Abstract

This article presents local government expenditures on family foster care in terms of their spatial concentration. The main aim of the study is to capture regional differences in the financing of family foster care in Poland. The location quotient and the shift-share analysis were applied in the study. The spatial disparities in the functioning of social assistance, in terms of foster family care, in Poland have been detected. These differences are caused by higher revenues for budgets, resulting in major additions to social benefits.
