COVID-19 Salgını Nedeniyle Polonya'daki Gastronomi İşinde Çalışan İşçilerin Sosyal Güvenlik Eksikliği

Abstract

Kişinin yaşama, yaşama ve gelişme imkanına sahip olduğu bir devlet olarak anlaşılan sosyal güvenlik çok önemli bir konudur. Bu devletin güvenliğini sağlamak için, devletlerin ve diğer organların belirli faaliyetleri gereklidir. Bu faaliyetler, şu anda karşılaşılan pandemi durumu gibi kriz zamanlarında bile her zaman farklı insan ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması sürecine odaklanmalıdır. COVID-19 ile ilgili sorunlar nedeniyle birçok kişinin güvenliği, özellikle de sosyal güvenliği risk altındadır. Salgından özellikle etkilenen gruplardan biri gastronomi endüstrisinde çalışan kişilerdir (pub, bar ve restoran çalışanları).
Bu makalenin amacı, gastronomi sektöründe işe alınan kişilerin mevcut insani kriz nedeniyle sosyal güvenlik anlamında sorun yaşayabileceğini göstermektir. Bu sektörün mevcut durumuna ilişkin bazı analizler yapılacaktır. Ayrıca, anti-covid kalkanları içinde devletin sosyal politikasının sağladığı yardımın yeterli ve uygun olmadığını göstermek istiyoruz. Bazı uluslararası arka plan ve senaryolar verilecek, ancak esas olarak makale Polonya'daki duruma odaklanacaktır.
