Two-thirds of Poles are critical of the fact that more and more children are born out of wedlock, says a new probe carried out by the TNS OBOP researchers.

Half of the population approve that the marriage age is increasing but near on half are not happy that it is nowadays easier to have a church marriage annulled. Poles are also almost exactly divided in their opinions on living together: 47% are critical while 50% don’t see a problem.

48% are not happy that couples nowadays have fewer children than in the past but 40% say it is good that a woman has her first child at an older age than her mother.

TNS OBOP researchers say that more positive responses to the changing demographic tendencies were reported in the big cities.
