“…Becoming a grandmother is perceived as a natural extension of womanly duties that are carried into old age (Author, 2010). More than that, due to insufficient creches and kindergarten infrastructure, the role of grandmothers and their support in childcare become taken for granted in Poland (Martinez-Fernandez et al, 2013).…”

Drawing on the debates regarding work–family reconciliation in later life, we examine the extent to which the labor market position of grandmothers and nongrandmothers can be explained by their varied family situations. The data for this study comes from the Generations and Gender Survey for Poland and includes 5,999 women aged 45+ years. We use multinominal logistic regression models to explore the link between different family situations and labor market withdrawal into unemployment, sick/disability leave, and retirement. Our results indicate that neither caring for older parents nor living with children has significant effects on women’s labor activity. However, living with a disabled person reduces the chances for women’s employment significantly. In addition, women who have grandchildren have lower chances for being employed as compared with those without grandchildren. We discuss these findings in relation to work–family balance policies and research.

“…The endogenous variable, considered in this paper, has four levels, thus we used a multinomial logistic regression model as proposed by Luce (1959). More information about the model can be found in Hosmer and Lemeshow (2000), Collett (2003) and Allison (2009).…”

This paper presents examples of complex instruments oriented toward improvement of demographic situation at local level, represented by communes (local regions in Poland), and identifies links between communes’ investment attractiveness and the level of complexity of the demographic instruments they implement. We performed a multilayer research on 16 communes in Poland. The research encompassed an analysis of communes’ official documents, an electronic audit of their official website portals and Bulletins of Public Information, and structured surveys with official representatives of communes’ authorities. We identified significant differences in communes’ approach toward preparation and implementation of instruments aimed at the improvement of local demographic variables. Those differences depend on the level of potential investment attractiveness represented by a given commune. We have distinguished communes which are leading, following, or performing moderately when it comes to giving importance to demographic challenges in public policy discourse. Case studies presented in this paper and the proposed typology of communes constitute a rudimentary catalogue of possible communes’ responses to demographic challenges. The presented tools can be used by the local authorities to raise the potential investment attractiveness of their region and support them in policy making.
