DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSFORMATION OF FAMILY - CHALLENGES FOR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES
Abstract
The contemporary Polish family is undergoing a number of demographic changes that
modify its structure and size and in consequence the function it performs. The article sets out
to present the main dimensions of these developments in the light of Polish and foreign literature.
A discussion is offered of such phenomena as longevity (multigenerational families),
childlessness and the trend to have few children, as well as the popularity of divorces and informal
relationships and their impact upon the size, structure and functions of families. The
presented developments indicate that already at present social policy specialists, when preparing
long-term action plans, must allow for the future limitations regarding the educative
functions played by the family, in particular care of the elderly.
