New monograph by Prof. Grażyna Firlit-Fesnak – “Family and Family Policy in the Third Polish Republic in the Process of Change. A Comparative Perspective”

A new publication by Prof. Grażyna Firlit-Fesnak, PhD, from the Department of Social Policy at the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, University of Warsaw, has been published by “Elipsa” Publishing House. The book is entitled “Family and Family Policy in the Third Polish Republic in the Process of Change. A Comparative Perspective”.

This monograph attempts to interpret the meaning and understanding of the family within the contemporary normative and social order of Western civilization, in the context of the changing economic, political, and cultural conditions of the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century. It presents the factors influencing the negative aspects of family transformations in Poland in a European comparison, highlights the lack of family policy instruments on the part of the Polish state in many dimensions, which has led to a profound demographic crisis and, in the short term, means a rapid rate of depopulation and the highest rate of decline in the Polish population in Europe in the 21st century.
