Until there was no first public release. In the first installment, it turned out that the number of Poles exceeded 38.1 million. – Demography is a key element of action – said then Prime Minister Morawiecki.
In the latest study, however, the Central Statistical Office shows that it is the best in this respect. It turns out that people over 60 are the only group that has recorded the last form as more numerous.
In 2011, there were 6.5 million seniors in our country (women after “60” and men after “65”). In the year of the form, this number reaches almost 8.5 million. This means that the collection of almost 2 million people in retirement age, i.e. this group has increased by over 30%.
Seniors are under this exception, except. The census has to be carried out so that there are exactly fewer people aged (a decrease by 9%, or 2.2 million people) and children and adolescents (7 million against 7.2 million a decade ago).
“As a result of the uprising of the century in Poland, we have in 2021, for every 100 people of age, there were 69 people of non-working age; nearly 14 people more than in 2011. “ – we read in the GUS game.
More divorces and singles

There are also fewer widows and widowers (a decrease from 9.6 to 8.5%).
However, the number of divorced people is growing quite rapidly. In 2011, there were 5 percent of them. In the drug. This means that after the divorce, it is now 50 percent. more Poles than 10 years ago.
Slightly and your quality is also the number of bachelors, who will speak today by 30 percent. society. Here, however, a failure on sale with the exclusion is out of the question.

We work more and longer
The Central Statistical Office also shows that Poles are being punished more and more. In 2011, there were just over 15 million people on the labor market. Today there are over 17 million, it is already in the state of towns and villages.
“An important change worth emphasizing is the more than twofold increase in the percentage in post-working age, which is On the one hand, the result is a segment, and also behind this set of labor resources, labor forces, in law, but also force electromotive movement, incl. Through complementary representations from aggregates of formal aggregations“- we read in the case.
Interestingly, the city is becoming more and more depopulated, while the number of people in the countryside is growing.
“There has been a decrease in the number of urban population – by 657.0 thousand people, while the number of people in the countryside by 181.3 thousand.” – writes the Central Statistical Office.
At the same time, migrations cause the number of individual voivodships to change. In the years 2011–2021, in the appeal method, the population was recalled; program in Świętokrzyskie – by 6.6 percent, Opolskie – by 6.1 percent. and Lublin by 5.7 percent. In turn, another increase in the number of people in the diet – 4.7 percent. and Pomeranian – by 3.6 percent.
“The scale of changes in the number of inhabitants in individual voivodeships is the fulfillment of the economic infrastructure and prospects on the labor market, which in turn determines the migration (inflow or lack of outflow, especially of young people), and then the creation of people”, explains the Central Statistical Office.
