Quality of life of women: Selected results of direct research

Abstrakt

This paper assesses the quality of life of women in Poland using a direct research method, namely a questionnaire carried out on a random sample of 503 people. The respondents were asked, first, to assess their own quality of life and, second, to evaluate specific factors such as wages, security, relationships with family, and forms of entertainment. We conclude that women in Poland highly and positively assess the majority of the analyzed components of quality of life. They pay the greatest attention to material issues as a result of Poland’s postwar and postcommunist history.
