Some of Us Are Divorced
| In the period 2005–2018, an average of 65,000 divorces were granted in Poland annually; in recent years approximately one in every three marriages has ended in divorce. This means that divorcees are an ever-growing social group, something that is confirmed by empirical research. Two thirds of adult Poles (67%) are in contact with at least one person who is divorced.
| The majority of those in contact with someone divorced say that this is an acquaintance or a neighbour (64%). For almost three fifths this is a close friend (57%) or distant relative (58%), while for two fifths (40%) this is someone from their closest family (parents, siblings or children) or the close family of their partner or spouse (37%). One in nine of those in contact with someone divorced (11%) is divorced themselves, and one in fourteen (7%) says that their current partner has been divorced.
|
| In terms of the whole group surveyed, it is fair to say that over two fifths of adult Poles will have come across a divorcee among their acquaintances or neighbours (42%), and not many fewer among their more distant relatives (38%) or close friends (38%). About a quarter have someone divorced in their immediate family (27%), or the family of their partner or spouse (24%). Every twelfth Polish adult admits to being divorced themselves (8%), and 4% are in a relationship with a divorcee.
