych, oraz spadek dzietności. Jeszcze w 2007 roku, kiedy rozpoczęto projekt PolSenior, liczba osób w grupie 65 lat i więcej wynosiła 5,1 mln, co stanowiło 13,5% ogółu ludności. Prognoza GUS zakłada, że do 2035 roku liczba ludności w tej grupie wieku zwiększy się w stosunku do 2007 roku o 3,2 mln, a jej udział w ogólnej liczbie ludności wyniesie 23,2%

Project Objectives and Assumptions

51%
EN
PolSenior, the widest multidisciplinary research project, was conducted by the consortium of six research teams with researchers in the fields of medicine, biology, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, demography, economy and many other disciplines. The representative sample of 5695 participants aged 55–59 years (719 persons as the control group) and 65 years or more (4979 persons) gives the possibility not only to formulate a diagnosis about the health and social condition of the elderly in Poland. Another aim of this project was to assign priorities for the public administration and society for the formulation of basics of policy towards the elderly people. Each of the participants was visited three times. During the visit they answered different questions about medical and social aspects of their life. Also some tests concerning the mental and physical efficiency were conducted.

Authors discuss factors that affect patients’ satisfaction from the use of health care services by older adults participating in the national Polish survey PolSenior. The aim of the study was to assess the patterns of use of health care services by older adults and what is the level of their satisfaction from received care, moreover, to determine factors responsible for reported high level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. It was noticed that majority of Polish people over 65 reported high level of satisfaction, which might be related to their low expectations.

There are also theoretical issues such as: adequacy of this discipline of knowledge to the analysis of the realities of public action in Poland. This issue arises due to the fact that public policy emerged as a discipline of knowledge in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, on the basis of its specificity. Moreover, the theories evident in public policy science have been developed in the West, mainly in America. The local realities were the basis. Therefore, the question arises whether we should build our theories or adapt those that have been developed elsewhere. Meanwhile, we do not have many or even most elements of the Anglo-Saxon tradition, even in terms of the size of our analytical achievements. We are not even inclined to conduct such an advanced analysis of social and economic phenomena. Hence, it seems important to me to ask about the theoretical potential of this discipline in relation to the analysis of public activities in Poland.

Istnieją także kwestie teoretyczne typu: adekwatność tej dyscypliny wiedzy do analizy realiów działania publicznego w Polsce. To zagadnienie rysuje się ze względu na fakt, że polityka publiczna wyłoniła się jako dyscyplina wiedzy w tradycji anglosaskiej, na gruncie jej specyfiki. Ponadto, teorie widoczne w nauce o polityce publicznej zostały wypracowane na Zachodzie, głównie w Ameryce. Bazą były tamtejsze realia. Pojawia się zatem pytanie, czy mamy budować swoje teorie, czy adaptować te, które wypracowano gdzie indziej. Tymczasem my nie mamy wielu czy nawet większości elementów tradycji anglosaskiej, choćby w sensie rozmiaru dorobku analitycznego. Nie mamy nawet skłonności do prowadzenia tak zaawansowanej analizy zjawisk społecznych i ekonomicznych. Stąd istotne wydaje mi się pytanie o potencjał teoretyczny tej dyscypliny w odniesieniu do analizy działań publicznych w Polsce.
