Scientific conferences entitled “ Szubert Seminars”, organised at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz, have a long tradition. These meetings have two main goals. The first, is to show the multifaceted achievements of an outstanding and recognized researcher of social policy and labour law – Wacław Szubert. The second, is to pay attention to the universality and timelessness of the observations made by this author. His opinions can be an important hint for all researchers currently dealing with employment issues, counteracting unemployment, social insurance, health care and social economy. The variety of topics covered in this book shows the complexity of the relationship between labour law and social policy. Both areas of science benefit from the fact that their representatives conduct research in close cooperation. Thanks to this, social policy becomes the basis for building the axiological assumptions of labour law institutions. Labour law, in turn, provides tools for verifying the objectives and tasks defined by social policy, as well as the ways of their implementation.
