CONSEQUENCES OF SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION PROCESS WITHIN THE GROUP OF THE ELDERLY (IN OUTLINE)
Abstract
Among several variants of the transformation process Poland has chosen a radical path of
„hard reforms” - to be realised selectively and by stages. The advantage of such a strategy is the
rapidity and firmness of the reforms what gives a guarantee of saving the economy together with
gradual elimination of corruption and lawlessness. The fault of it however is a too big „social cost ,
among others. The Author discusses in details the results of the reforms caused by unemployment,
effects of the inflation, effects of the abolition of State appropriations, effect of the increase of fees
in medical services and, finally, transformations within the system of social insurance. The effects
of structural transformation that affect the elderly, make the latter desiring to come back to the
situation before the transformation and sometimes lead even to violent protests. This is why there
is a need to care well that such transformations were less painful for the elderly and - to assure
them minimum existence at least.
