Koncepcja polityki wobec rodziny w programach wyborczych Prawa i Sprawiedliwości z lat 2007–2014

Abstract

Within the context of an increased interest in family and family policy, as well as political and social changes that have been occurring in Poland lately (parliamentary election, gaining power by the Law and Justice party, introduction of new instruments of family policy), it is worth having a look at both projects and changes in family social policy over the course of time and proposals of optimum solutions for families put forward by the ruling political party. Thus, politicians are the ones, who, through their visions and projects, affect directly the creation of formal, legal framework of the family’s functioning, determine the direction and forms of legislative initiatives undertaken within the scope of family policy, while their ideas and notions are verified by the society expressed in the results of parliamentary elections. Therefore, in this article, I shall analyse the proposed solutions for family-related problems expressed over the years 2007–2014 in the election programmes of politicians of Law and Justice – a political party, whose goals in and plans expressed in their election programme, considering the results of parliamentary elections and public support poles in present time Poland, are, and will be, shaping family policy in Poland over the next several years.
