The communist system in place in Poland for over forty years contributed to the persistence of the traditional family model, yet it also forced society to adapt to new conditions brought about by women's entrance into the workplace. Their "automatic" acquisition of certain rights and so-called privileges, as propaganda described them, in the context of the responsibilities with which women were burdened, cemented gender inequality in conditions where women combined professional life with significant domestic responsibilities. Research completed in 2007 shows that social networks supporting the family are above all an element of traditional ties that have survived to this day. Households take advantage much less often of the benefits of civil society, which are usually identified with the third sector, and of the narrow offerings of the state. The ambition of families is to carry out virtually all activities themselves. This limits the options of its members when it comes to engagement in activities outside the household (professional life, political participation, and volunteer work)
