Summary/Abstract: Confirmed by substantial research in recent decades, I consider the following to be as the most essential and most visible changes in the Polish family life: – the spreading of different forms of family life; – changes in the arrangement of family bonds, i.e., domination of the personal bonds; – changes of position and authority in the family, i.e., development of partnership relations between spouses and generations; – changes in the structure of the family; – demographic changes, i.e., a decline in the number of children in the family; – differentiation of family support, i.e., improved adjustment to the needs of specific family categories.
