Family above all
Public opinion
poll results have for years consistently shown that Polish people find a
successful family life is the most important value. Poland has one of the lowest
divorce rates in Europe. This is certainly in part due to the significance of
religion in Polish lives, but not only. Agnostics and "lapsed Catholics" as well
value the family more than money and professional status. Talking to Poles you
may easily get the impression that Polish families are unusually large. Nothing
could be further from the truth, however. You should realise that in everyday
language "sister" and "brother" can mean "cousin", and "'aunties" and "uncles"
may be just family friends. The most popular family model is the 2 + 2 formula
(mother, father, and two children), and according to precise statistics it is
now nearer 2 + 1.5.
