Kościół katolicki w Polsce w służbie rodzinom dotkniętym bezrobociem

Abstract

Unemployment is a worldwide problem being present even in the most developed countries. It is a complex phenomenon being specific of each country. Unemployment in Poland at the dawn of XXI century appears as a social disaster, reaching as high as 20% of workforce. Unemployment touches certain people as well as their families. These families experience many difficulties in proper functioning, starting with a non high standard of life through to predicaments and poverty being felt in every day life. For some families unemployment is the cause of a break up in relationship. The Catholic Church, for whom each person as well as the families is the priority, defends the unemployed and their families. Besides preaching the Catholic social doctrine, which promotes the value of work, showing the evil of unemployment and the possibility of fighting against it, the Church provides many different actions to minimize and prevent the unemployment.
