Polska polityka rodzinna w latach 1989–2015. Próba podsumowania
Overview of family policy in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents main directions of the family policy in Poland between 1898 and 2015. The author distinguishes and analyses three main periods: the transformation period (1989–1997), the transition period (1997–2005), and the mature period (2005–2015). Next, he identifies and discusses three most durable characteristics of the Polish model of family policy, i.e. the lack of coherence and institutional integrity, pro‑natalism, and familialism. In general, differences between main political actors in the area of family policy have not been significant. He claims that the tensions between pro‑market and culturally conservative ideas have influenced the policies to the largest extent.
