Wartości życiowe młodych Polaków aktywnych zawodowo o stabilnej sytuacji finansowej
Life Values of Professionally Active Poles with a Stable Financial Situation

Summary/Abstract: Values are the notion, which has received in social sciences many proposals of conceptualisation and their common element is an emphasis put on the importance of value in formation of man’s behaviours, thus considering that they are an important element of the lifestyle. In the subject literature, there is also raised the issue of attributing hierarchy to values, what stems from their different importance in life of individuals, what, in turn, is determined by endo- and exogenous variables. Among the endogenous variables, there may be distinguished, for instance, sex, age, education, financial affluence, professional activity, etc. Having in mind the specificity of the young generation, it is worthwhile to pay attention to the relevant for this generation hierarchy of values; recognition of this issue is the subject matter of surveys carried out among 200 young Varsovians, professionally active and having stable financial condition. The survey findings indicate that the most important values are one’s health and health of the family members as well as family happiness, while the least important for the population in question is the life compliant with religion and political activity.
