The map above shows a rather socking fact: Poland’s fertility rate has fallen to just 1.10 children per woman in 2025 one of the lowest levels in Europe.
Some more key facts (according to the map author):
👶 Fertility rate (2025): 1.10
👥 Population (2026): 37.3 million
📉 Population change since 2019: −1.05 million
🍼 Births (2019–2026): 2.13 million
⚰️ Deaths (2019–2026): 3.08 million
🔮 Projected population:
• 32.95 million by 2050 (−11.7%)
• 25.66 million by 2100 (−31.3%)
However, you can model out in more details what this means over the long term:
Cohort component projection
Poland in 2100

Today’s rate, held constant
Nobody arrives, nobody leaves
