Resilience and Social Rights

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the normative assumptions and practical ways to implement social rights in the paradigm of active welfare state. The theoretical framework of analysis is the concept of citizenship proposed by Thomas H. Marshall. Referring to this concept, the author argues that the current system of social policy changes the perception of rights, particularly in the area of social rights. This is a consequence of the adoption as the dominant paradigm of active welfare state that promotes resilience. The author appraises the implementation of the idea of resilience in the practice of the social assistance institutions in Poland. In this context article points out the obstacles on the macro level (negative demographic trends), meso (deficits in resources of social assistance), micro (transformation of the family).
