According to the assumptions of this program, the money paid to its participants should be used to partially cover the costs associated with meeting the necessities of life and raising a child.

Through the analysis of legal acts, legal scholars and reports, the authors of this Article try to answer whether this program has contributed to increasing the birth rate in Poland, as well as to improving the situation of Polish society and the country.
