Extract

This article touches primarily on the influence that the socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Poland have on the family structure and individual needs of the elderly. Based on several studies in the past 20 years in Poland, I will show the main direction the changes are taking in the patterns of family support (i.e., intergenerational help) for elderly people.
