  • Education policy in the light of the activity of social economy entities
    The author presents the issue of the role of social economy entities (PES) in the field of education policy. It indicates their growing activity in the sphere of its programming and implementation. They play a role that allows them to influence, both directly and indirectly, on the first dimension, and to influence the supply of diverse educational services through implementation. However, they play complementary roles in both spheres. But at the same time - which seems to be the most important - they support the pace of adjusting the education system to meet the expectations towards it, that is, educating and educating citizens capable of creative adaptation in today's conditions.

  • Social drive of development. Social economy entities in economic policy

They play a number of significant roles, incl. in strengthening the development infrastructure (eg as a watchdog , entities promoting local entrepreneurship), in meeting a number of consumer needs (eg in the "leisure market" products), in professional activation of people from disadvantaged environments . The author presents the scale of development of the PES sector and the fields of its activity.

  • The values and structure of the subsistence level, including changes resulting from the SARS-COV-2 virus pandemic in 2020
    The outbreak of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic in Poland was an important factor influencing consumption behavior in 2020. Presenting the subsistence minimum estimates, it was noted that the research carried out in 2020 took into account the manner of satisfying the needs under typical conditions. The circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic have not been taken into account. The results of the GUS survey on household budgets for 2020 were published in September 2021. Compared to 2019, total household expenditure in 2020 decreased by 3.4%. On poorer farms, however, they were higher than in 2019: in the first quintile in 2020 they increased by 5.7% (in the first decile by 15%). Lower expenditures compared to 2019 were for farms with higher incomes (e.g. 2nd and 3rd quintiles of income distribution), where there was "space" to cut expenses while adapting to the pandemic conditions. In poorer farms, there was a need to incur the necessary expenses to adapt to the new situation, with no possibility of saving in other budget items. Based on these data and on additional calculations by the Central Statistical Office of Poland, the IPiSS prepared corrections in the subsistence minimum values.
