Summary/Abstract: The dynamic development of humanity and globalization have led to changes in understanding the family, both by ordinary people and scientists. The article deals with the perception of the contemporary family by Poles, as well as with its security environment and fulfilling the need for security of its members. To discuss this issues, the author points out the inaccuracies and terminological differences concerning the concept of family. Then he characterizes the security environment of the contemporary family according to the eight-element concept of Juliusz Piwowarski. Finally, he analyzes several selected reports from the CBOS research from 2017–2019 regarding the family and its perception by Poles. This allows the author to propose his own definition of a (contemporary) family. The analysis also leads to the conclusion that despite changes and differences in perceiving the family, it invariably remains the most important value for Poles, and its main tasks include fulfilling the need for security of its members.
