Summary/Abstract: Unemployment is one of the main factors causing problems in the functioning of the family and above all in the process of socialization. It is one of the causes of poverty and the process of marginalization of many families in Polish society. Poverty has a special impact not only on the functioning of the whole family but especially on the upbringing and behavior of children and youth, and promotes the development of dysfunction in the family. Poverty affects the sphere of personality, the ability to communicate in a peer environment, the spread of pathology among children and adolescents. This problem undoubtedly has a negative impact on shaping the worldview of young individuals who usually finish their education at the basic level. Unemployed families encounter many barriers on their way, which impede their lives and discourage them from functioning in society. Children, seeing the breakdown of their parents, are becoming negative about people and the world. Poverty is a phenomenon that mainly damages human life, although there are cases when it teaches people responsibility and social maturity.
