Poland's social assistance system is regulated by law and organized across central and local administration units in cooperation with NGOs. Social assistance centers at the municipal level and poviat centers for family support at the district level provide most services, including cash benefits and non-financial assistance. Eligible beneficiaries include Polish citizens, EU citizens, and foreigners with proper documentation residing in Poland who are in need due to poverty, disability, unemployment, and other reasons. The main groups assisted are the homeless, unemployed, disabled, poor, elderly, families and children, and victims of disasters. Assistance aims to promote social integration and independence.

The Social Security reform has been placed by the Bolsonaro government as the solution for the deficit of the public accounts that is estimated at R$ 139 billion in the budget of 2019. It is a sham that is sold to the Brazilian population, because this deficit and those that occurred in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were fundamentally the result of the recessive crisis that led to the fall of Brazil's economic growth since 2014 and contributed to the reduction of tax revenues, of the excessive burden of the federal government with the payment of ever increasing public debt, and also the huge debt of large companies to Social Security.

Workshop E Work-care reconciliation in different welfare systems - Nordic SatesCare Connect

Carers and Work-Care Reconciliation International Conference
University of Leeds, 13th August 2013
In countries of Western Balkan situation concerning social protection and development of social services is
similar. Legal framework is developed, or is developing with the intention to create environment for decentralized
provision and financing of social services, developed in line with the needs of beneficiaries. In all the countries,
there is a need for improvement of policy framework in this area, particularly in context of making social services
accessible for all vulnerable groups in need.

In the field of social protection, Poland belongs to the EU group of countries with the familybased welfare model, what is extremely visible for the long-term care where family is the main care provider for elderly individuals with limitations in activities of daily living. At the same time the proportion of elderly in the coming decades is projected to be among the highest in the European Union, what raises questions on the design of the long-term care. For the moment the system is highly unregulated and disintegrated between social assistance and health care services. But it is the health sector that concentrates policy debate with a proposal of an introduction of nursing insurance. In the social sector, the significant changes that were favorable to LTC services development were introduced by the
law on the social assistance (2004) and family benefits (2003) widening the scope of care available at home and in adult day care centers. But still provision of services is insufficient and a market of private services, paid out-of-pocket rapidly develops. It seems that main problems of the long-term care development in the future will be raising demand against insufficient resources and diversified priorities of the health care system.

In recent years, population ageing has attracted the attention of research and policy advisors in all European countries. Several policy actions have been directed toward ensuring optimal long-term care (LTC) for elderly people while maintaining fiscal rationality. LTC systems are very different across all European countries. Their design is characterized by diverse arrangements for the provision of care/organization and financing. Despite general concerns, the Polish LTC system is still at the bottom of the pile in terms of the organization and provision of care.

'Social Security'
First Known Use of SOCIAL SECURITY
1908
A United States federal program of social insurance and benefits developed in 1935. The Social Security program's benefits include retirement income, disability income, Medicare and Medicaid, and death and survivorship benefits. Social Security is one of the largest government programs in the world, paying out hundreds of billions of dollars per year.
Based on the year someone was born, retirement benefits may begin as early as age 62 and as late as age 67. The amount of income received is based on the average wages earned over the worker's lifetime, with a maximum calculable amount of $102,000 as of 2008. Spouses are also eligible to receive Social Security benefits, even if they have limited or non-existent work histories.

Developing responsive to needs, efficient and sustainable long-term care systems for elderly becomes due to rising demographic pressures an urgent issue all over Europe. Czech Republic is among the countries that have redesigned long-term care system according the principles of accessibility, quality and fiscal tenacity in the past couple of years. The reform process was well rooted in the practice of local governments and social sector empowering institutions that existed before 2006, when the reform was introduced, but were insufficiently anchored in legal regulations. The newly established long term care system covers a wide spectrum of services, from cash benefits to dependent in need via different types of social services and institutional care. Still, similarly to other countries of the Central and Eastern Europe region long care is disintegrated between the social system and health care which also is responsible for some types of institutional establishments. The system is also not free from critique for the lack of formal definition of long term care, lack of integration of services, their shortage and poor quality. Thus despite state efforts, the care over elderly remains family responsibility and state support is not always sufficient.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
