Deaths in Poland
Between 1950 and 2021, the number of deaths in Poland gradually and systematically increased, noting a significant drop in 2022. Since 1950, the number of deaths increased by 160 thousand. In 2021, 7.1 percent more men than women have died, which may be related to life expectancy, which is now over eight years longer for women. In Poland, as well as in other developed countries, the number of deaths increases with age. However, there was a decrease in infant mortality by 93 percent in 2021 compared to 1980, indicating better medical care and progress in medicine.
Births in Poland
Since 1950, the number of live births has been gradually decreasing. In 2021, the rate was 22 per thousand inhabitants lower than in 1950. Nowadays, women are more consciously choosing to have children, have fewer children, and decide to have them at a later age. The largest percentage of women in Poland choose to have a child after 30 years of age. As a result of this and other events, it is estimated that by 2100, Poland's population will decrease, reaching 29.5 million people.
