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.
