For many countries the Industrial Revolution was an opportunity for a dynamic economic development, but it was accompanied by deep social changes. Inequalities between regions have deepened, pollution has increased and also conjunctural fluctuations have intensified. In contemporary view at the social welfare there is a tendency to abandon identifying it with the level of income. Also, the research on the causes of socio-economic success is developing. One of the aspects of the research, which the article refers to, is the role of the institutions (within the meaning of institutional economics) in the socio-economic development. The aim of the paper is to examine the relationship between indicators of institutional environment and indices related to socio-economic development. For the analysis of the institutional environment the indices published by the World Bank under the name of Worldwide Governance Indicators were used. The analysis of socio-economic level of the countries is based on Sustainable Society Index and its components, which include a wide range of factors related to well-being. The analysis was conducted in two stages. The first stage is a general study of the correlation between WGI and SSI for 151 countries from different continents. The second stage includes a more detailed analysis conducted for the European Union, using the cluster method and the analysis of the level of indicators in groups of countries. The study is based on the data from 2010.

Inclusive development is a multifaceted conception, which makes it difficult to measure. Recent years, however, have brought some proposals for measuring this phenomenon, which opens up new opportunities to deepen the knowledge of how countries are doing in making their economic and social progress more inclusive. The aim of the paper is to examine the level of advancement of inclusive development in Poland in comparison to other OECD countries. The main hypothesis states that the development in Poland is less inclusive than the OECD average. The research covers data from 30 countries (OECD members, excluding the countries where such data were unavailable), and is based on the OECD's proposal of measurement. The study was conducted with the use of data normalisation into unified indices, taxonomic methods (cluster analysis based on the Ward hierarchic method), and comparative analysis. The results indicate areas of improvement for Poland. These are issues connected with the functioning of the labour market (the level of labour productivity, employment ratio, earnings dispersion), access to loans for starting or expanding businesses, but also life expectancy, wealth distribution, early childhood education and care, and, most of all, characteristics related to the area of governance, such as trust in the government, and voter turnout. ; Rozwój inkluzywny jest pojęciem wielowymiarowym, co czyni go trudnym do zmierzenia. Jednak w ostatnich latach pojawiły się propozycje pomiaru tego zjawiska, które otwierają nowe możliwości pogłębienia wiedzy na temat tego, jak poszczególne kraje radzą sobie w czynieniu ekonomicznego postępu bardziej włączającym. Celem artykułu jest sprawdzenie poziomu zaawansowania inkluzywności rozwoju w Polsce w porównaniu do innych krajów OECD. Za główną hipotezę przyjęto w artykule stwierdzenie, że rozwój w Polsce jest mniej inkluzywny niż przeciętnie w OECD. Badanie obejmuje 30 krajów członkowskich OECD (pominięto te, dla których dane nie były dostępne) i opiera się na propozycji pomiaru rozwoju inkluzywnego opracowanej przez OECD. W badaniu wykorzystano normalizację danych do jednolitych indeksów, metody taksonomiczne (analiza skupień w wersji Warda) oraz analizę porównawczą. Wyniki badania pozwoliły wskazać obszary inkluzywności wymagające w Polsce poprawy. Są to kwestie związane z funkcjonowaniem rynku pracy (poziom wydajności pracy, stopa zatrudnienia, zróżnicowanie wynagrodzeń), dostęp do kredytów na rozpoczęcie lub rozszerzenie własnej działalności, ale także długość życia, dystrybucja majątku i wczesna opieka i edukacja oraz przede wszystkim czynniki związane z instytucjami publicznymi, takie jak zaufanie do rządu lub frekwencja wyborcza.
