Summary/Abstract: The reform of the public assistance system as conducted at the beginning of the nineties was to alleviate social consequences of economic reforms. After twenty years of functioning of the system, a question can be posed about the extent to which social, economic and demographic transformations are reflected in the scope of services provided by public assistance institutions in favour of families. This study is aimed at making an attempt to determine the scale of the assistance provided by the said institutions in the years 2001-2010, the types of families included in the system as well as the types of the reasons bringing about the use of the public assistance. A particular attention is paid to the services provided by public assistance centres.
