Demokratyzacja relacji małżeńskich i rodzicielskich we współczesnych rodzinach
Democratization of Marital and Parental Relations in Contemporary Families

Summary/Abstract: A contemporary family is a space of constant changes concerning both its structure and function as well as the roles and relations of its members. One of the processes, that takes place in it, according to A. Giddens, it is the process of democratization, which corresponds to the process of democratization in the public sphere. It concerns equality of family members, their mutual respect, autonomy of each of them, lack of violence, and decision-making based on negotiation and dialogue. These processes also occur in Polish families. The aim of this article is to present the contexts of democratization of marital and parental relations based on the analysis of the everyday life of dual-career families, in which both professionally active women and men engaged in their fatherhood go beyond stereotypical family roles. The conceptions of egalitarian relations between spouses and egalitarian parenthood were analyzed in detail.
