Item Kierunki racjonalizacji struktury rolnictwa polskiego w świetle rozwiązań stosowanych w Europie Zachodniej(Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa UAM, 2010) Babiak, JerzyAgriculture is a peculiar sector of the economy that requires support from the state. Its spontaneous transformation is not effective enough, therefore a number of mechanisms are applied to stimulate advantageous structural transformation both at EU and national levels. The agricultural system of West European states is based on the family farm. Although Community law does not define a family farm, different systems provide various measures applied in order to protect family farms, e.g. by means of controlling agricultural land trade. The paper presents the legal and institutional solutions applied in this respect in France, Germany and Denmark. These states have not been randomly selected, as they are the main competitors for Polish agriculture in the Community market, and they have succeeded in establishing an agrarian structure. Against the background of their experience, Polish legal solutions are presented and assessed. The responsibilities of the Agricultural Property Agency are presented in detail; its principal task apart from the management of State Treasury property is to shape agrarian structure.Item Organizacje pozarządowe we współczesnym społeczeństwie obywatelskim(Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa UAM, 2011) Babiak, JerzyNon-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are one of the indicators in the assessment of whether the state operates on the principles of a civic society. NGOs are also a crucial element of public life as they cover an extensive area of activity. At the level of local communities they effectively promote their development as organizations that are close to the citizens. In the European Union they are an expression of public opinion. After WWII both the political and legal circumstances in Poland did not favor their development. An observable improvement began during the transition period at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. The number of NGOs considerably increased at that time. Although the number of newly registered NGOs has been consistently decreasing since 2003, as has Poles’ interest in voluntary work, Polish NGOs are in quite good condition compared to their counterparts in other states of Central and Eastern Europe.Item Potrzeby żywnościowe a rozwój agrokompleksu i rynku rolnego w Polsce(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 1972) Babiak, JerzyThe author comes to the conclusion that 1) organizational improvement of the activities of the institutions purchasing agricultural products, 2) modernization of the technical base of the purchasing apparatus, 3) creation of a transport base for direct collecting of farm produce, 4) preparation of an organizational model in the sphere of transportation services for farmers (delivery of production means and direct collection of farm produce), 5) rise in expenditure for food processing industries, 6) extension of supply contracts and agreements running for many years, are essential to supply the necessary quantity of foodstuffs, i. e. to secure a balanced growth in all the fields that take part in food production.Item Pozycja kobiet na rynku pracy w świetle regulacji Unii Europejskiej(Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa UAM, 2011) Babiak, JerzyThe position of women on the European labor market continues to be unstable. In order to make the opportunities for both genders equal at the EU level, appropriate regulations have been adopted since its beginnings. The first regulations focused on the issue of discrimination, aiming at a policy of anti-discrimination. The range of regulations in this area has gradually expanded to become an important part of EU policy. Any improvement in the situation is as- sessed in terms of increased competitiveness, innovativeness and economic growth. EU regu- lations and programs to promote gender equality, including those aimed at improving the situation of women on the labor market have now become a significant field of the Commu- nity’s activities. Progress there is already noticeable, although it continues to call for further commitment and cooperation on many levels.Item Problem ubóstwa w Unii Europejskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM, 2012) Babiak, JerzyThe issues of poverty, famine and malnutrition mainly concern underdeveloped regions. Yet in recent years the proportion of the population threatened with poverty and social exclu- sion has been growing not only in these regions but also in developed areas, including the EU. The issue of poverty is additionally related to demography. In this context, the aging popula- tion of West European countries is worrisome, as the elderly are one of the groups particularly threatened by poverty, and their number continues to grow. Appreciating the gravity of this is- sue, the European Commission considers the fight against poverty to be one of the basic five directions established in the Europe 2020 strategic document.Item PRZEGLĄD PIŚMIENNICTWA(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2005) Babiak, JerzyGospodarka polska w warunkach integracji europejskiej, praca zbiorowa pod red. Wacława Jarmołowicza, Wydawnictwo Akademii Ekonomicznej w Poznaniu, Poznań 2005, Zeszyty Naukowe, nr 51, ss. 364.Item Przemiany ekonomicznej struktury rolnictwa w krajach Europy Zachodniej(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 1983) Babiak, JerzyA process of concentration of production became the most conspicious effect of the structurai changes in the Western European States. In spite of the poist- -World War Two progress the level of concentration in agriculture is still much lower than tin other branches of production. The following can be mentioned among the main reason of that state of things: historical conditions of the development of agriculture, distinctive features of the production process in agriculture, developed system of the so called vertical integration. Two period's can be distinguished in a course of concentration after the war, The first one dating back to the end on the war and lasting to the sixties, and the second one lasting from the beginning of sixties to our decade. A lower rate of concentration was characteristic of the first period while the second one brought about accelerated dynamic transformations of quantity and structure of productive units in agriculture. In the result, there is a decline in total amount of farms, growth of an average farm's area and an increase in the portion of medium and large units in a structure of farms. Transformations of the agrarian structure are closely interrelated with changes of the labor resources in agriculture. A general decline in these resources in favor of other branches can be observed. The second trend is a fall in hired labor and a large bi-occupational population. Structural transformations in agriculture are not effected only by self-feeding market processes. Much influence is yielded by policies of particular governments and by a Common Market policy, especially in the recent years.Item Samorząd terytorialny w II Rzeczypospolitej(2010) Babiak, Jerzy; Ptak, ArkadiuszItem Zmiany w strukturze rolnictwa krajów Unii Europejskiej(Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2010) Babiak, JerzyItem Zróżnicowanie poziomu życia mieszkańców Unii Europejskiej(Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2013) Babiak, JerzyW artykule przedstawiono problematykę zróżnicowania poziomu życia mieszkańców Unii Europejskiej. W pierwszej części zaprezentowano zagadnienia teoretyczne dotyczące mierzenia różnych wymiarów jakości życia w ramach badań prowadzonych przez Unię Europejską (EU-SILC, EQLS) oraz międzynarodową organizację Help Age International (GAWI). W drugiej zasadniczej części artykułu analizie poddano wybrane obiektywne i subiektywne wskaźniki: poziomu ekwiwalentnych dochodów do dyspozycji (współczynnik Giniego), sytuacji gospodarstw domowych w poszczególnych państwach, a także jakości życia mieszkańców w wieku 60 lat i więcej. Trzecia część artykułu przedstawia analizę oceny poziomu zagrożenia ubóstwem i wykluczeniem społecznym w Unii Europejskiej.
