“…As an explanation of the policy inertia in the LTC domain in Poland, Łuczak (2018) previously hypothesized a ‘lock‐in’ effect: as the post‐communist transformation engendered large‐scale reforms in core welfare state domains (such as pensions), political actors are reluctant to reform other sectors (Łuczak, 2018, p. 1397). Up until now, population ageing has been discussed mainly in the context of pension reform—as a threat to the financial sustainability of the pension system, not as a care‐related issue (Duszczyk, Lesińska, & Matuszczyk, 2019, p. 132). Furthermore, the fragmentation of LTC‐related policies across different policy domains makes substantial reform difficult (Łuczak, 2018, p. 1397).…”

When policy entrepreneurs fail: Explaining the failure of long‐term care reforms in Poland

This article explains the failure of two long‐term care (LTC) reforms attempted between 2005 and 2019 in Poland, and driven by policy entrepreneurs—individuals with a personal understanding of the challenges faced by LTC and determined to initiate policy change in the domain. The article inductively identifies the ‘outsider policy entrepreneur’ mechanism of policy reform. LTC in Poland is a negative case (or breakdown) of this mechanism, which occurs when a policy entrepreneur has enough political influence to initiate a formal reform proposal, but not enough to convince decision‐makers to adopt it. The article combines an examination of the role of policy entrepreneurs in social policy change with an analysis of their interactions with domestic and foreign epistemic communities. Through showing how ‘foreign’ policy models are used by policy entrepreneurs to pursue domestic reform, the study contributes to the literature on transnational policy diffusion/transfer. The analysis is based on document analysis and 16 semi‐directed expert interviews, which were used to process trace the explained outcome (failed reforms). The article concludes that the mechanism failures were due to the fact that involved policy entrepreneurs did not convince decision‐makers of the need to reform LTC. Specifically, the contribution identifies two features of the political context in illiberal post‐transition polities that interrupt the persuasion efforts of outsider policy entrepreneurs—the impossibility of inter‐partisan cooperation and continuity, and the declining role of Western policy models as catalysts for change.

“…9 9 It is difficult to use characterizations such as right‐/left‐wing, conservative, liberal or social‐democrat to describe political parties in Poland because those terms have different meanings than in Western democracies (Duszczyk et al, 2019, p. 127). …”

“…According to Rok [2019, p. 150] we are facing a growing wave of anger from many stakeholders in business, forcing change in the direction of making businesses' goals more social. Mediatisation creates a new space for the politicisation of many social and economic problems, thus giving them social significance, intensifying the dispute surrounding them and increasing the number of engaged actors [Duszczyk, Lesińska, Matuszczyk, 2019]. Castells [2013, p. 211] also stresses the growing role of think tanks in information policy.…”

The tide of the 2008 economic crisis strengthened social and political movements that ask about the current form of the capitalist system and the practices of large corporations. For the latter, this means a significant reputational challenge. In facing it, companies are improving their corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate citizenship (CC) and public relations (PR) policies, and deploying new forms of strategic management and communication. One of them is the trend of management and social communication of companies’ social impact, bringing together the CSR, CC, PR and humanistic management approaches.

“…At the same time, the Policy has a very general tone, committing a number of practical aspects related to the phenomenon of migration, and seems to excessively emphasise, though not always directly, the image of migrants as tools, and sometimes even as a kind of threat. In the opinion of the authors, the discussed Draft Policy has become part of making demographic processes a political issue, where the solutions adopted by politicians are conditioned upon a positive or negative attitudes of society, which may decide about who keeps their power and who loses it (Duszczyk M et al, 2019).…”

SummarySubject and purpose of work: The publication comprises the analysis of the most important legislation governing the employment of foreigners in Poland and the data of significance to developing legal solutions in this area. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the suitability of the adopted solutions to the needs of the labour market.Materials and methods: The performed legal analysis is closely related to the statistical analysis of the transformations of the Polish labour market which have taken place over the last 6 years, with particular attention to demographic and economic data. The authors also applied qualitative methods in the form of observations concerning the adaptation of Polish laws to the demand for hiring foreigners, as well as the presentation of the results of surveys analysing the opinions and sentiments of labour market participants, labour market forecasts published on a regular basis, and inspections carried out by authorised entities.Results: The systematic decrease in the Polish population and increasing staff deficits reported by employers are among the most important challenges. The deficits are largely supplemented by Ukrainian employees, yet there are growing concerns that difficulties in acquiring new staff may aggravate, as the competition in attracting foreign staff is becoming increasingly perceptible. In Poland, relevant legal instruments concerning the employment of foreigners are mostly stipulated in the Foreigners Act, the Act on employment promotion and labour market institutions, and in secondary legislation to these Acts. The laws are very complex, they lack comprehensive solutions in the field of foreigner employment policy, while competent offices and authorities experience difficulties in fulfilling their tasks.Conclusions: It is necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy as part of employment policies, taking into account the urgent and actual demand of the labour market for foreigners’ work.
