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”.
The monograph attempts to interpret the meaning and understanding of the family in the contemporary normative and social order of Western civilization in the context of changing economic, political, and cultural conditions of the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century. It presents factors influencing the negative characteristics of family transformations in the Republic of Poland in a European comparison, and points to the inadequacy of Polish state family policy instruments towards the family in many dimensions, which has led to a profound demographic crisis and, in the short term, signifies a high rate of depopulation and the highest pace in Europe of the decline in the Polish nation’s population in the 21st century.
