Status socjoekonomiczny kobiet w okresie porozwodowym

The aim of this article is to present the results of research about the socio-economic status of women after divorce. 120 women after divorce participated in the survey. The women assessed their financial situation in the period before and after the divorce and the impact of divorce on their financial situation, housing and professional work. The results indicate that there is no difference in the assessment of the material situation before and after the divorce. The negative impact of divorce experienced especially women running a household alone, and a woman with two children. Living with a new partner or with second husband, and being the initiator or of the divorce process was associated with a positive assess- ment of the impact of divorce on the financial situation and housing.
