This is the first in Poland and fourth in the world report devoted to present the costs of family breakdown for the state and society.

Abstract: This paper presents the discussion about evaluating and using „migrating fertility” potential as a useful approach for designing and implementing pro-natalist and family policies, which may play a significant role in managing migration processes, especially in the context of low fertility in European countries. The analysis presented in...

The West is changing profoundly and so is its cultural and community-building potential. When we observe the transformations of this civilization in such aspects as fertility rates, marriage and divorce statistics, single-parenthood and out-of-wedlock births, birth control and euthanasia, one may look for a common explanation of this phenomena. It...

This paper analyzes the influence of the transformations of marriage and family on the human capital (HC) creation in contemporary Western societies. One of the basic assumptions included here is that these processes are connected with profound socio-cultural shifts that were initiated in the 20th century, and were manifested e.g. through the sexua...

The article explores the interactions between the family and the market in the context of the happiness and tensions that exist between these two social institutions. The analysis undertaken here also stresses the importance of culture, understood as the norms, values and beliefs which are important for a wide range of actions and processes within...

Thesis: Present‑day radical fertility changes are determined by socio‑cultural factors and will have consequences for the economy and its development potential. Current changes in the fertility rate in Poland are the subject of many discussions and arguments. It means that, among the challenges for researchers, firstly, they have to understand the...

Current demographic transformations and tendencies are more and more often subject to analysis and research. Current fertility, marriage and divorce rates indicate that the societies of the West undergo serious changes which have their impact on all aspects of life. At the same time awareness of their influence on political and economic domains see...

This article analyzes the role a family plays in the context of business and society. Although it may seem obvious enough that this primary group is fundamental for social organization, certain aspects of this impact, which in the end influences ethical development of social actors are described. The article concentrates on such issues as gift, tru...

In our contemporary literature and academic discourse, we often see how popular the topic of corporate social responsibility is. It will be argued that another problem, tightly linked to this issue, and strongly influencing the business environment is the consumer behaviour. This second part of business relations is often associated rather with leg...

Current demographic trends indicate that the process of ageing is more and more advanced in Western societies. While the available literature addressing this issue concentrates most often on developing effective tools for socio-economic policy, this paper aims at exploring the dominating assumptions of economics and culture to find how they may inf...

The current and forecasted image of the demographic processes and condition of the socioeconomic order of the West (evident e.g. the in case of pension systems based on intergenerational solidarity) calls for thorough reflection. Not only potential, but also increasingly real economic problems in this area indicate that the possibility of serious c...

"Ageing of the Society in the Context of Dominant Assumptions of Contemporary Economics and Culture" Current demographic trends indicate that the process of aging is more and more advanced in Western societies. While available literature addressing this issue most often concentrates on developing effective tools for socio-economic policy, this pap...

Sociological perspective shows well that the family is one of the basic spheres where the process o...

Abstrakt Economics plays important role in contemporary societies and shapes our thinking about fundamental aspects of everyday life. If that is the case, it is necessary to analyse economic theories from the axiological point of view. It does not only has theoretical importance but practical as well when we consider recent financial and economic...

The paper analyzes interdependence of the market sphere which functions according to the logic of contract, and the sphere of non-market activity within economy, where the logic of gift dominates as a paradigm. The purpose of the analysis is to present how the above concepts of societal exchange intertwine and complete each other within the socio-e...

This paper analyses the complexity of family life, which includes both its charismatic and institutional aspects. Deepening the understanding of this basic social group can be useful in explaining how human beings in their decisions and actions , as well as organizations, unceasingly transcend different oppositions and dimensions. Undertaking this...

Crisis, sometimes associated with historically distant times or centrally planned economies, has turned out to be one of the main contemporary issues. Hence different systems like socialism and capitalism become similar in their inability to reply to expectations for a safe, peaceful and abundant life. It means that economic problems are more compl...

The status of the child in the context of contemporary socio-cultural processes that are reflected in the market is the main issue discussed in this paper. It may be surprising to concentrate on children and the market, while the sphere of economic exchange is the scene of such actions as work, production and consumption which seem to be reserved t...

This article undertakes the question of „economic man” in context of postmodern philosophy. The purpose of it is to analyze current understanding of man in market surrounding and his family relations.

In our contemporary literature and academic discourse we often see how popular the topic of corporate social responsibility is. In my opinion another problem – tightly linked to this – and strongly influencing our business life is consumer’s activity. This second part of business relations is often associated rather with legal demands and customer’...
