Poles will die out like dinosaurs?

The decline in fertility in Poland, the number of children per woman, is very clear.

• Poland – 1.1

• EU – 1.4

• France – 1.5

• Sweden – 1.6

An approximate script for Poland:

• 2025 → approx. 37–38 million

• 2050 → approx. 30 million

• 2100 → approx. 20-25 million

• After 2100 → further decline

👉 This means that within 70–80 years the population can fall by up to 1/3 to 1/2.

Can this be prevented?

• Money (e.g. 500+ / 800+), i.e. direct support for families, helps, but does not in themselves importantly increase the number of children.

• Żłobki and kindergartens make it easy to combine work with raising children, for example in Scandinavian countries.

• Long and paid parental leave increases parents’ safety.

Living and stableness — cheaper housing and greater stableness are conducive to children’s decisions.
