Summary/Abstract: In this article, I discuss the evolution of social welfare in Poland. I focus on the institutional perspective, which shows changes in the institutions in this area. In the first part, I present the development of social welfare in the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939) and then describe changes in the communist period and the Thrid Republic after 1989. At the end of my contribution, I discuss the plans for the modernisation of the Polish social welfare system.
