Abstract
- Gender equality is an important aspect of a happy family. It is expressed in equality of tasks sharing, decisions related to organization of family life, equal treatment of daughters and sons etc. The main aim of the study was to look at the eff ect of immigration on the perception of gender equality. Respondents of this study were 196 Vietnamese living in Vietnam (100 persons) and Poland (96 persons). Methods of the study included: the purposely designed questionnaire administered to all participants and the in-depth interview conducted with 15 Vietnamese who got married to Poles. Two types of family relations are the main focus of the paper: a relation between spouses and between parents and off spring. The results indicate equality of husbands and wives in work and economic aspects, as both work outside the house and contribute fi nancially. Although participants overtly confi rmed the equality of children of both sexes, but in particular situations they still expressed some preference for sons. Such pattern of results is confi rmed in both groups of participants.
