The plunge marks the highest drop in the rate for Poland since the country entered the European Union in 2004, the Dziennik daily reported, citing Eurostat. In 2016, 24.2 percent of children in Poland were at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The figure slumped to 17.9 percent last year. According to Eurostat’s findings so far, Poland’s drop was outpaced only by Romania, where the rate declined 7.5 percentage points to reach 41.7 percent in 2017. The agency is yet to release data from countries such as Ireland, Croatia, Serbia and Turkey. Eradicating child poverty is one of the key goals of the Polish government’s flagship "500-plus" child benefit programme. Poland’s socially conservative Law and Justice government, which came to power in late 2015, aims to ease the burdens of child rearing by giving families with two or more children a handout of PLN 500 (USD 145, EUR 118) a month per child. Poorer families receive the allowance even if they have just one child. Economy expert Jacek Tomkiewicz, from the Leon Koźmiński Academy in Warsaw, said that poverty was waning in Poland due to the improving economic situation in recent years. He told the rate of children at risk of poverty in Poland stood at 29.8 percent in 2013, giving reason to believe “the major drop in the years 2013-2016 was possible without spectacular social welfare programmes.” “However, the progress recorded in just one year [2017] is evidently the result of social policies,” he added.

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners
Культура

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
