Rola młodej generacji pracowników w kryzysie i konflikcie społecznym
Streszczenie
Ihe paper puts forward a thesis that an acute and wide social
conflict which took place in Poland at the end of the 70-ties and
beginning of the 00-ties was the result of formation of a specific
kind of social structure. It enabled establishing a limited
intra-generation alliance which encompassed the young, and a substantial
part of the old generation. The- basis of the alliance
was a similarity of interests of young employees and workers being
a large social group. These common interests followed directly
from the fact that social inequalities were not only related to socio-
occupational differences within the Polish society but also
to differences among the generations.
The analysis of empirical data shows that the young generation
of employees, constituting a separate element of social macrostructure,
is very much interested in introducing social changes.
On the other than, differences in the social situation of particular
socio-occupational categories withio the old generation prevented
creating a strong opposition against innovative aspirations
and activities of the young.
