Ewolucja urządzeń zabezpieczenia socjalnego w Polsce oraz ich prawne kwalifikacje (szkic rozwoju)

Abstract

The development of social security services in Poland proceeded in such a way that older benefits were not replaced by better new services, but instead were built in a manner that never services complement the existing ones (benefits systems). In this way, they became richer, to meet the needs created by the developments in society. Their historical development was evolutionary, while maintaining the essential characteristics of the original services. In the legal literature various types of services were initially treated separately, belonging to different law branches. Since the 1930’s they have started being grouped together under the branches of social security law. In Poland, the concept of social security law was discussed theoretically from the 1970s, and became implemented in practice from the beginning of this century. Appearance of new benefit systems, as well as changes taking place in the framework of classical benefit systems have underpinned the coherence of this concept and became a source of social law concept as a separate law branch.
