Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the results of the survey of the opinions of the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship on various family policy instruments, which are intended to support fertility and parenthood. The presented results were obtained as part of the project “Determinants of reproduction plans and fertility decision-making of the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship”, implemented in 2016 via a sample of 1,000 people aged 18-39. Opinions of people at the appropriate age for procreation regarding support provided to families are important, because they are at the stage of family planning and implementation of parental plans. It can be assumed that the conviction of these people about the effectiveness of family policy instru- ments will influence their decisions regarding having children.
