Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of children’s homelessness, its origins and approaches in the attempt to overcome the Second Polish Republic. The author attempts to analyze the reasons and factors that contributed to the spread of homelessness among children and adolescents. The main factors that were decisive exacerbated the phenomenon of child neglect: the effects of war, unemployment, asocial way of life, disintegration of families, loss of values and guidelines. It is proved that despite the government’s attempts in the way to control and overcome the problem, it still was unable to solve it, and then the state shifted the responsibility on public and religious associations. Foreign humanitarian organizations helped to stabilize the situation with the rescue of street children. International charity organizations have become the source of funds, which was not enough for the Soviet government to solve the problem. The experience of the Second Polish Republic demonstrate the ability not just of the systematic approaches to solving problems, but also the democratic nature of its decision, which certainly had a positive impact on the pace and quality for the elimination of both neglect and homelessness. Summing up the brief review of the problem, it should be noted that, despite its certain property, out of sight remains a number of unanswered research questions regarding regulation and the elimination of children’s homelessness and child neglect in the Second Polish Republic of the postwar period.
