Selected problems of social risk management

Abstract

Social risk in traditional terms is the likelihood of some event occurring that will deplete an individual, household or community’s assets or increase their future financial needs. They can be considered in various types of arrangements, but the broadest classification was created by the International Labour Organisation. A less well-known approach to social risk is the various types of risks arising from interpersonal and inter-organisational relationships. This perspective is practically absent in Polish literature. The first aim of the article is therefore to fill this gap. The second aim is to bring closer the issue of social risk management. In our country this subject is also very rarely raised and usually on a very general level. Meanwhile, the concept of the social risk management (SRM) has been developed for years. It is also a bridge to the transition to the system of holistic management of all other risks. The article presents its philosophy and instruments, then concretises it on the example of smallholder agriculture, which is most exposed to weather and climate shocks, which makes it very difficult for farms to permanently leave the poverty sphere and undertake economic activities that are more risky, but on the other hand potentially more profitable. The thesis organising the whole discussion is the statement that we should go beyond the narrow boundaries of the essence of social risk management in Poland in order to better understand new threats and prepare for them.
