We have a positive migration balance

07 February 2022

According to the latest census, 38 179 800 people live in Poland. Every fifth person is over 60 years old – Statistics Poland has informed. New data show that Poland has a positive migration balance and more Poles return to the home country than leave.

According to the census results, we have 48.5% of men and 51.5% of women. These proportions are the same as 10 years ago. A slight dominance of women is a result of the fact that women live longer

We can observe big changes in the structure of population by age. “ The share of people in the pre-productive and productive age has decreased and the share of those in the post-productive age has increased. The pre-productive age refers to 0-17 age group – it is a decrease from 18.7% to 18.2%. We have an essential increase of the post-productive age – from 16.95 to 21.8%” – President of Statistics Poland Dominik Rozkut said.

On 31st March 2021, the number of flats in Poland amounted to 15.2 million. It is a decrease by 12.6%, i.e. 1.7 million flats” – Rozkut said. We have 6.8 million buildings in Poland, which means it is more by 800 thousand and by 13.3% more than in 2011.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki emphasized in Davos the strategic importance of the Three Seas Initiative as a key platform for infrastructural, economic, and geopolitical cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. The opening speech of the panel „Three Seas Initiative: geostrategic business opportunities – a bridge to the future – from the Adriatic, the Baltic, the Black Sea to Asia” took place as part of the Leaders Forum powered by Poland during the World Economic Forum in Davos. Former polish president Andrzej Duda participated as well.

President Nawrocki noted that over the course of a decade the Three Seas Initiative has evolved from a political concept into a mature cooperation mechanism that has tangible impact on the regional development.

“Ten years ago, the Three Seas Initiative began as an idea. Up until today it has evolved into a strategic framework for regional transformation, and alliance of innovation and infrastructure, and a symbol of Central and South-Eastern Europe’s maturity and confidence on the world stage” – told the President.

In his address the President also emphasized the strong transatlantic anchoring of the Three Seas Initiative. He stressed that from the very beginning, the Initiative was conceived as an open project, strengthening cooperation between the European Union and partners outside Europe, particularly the United States. In this context, the Three Seas Initiative was presented as a “bridge” connecting a dynamically developing region with global capital, technology, and markets.

” The Three Seas Initiative has never been an inward-looking project (…) it has been strategically anchored in the transatlantic partnership that unites Europe and North America”.

The President drew attention to the geostrategic dimension of cooperation within the Three Seas region in the face of global challenges such as geopolitical instability, pressure on supply chains, and competition for resources. He pointed out that the development of modern infrastructure and the deepening of economic cooperation constitute the foundation of security and long-term growth.

The speech also had a strong economic dimension. The President of Poland underlined Poland’s ambitions to strengthen its position in the global economy and its aspirations to join the G20, highlighting the growing role of the Three Seas region as one of the engines of growth in Europe. At the same time, he invited international investors to actively participate in projects implemented under the framework of the Initiative.

During the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Karol Nawrocki also met with President of the United States Donald Trump. The main topics of their talks were security and economic issues.
