The elderly are a group that has built our country and created the labour market for many years. They are a group that deserves special respect and support, to live the autumn of their lives with dignity, with a sense of security, stability and peace. The senior citizens' policy of the Law and Justice government is designed to respond to these needs, says the Minister for Family and Social Policy – Marlena Maląg on the occasion of the International Day of Older Persons, which falls on 1 October.

Paweł Wdówik, Government Plenipotentiary for Disabled Persons, and Krzysztof Michałkiewicz, President of the Management Board of the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled (PFRON), during a press briefing summarised the "Accessible Public Space" programme aimed at people with special needs.

"We are launching the first nationwide campaign to promote foster parenthood. 15,400 children are waiting for a family, for a home that will satisfy their need to be loved," Minister Marlena Maląg opened the conference.

Inspiring guests, developing workshops and many interesting conversations - and all this about the topic of integrating family and professional life. The First Congress of Mom's Clubs organised under the auspices of the Ministry of Family and Social Policy is now under way. "We are taking part in Poland's largest event devoted to the idea of creating mom's clubs and building a parent-friendly environment, in particular for parents of young children," emphasised Minister Marlena Maląg.

Lots of fake news have appeared in recent weeks regarding foreigners in Poland which hurt mainly honest employers. The deceitful and meritless arguments put forward by the opposition will, as experts already note, cause staffing problems to many industries.

Support to persons with disabilities, greater protection against domestic violence, creating the best possible conditions for the development of social economy, and good changes in foster care – much has been going on in those areas in recent years.

Seniors deserve all the best – a decent, carefree and possibly active life. The 13th and 14th pension pays, favourable adjustments of benefits, activations schemes and more serve the achievement of this goal. "It is important to implement the idea of intergeneration solidarity at every level. Not only through support from the State, but also by creating the environment that is friendly to elderly people, also at the mental level," notes Deputy Minister of Family and Social Policy Stanisław Szwed.

The last years have been the time of big changes in the family policy, but also on the labour market. "The launch of social programmes, led by Family 500+, soon to become 800+, as well as the investment in new places of care of the youngest children, the record low unemployment rate and greater protection of workers. These are just some of the actions that make up the better today and safe tomorrow of Polish families," said Minister of Family and Social Policy Marlena Maląg.

"We are building strong and modern Poland founded on the family," said Minister of Family and Social Policy Marlena Maląg on Thursday. At a meeting organised at the Ministry of Family and Social Policy, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the amount of the minimum wage to be in force from the next year.

Minister Marlena Maląg opened a Youth Support Point in Ostrów Wielkopolski, a facility that assists young people in making informed and right decisions regarding education and professional career. The Minister also took part in the conference "Jarocin Social Services Centre – A New Quality of Life for the Residents".
