Introduction: The article discusses the aging population in Nordic countries, focusing on Sweden and Finland, where the median age has steadily increased since 1950. The text emphasizes the impact of demographic changes on the old-age dependency ratio and the subsequent implications for the welfare stateObjective: It is examination and comparison of the aging policies of Nordic countries, with a specific focus on Finland and Sweden. The author aims to shed light on the differences in pension and long-term care systems between these two nations, challenging the perception of a common "Nordic pension model."Materials and methods: The article employs a theoretical background based on the "intergenerational reciprocity trichotomy" developed by André Masson. The methodological approach utilized in the research is that of a "comparative case study." The author analyzes the pension and long-term care systems of Finland and Sweden, reviewing key indicators, policy documents, and relevant research literature.Results: While the Swedish system is financially robust, it encounters political challenges due to low public pension levels, prompting discussions about potential reforms, such as increasing contribution rates for higher benefits. Finland's public pension system, characterized by stable political support, raises concerns about long-term financial sustainability. The decision-making model, led by social partners, may shift to a more parliamentary approach as trade union density decreases and aging-related issues become more significant for the electorate. Both countries have successfully promoted high employment rates among older workers, but long-term care policies pose a greater challenge to the sustainability of their welfare models. The growing importance of family and informal care, coupled with a reliance on migrant workers for healthcare, highlights the strain on the welfare systems. Demographic changes increase pressure on pro-old welfare policies, particularly in long-term care, with Sweden better positioned than Finland to sustain elevated spending towards the elderly.

Introduction: Social security in old age is one of the fundamental human rights. The current global tendency in population aging forces one to search for new, innovative solutions that will ensure that future pension schemes will be tailored to the generational needs and will fulfill the conditions to ensure a decent life for the elderly.Objective: The aim of this paper is to analyze the context of current efforts to ensure adequate pension scheme levels and to summarize possible solutions of this problem.Materials and methods: The author describes the demographic situation and social security in different areas of the world, focusing on a case study and analyzing existing data from international opinions.Results: Social security reforms must take full account of how social security schemes can support people particularly at risk in poverty in their working lives. It’s essential for social security to be flexible and adaptable to current life cycle patterns and individual needs.

Wstęp: W artykule poddano analizie wymiar profilaktyczny regulacji prawnych dotyczących konsekwencji wypadków przy pracy.Cel: Ocena wpływu profilaktycznego celu regulacji z zakresu bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy (BHP) na wykładnię przepisów określających prawne konsekwencje wypadków przy pracy.Materiały i metody: Przy przygotowywaniu artykułu wykorzystano metodę prawno-dogmatyczną. Przedmiotem analizy były obowiązujące akty prawne oraz dorobek doktryny.Wyniki: Uwzględnienie profilaktycznego celu regulacji z zakresu BHP może istotnie wpływać na wykładnię przepisów regulujących konsekwencje prawne wypadków przy pracy. Uzasadnia ono w szczególności konieczność szerszego rozumienia pojęcia wypadku przy pracy na gruncie Kodeksu pracy, niż ma to miejsce w ustawie z dnia 30 października 2002 r. o ubezpieczeniu społecznym z tytułu wypadków przy pracy i chorób zawodowych.
