Social problems and threats in Siedlce County at the beginning of the 21st century

Abstract

The article presents a description of selected social threats in Siedlce County, particularly unemployment, domestic violence, necessaries of children care, lower education level. At the end of the article, former social threats are compared with the current ones that have appeared at the beginning of the 21st century. Probably the biggest social threat in the county is the low level of high technologies and the demand for low services. This means that despite the fact that unemployment is falling, and even in most industries there is a lack of employees, due to low attractiveness of offers on the labour market young people are thinking about leaving the county.
