In cases of high debt, rising costs of living or inflation, poor or low wages, difficulties for employment can a housing policy in form of subsidies, discounts, special financing schemes or low cost housing be a good policy for state development as an intervention to stabilise economic conditions and stimulate growth and gain popular support.

if housing infrastructure is underdeveloped leaving to expensive rents / ownership flats. Then state should give incentives for investors or become an investor itself to depress rents and still create incentives for investment.

The idea of "shared ownership" and "cooperative ownership" of marginal and low-income housing is a good idea.

The role of the state in housing production is supposed to be confined to the housing of the poor and the marginalized because they are in need of support and adequate housing.

Dear Mr. Dariusz Prokopowicz ,It depends on the environment, availability of land, government regulations, supporting resources, public opinion, and government policies in the field and the latter depends on urgent requests. in fact, it must examine the supporting factors that might be used as deeper study material. Regards.

Sharing is an option for many. In some countries that is becoming a practice especially among families and that is an old practice. However, making housing available to everyone is best and that can help society and the country to develop. One should not wait until its expensive to make it cheap. Making it affordable is best so extra money goes to other expenditures.

that depends upon the inflationary trend in the economy.

Housing should be available to every citizens regardless of the economic conditions.

In view of the above, it is also important to include in the above discussion also the following issue:

Thanks to technological progress and growing production, the standard of living of citizens is increasing and the possibilities of pro-social implementation, active social, socio-economic and housing policies are increasing. The possibilities of applying this type of socio-economic policy, including housing policy and implementation of pro-development economic functions, are usually higher in highly developed countries or rapidly developing technologically. Nowadays, the developed interventionist socio-economic, fiscal and monetary policies etc. allow for active housing policy as interventionist, post-keynesian, anti-crisis, activating consumption and economic activity. When applying active housing policy, new apartments are being built, housing estates available for citizens representing the middle class, achieving average and lower incomes. Active anti-crisis, anti-cyclical, post-keynesian housing policy, used in the situation of a progressive decline in economic growth and changes in the scope of implementation of this socio-economic policy in the context of cyclical processes of economic processes, realized in many years can significantly reduce the scale of recession. On the other hand, during the downturn of the national economy through the use of active anti-crisis, anti-cyclical, post-keynesian housing policy. One of the key determinants of the application of economic activation of housing policy are fiscal instruments and a good state of public finances is indispensable, i.e. low public debt and budget deficit if it is not possible to generate a budget surplus in a given situation of the business cycle.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

I suggest continuing the discussion on the following topic:

Determinants of the impact of pro-development social policy, including social security systems, on social cohesion, trust and social capital.

The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question:

What are the determinants of the impact of pro-development social policy, including social security systems, on social cohesion, trust and social capital?

On the basis of the above considerations and conclusions from the discussion on interesting issues discussed, I formulated the following thesis that effectively conducted pro-development social policy as part of socio-economic policy can be used by the government as an important instrument of state interventionism in shaping social issues of society. Therefore, pro-development social policy, including social security systems, can be used as an interventionist instrument shaping social issues such as social cohesion, trust and social capital. Below I have described the key determinants confirming the formulated research thesis. To the above discussion I would like to add the following conclusion formulated as a summary of my previous considerations on this topic: The impact of pro-development social policy, including social security systems on social cohesion, trust and social capital.

In some of my scientific publications I described the results of research in the field of economic and sociological sciences regarding the issue of social programs conducted as part of development-oriented, interventionist economic policy, including social and sociological aspects. I study the issues of social programs conducted as part of development-oriented, interventionist economic policy on the example of the Family 500 Plus Program and the Flat Plus Program (Mieszkanie Plus Program) conducted in my country for over 3 years. These programs are currently the key instruments of interventionist, pro-development, anti-crisis socio-economic policy, whose current goals are to improve the financial, material and housing situation of citizens as well as to stimulate consumption, economic activity and economic growth.

In addition, macroeconomically strategic and investment goals include stopping the fast-progressing process unfavorable to society, the economy, the social security system, i.e. the process of changing the demographic structure of society consisting of aging of the society. If the aging process of the society is not stopped by effectively conducted social and socio-economic policy, then in the near future, perhaps in 10-20 years, public goods delivery systems and social security systems financed from public finance funds, including a social security system, participatory the pension system, public health care system, etc. will be more and more scarce each year. In such a situation, when implementing a negative scenario in the future, these social security and public goods delivery systems will absorb increasing amounts of subsidies from the state budget, and eventually the public finance system will declare bankruptcy or will be reduced to a level that will not provide citizens with well-being at present level.

The risk of this negative scenario is increasing because the aging of the population is progressing and public debt of state finances is increasing in many countries. To avoid this negative scenario, interventionist, investment, pro-development and Keynesian socio-economic policy programs are being developed. I described examples of this type of social and socio-economic programs in my scientific publications. For many years I have been researching this issue and I have described this important issue for the economic development of the country in the scope of economic development interventionist policy which I described on the example of the Family 500 Plus Program and the Flat Plus Program (Mieszkanie Plus Program) conducted for over 3 years in my country. In addition, in my research I took into account sociological issues, the social costs of a negative, rapidly progressing process of changing the demographic structure of society, i.e. the aging of the society, and the positive effects of development-friendly programs that improve the economic, material, housing and thus the social, cultural, etc. of the citizens. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to cooperation.

In line with the above, in my opinion, an effective pro-development social policy that is part of socio-economic policy can be used by the government as an important instrument of state interventionism in shaping social issues of society. Therefore, pro-development social policy, including social security systems, can be used as an interventionist instrument shaping social issues such as social cohesion, trust and social capital.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal.

In view of the above, I am asking you the following questions:

- Can effectively conducted pro-development social policy being part of socio-economic policy be used by the government as an important instrument of state interventionism in shaping social issues of society?

- How can pro-development social policy, including social security systems, be used as an interventionist instrument shaping social issues such as social cohesion, trust and social capital?

- What are the determinants of the impact of pro-development social policy, including social security systems, on social cohesion, trust and social capital?

- What do you think about this topic?

- What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

Dear Jasmin Omercic PhD., Eberhard Weber, Ali Hasan Zayer, I Putu - Artaya, Pazhani Samy, Germain Gollo, Thank you very much for participating in this discussion and providing inspiring and informative answers to the above question: Under what economic conditions housing policy can be an effective instrument for pro-development state intervention? Thank you very much for your inspiring, interesting and highly substantive answer. I also believe that in the period of weak economic growth, housing policy can be an effective instrument for pro-development state intervention. Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

In connection with the above, I am asking You to answer the following question: If the economic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic continues for at least a few more months, then should the scope of public sector investment in construction projects be increased as part of the anti-crisis, pro-development, interventionist socio-economic policy? in infrastructure and housing construction?

What do you think about it?

What is your opinion on this topic?

Thank you very much and best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Addressing social housing shortages with housing investments can have a multiplier effects.
