| Annotation | Many studies of the welfare state in Poland underestimate continuity in pension policy and overlook evidence of change in family policy. The author argues that each of these policies evolves historically along dual trajectories. One trajectory represents a set of constantly reproduced and politically reinforced norms and structures. The other exemplifies cyclical, emergency adjustments and innovations, which enable incremental and cumulative change. Pensions more closely resemble the overall development of Polish social policy as a whole, and are likely to remain path-dependent more consistently into the future. By contrast, there are signs of change in family policy that indicate a gradual but significant break with the past. (RH). |
