Wyznaczniki kryzysu społecznego w Europie

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the essence of the social crisis in Europe at the European Union, national and regional level. Article uses the research methods of the social science, particularly from the field of social policy. Research results indicate that in the EU there is social differentiation, which became stronger after 2008. This social differentiation can be called a social crisis. It is also apparent that the EU has failed to permanently build a cohesive social area.
