A comparative analysis of changes in fertility, family formation and dissolution, in Poland and Estonia, is the aim of this article. The time period covered is mostly the years 1989-2005. In the past both countries were members of the socialist bloc and launched changes in their political and social systems at the end of the 1980s. Using basic demographic indicators and the position of Poland and Estonia among the countries of Europe, the changes in fertility and family processes are analysed in the context of transformation of these processes in European countries. Consequently an answer will be given to the question, of how Poland and Estonia compare to the present demographic situation in Europe. Not of least importance is the fact, that both countries belong to different regions of the continent. Estonia belongs to Northern Europe, geographically referred to as Baltoscandia, Poland to the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, rating and comparing transformations of fertility and family in the two countries, in the context of different societal and welfare systems, may be helpful while interpreting changes.
