A graduate in the labour market – a partnership for problem solving
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Łagowska-Cebula, Monika
Finishing education and entering the labour market is a key step in the life of every young person. At this point the individual departs from their well-known environment. In this environment many convictions are acquired and strategies to handle the requirements of the system are learnt. Even though these strategies do not always lead to the development of the individual, they give them a sense of security. These mechanisms probably become automated and cease to be a cause of stress (Rożnowski 2009: 21). The labour market, however, is a new environment which can cause some anxiety and lead to many stressful situations. The individual must find their feet in an environment where the consequences of failure to fulfil certain obligations can result in a significantly higher penalty than in the education system. The labour market consists of potential employees capable and willing to work and employers willing to hire workers (Szaban 2013: 15) and that is why, the lack of diligence and punctuality as well as the neglect of duty result in loss of employment and subsequent exclusion from that environment. Certainly, at certain stages of education, like for instance university, students can also be threatened with expulsion, but before it actually happens they have many more opportunities to rehabilitate themselves than most employees in the labour market. The labour market conditions which are encountered by young people are also important because they directly contribute to their living situation. Young adults who live with their parents are considered to be lazy and unwilling to rise to the challenge of self-reliance. However, most frequently it is the lack of financial resources to rent a flat (not to mention to purchase it) that is the reason for this situation. In 2012, the percentage of people in Poland aged 18 to 34 living with their parents was 60.2% and 27 – 48.1% in the EU (Central Statistical Office 2013: 11). The purpose of this article is to present the situation encountered by university graduates while seeking their first job. The present situation of the labour market in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, the assistance offered to former students by the District Employment Agency, and their opinion on this aid will be discussed.
Cooperation for the Prevention of Homelesness Using Examples of Selected Countries of the European Union
(Jan Evangelista Purkyne in Usti nad Labem, 2015) Szluz, Beata
Partnerships between the various institutions are important for a given entity in the process of engaging stakeholders. They lead to the solution of problems that affect all partners. In the context of partnership, individuals, groups and organisations representing different sectors agree to cooperate. Their aim is the fulfillment of their obligations or to undertake specific tasks, bringing their skills and resources together, incurring the risks and costs, and sharing the benefits resulting from the achievement of common partnership goals and the objectives of individual member organisations. Cross-sectoral partnership consists of representatives of the three sectors. These are usually large partnerships entered into with the aim of implementing national, regional, and even international projects, among others, in terms of social assistance. This article illustrates selected examples of actions taken on behalf of homeless individuals that are implemented by entities representing the various sectors, undertaking to cooperate and implement projects for the benefit of this social category.
Good-Neighbourhood in Interstate Relations and Realization of Educational Projects of Ukraine and Poland
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Siekunova, Yuliia
The author of the article discloses the formation of interstate relations between Ukraine and Poland since the early 90's of the 20th century, which positively affected the ties between these states. The article analyzes the close relations between the states due to the geopolitical situation, deep historical, cultural and economic ties. Poland actively supports Ukraine in joining the European Union and NATO, acts as an intermediary in this process, gaining additional authority and significance in the international arena.
Inter-sectoral cooperation for solving the problems of working parents – ad hoc activities or long-term policy?
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Urbańska, Magda
Family and work have for many years been occupying the highest position in the ranking of values highly regarded by Poles. However, for many working parents the combination of activeness in the areas of work and family is a huge burden. The special situation in the context of child care and simultaneous professional work refers to women who are mothers. Actions aimed at supporting the working parents become important. Partners of projects performed for combining professional and family duties should not only pay attention both to the already existing legal and organisational solutions but also to cultural attitudes related to perceiving the social roles, division of roles in a family and, in that context, analyse the possibility to combine family and professional duties. It would be worth drawing the partners’ attention, particularly those of the local government sector, to the consideration of tasks related to the development of care services in the territorial social policy strategies. It is necessary to develop care outlets and monitor the consequences of the introduced family supporting solutions, including the extension of maternity leave and the level of use of parental rights by fathers, from the point of view of the situation of women in the labour market. For effective promotion of solutions supporting the combination of professional and family duties by the partners, it would be advisable to carry out educational campaigns among the employers and the employees, as well as social campaigns related to the partner division of duties in families. A large role to be played here is for media and non-government organisations. It seems, therefore, that such understood partnership, i.e. cooperation for the achievement of a common objective in the form of facilitated combination of professional and family duties, may generate long-term positive effects in future. The purpose of this article is to present the instruments which facilitate combining professional work and parenthood in light of the existing legal and institutional solutions, as well as actions undertaken for the performance of the task and its promotion.
Partnership for combating social exclusion, on the example, the Subcarpathian social cooperative
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Szluz, Beata
Social exclusion is associated with situations, in which an individual cannot normally participate in the activities of citizens in a given society. It is essential to note that such a restriction is not due to internal beliefs, but is beyond the control of that person. Societal exclusion is a multidimensional phenomenon, meaning, that a person cannot participate in political, economic and cultural life as a result of a lack of access to resources, goods and institutions, as well as restrictions of social rights or a deprivation of needs. The groups or social categories in which individuals are most vulnerable to exclusion are: the disabled, the mentally ill, addicts, the long-term unemployed, individuals with low professional skills, those released from correctional facilities, single mothers raising children, victims from pathological families, children and youth from neglected environments or raised outside of the family, the elderly, the homeless, immigrants, and members of ethnic minorities. The cause or effect of social exclusion is poverty. A combination of several of these noted problems increases the risk of experiencing exclusion. In the field of social assistance, the problems which an individual and their family experience are the stimuli or task for action to be taken. J. Wygnański stated that, with respect to clients, they are: (…) often those for which the existing instruments of social assistance or labour offices do not work. For many, it is not assistance, just control, and they do everything to dodge it. Some have limited their aspirations to the level of their existence, i.e. the necessity to earn money to purchase the cheapest alcohol. Can you reach such people with the tale of the fishing rod and fish? They are fixated on fish, not even salmon, but anything. They do not believe in a chance for independence, but they know how to navigate in the system of assistance offered by the state and non-governmental organizations, to receive something. Hence the need for new ideas for assistance – so that these people will be willing to help themselves. We are not the only one in Europe that has managed to create a welfare system perpetuated on passivity and exclusion, making it impossible for the welfare state to bear (Mateja 2008). The cited formulation indicates that long-term use of benefits generates the formation of a dependency on assistance. Effective social assistance should therefore be orientated towards activating, and cannot be deactivating and overwhelming. In the context of the aforementioned social exclusion, social enterprises which perform different functions have important tasks to fulfill. Social economy or social entrepreneurship are terms referring to social economy, combining both social and economic objectives. Competences mentioned in the catalogue of social enterprise: social integration and activity in the labour market, provision of public services: social (educational, custodial care, in the field of healthcare) and technical (of a reciprocal nature, in the open labour market, the supply of public goods and the development of local communities, and business and production activities) (Co to jest ekonomia społeczna?; Szluz 2010: 257-273). A specific form of social enterprise is a social cooperative which is mainly made up of individuals at risk of social exclusion due to unemployment, a disability or mental illness, or having trouble finding work. Activity and work in social cooperatives gives them a chance of social and professional activation, integration, as well as upgrading their skills. Unlike other social economy entities, the social cooperative requires a high degree of independence and responsibility from its members. A collegial method of decision making applies. Members of the cooperative are entirely responsible for the cooperative’s affairs, and learn independence and long-term planning. They care about the financial aspects, manage their own business, and set the direction of development. The cited issues have become the impetus for undertaking analysis and considerations, whose aim is to demonstrate cooperation for combating social exclusion. The Subcarpathian social cooperatives have become very good examples, which arose as a result of actions taken within the scope of the partnership.
Partnerstwo publiczno-prywatne – szansą rozwoju infrastrukturalnego gmin
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Kowalska, Iwona
W Polsce luka finansowa w latach 2011–2022 szacowana jest na 116–197 mld zł (w cenach stałych roku 2009). Oznacza to, że w sektorze publicznym brakować będzie w latach 2011–2022 środków finansowych na sfinansowanie ok. 10–17% inwestycji w infrastrukturę usług publicznych. Tych środków podmioty publiczne nie mają, a zatem bez nowych procedur w finansowaniu infrastruktury luka infrastrukturalna będzie się pogłębiać. Szansą jest możliwość pozyskania środków od partnerów prywatnych. Formuła partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego (PPP) może okazać się nową formą realizacji usług publicznych w sytuacji ograniczonych zasobów finansów publicznych przy jednoczesnym wzroście oczekiwań społecznych w zakresie podniesienia jakości usług publicznych. Stosowanie formuły PPP w Europie i na świecie podlega specjalnej regulacji prawnej od blisko 20 lat. W Polsce w wyniku uchwalenia pierwszej ustawy o partnerstwie publiczno-prywatnym z 2005 r. nie uruchomiono żadnej procedury wyboru partnera prywatnego. Dopiero druga ustawa z roku 2008 spowodowała zaktywizowanie podmiotów publicznych (głównie gmin) do poszukiwania kapitału na inwestycje infrastrukturalne w sektorze prywatnym. Okres ponad pięciu lat od wejścia w życie legislacji w zakresie PPP skłania do zainteresowania się, jaki jest rynek PPP w Polsce oraz jakie są efekty działań w tym obszarze. Celem artykułu jest zatem próba zaprezentowania na tle zalet i wad finansowania infrastruktury w ramach formuły PPP: – głównych barier w realizacji przedsięwzięć PPP, – potrzeby zmian legislacyjnych w zakresie PPP. W pracy wykorzystano literaturę przedmiotu z zakresu ekonomicznych teorii PPP, luki infrastrukturalnej oraz przepisów prawnych i dokumentów dotyczących interpretacji tych przepisów w obszarze PPP.
