Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to broadly define social policy as a scientific field and as a practical activity. Attention is paid to the genesis of social policy, its goals, principles, functions and tools. Furthermore, the course acquaints students with the issues of mutual relations of economic and social policy, and the concept of market economy. Students will become familiar with the basic starting points, approaches, and activities of the welfare state, including the "crisis of the welfare state" related to the redistributive activity of the state and ensuring a minimum level of social protection.
Students will acquire new competence regarding principles, functions, and tools of social policy. They will be able to adequately respond to various situations in practice in the context of these attributes.
