The paper presents main reasons why we - in Poland - need to improve existing arrangements for work-family balance and to enforce new solutions in this area. From an economic point of view topics of importance are: reducing of unemployment, economic inactivity especially correlated with family reasons, and the reduction of negative trends in demography (low fertility, ageing).
