Today, we’re discussing Poland’s struggle with one of the world’s lowest fertility rates and how artificial intelligence and modern trends in the labour market are reshaping work and family life. Joining me is Professor Anna Matysiak, head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Labour Market and Family Dynamics at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Warsaw. We are discussing why Poles are having so few children and why are those low TFRs so important. Prof. Anna Matysiak is sharing her research experience with us and explains what are the crucial factors determining fertility decisions. We are also discussing how can policymakers design effective strategies to increase fertility and provide a work-life balance for families.
