Efektywność centrów integracji społecznej w zakresie przeciwdziałania długotrwałemu bezrobociu
Effectiveness of centres of social integration in scope of counteraction of long-term unemployment

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is an attempt to present the activities of the centers of social integration, and the assessment of the effectiveness of their activities in the field of social reintegration of the marginalized due to long-term unemployment. Social integration centers have been one of the main institutions since 2004, within which social and employment reintegration of the marginalized because of long-term unemployment takes place. During these programs the long-term unemployed learn certain professions, resourcefulness and try to return to a full social and professional life. In the period of 2008-2010 the number of centers increased from 59 to 75. During this period, as a result of the activities carried out in these institutions, more than 2259 of the long-term unemployed became economically independent. The main problem of these centers is the relatively high cost of maintaining this type of institution and much smaller interest of local government in their development and financing. From the other point of view, clubs of social integration, which conduct similar activities and absorb less funding become really important.
