Co-existence of different works when size, subject and way of production taken into account is indispensable in a rational scheme of economic relations. Differentiation of human needs then calls for adequate forms of supply ensuring social and economic effectiveness of the economy. Works of individual handicraft possess the most advantageous economic and organizational conditions especially in the sphere of services under conditions of dispersed demand. Handicraft can favour a better satisfaction of population needs in definite spheres of economic activity in a socialist economy, too. Activities of handicraft have been embraced within the frames of planned economy since 1975. It was decided in 1976, basing on decisions of political and administrative authorities, to accelerate the development of handicraft using its potential above all for living services as well as for individualized production. Realizing the tasks, however, it is necessary to increase material and technical equipment, to render place accessible and to gain new cadres. Therefore, a closer handicrafts integration with the whole social economy in a horizontal structure is advisable.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
