The publication “The Life of Poles: From Leaving the Parental Home to Retirement,” edited by Irena E. Kotowska, Anna Matysiak, and Monika Mynarska, presents key findings from the Polish Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). It examines transitions in family life, focusing on topics such as the timing of adulthood milestones, parenthood postponement, attitudes toward gender roles, and the division of childcare and housework. The findings reveal generational shifts, such as delayed parenthood and increased diversity in family trajectories, while highlighting persistent gender inequalities in domestic responsibilities. The report emphasizes the value of longitudinal data for understanding demographic and family changes.
