Social policy in scientific thinking about the future

The paper’s aim is to shed light on the poorly present in the scientific literature issue of the global social policy’s future. Basing on the selected publications by Club of Rome, crucial social issues are discussed. Among them are: current demographic problems of the world, the rising risk of generational conflict resulting from the growing asymmetry between working-age cohorts and the retirement-age cohorts, as well as the problem of growing social discrepancies causing radical forms of protest. In the second part of the paper various models of globalization are described in order to show their links with global social policy concepts. In the third part it is claimed that turning points in global social policy refer to: human trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism and international organizations’ behavior.
