Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the two ways of life that young, educated Poles must choose for themselves – to have children and combine family and work responsibilities; or not to have children. The paper attempts to answer the following three questions: 1) what arguments are advanced by parents in favor of reproduction?; 2) how do parents reconcile family and professional responsibilities?; and 3) why, in the opinion of couples who choose not to be parents, it is worth it to remain childless?
