The fertility rate (TFR) in Poland in the period 1955-2017

The fertility rate has dropped 2.5 times over the last 60 years. Immediately after the baby boom in the first half of the 1980s, many generations of women born in the second half of the 1970s, an increase in the number of births from the mid-1990s, were expected as a result of entering the age of the highest fertility age in Poland. which lasted until 2003. In the following years, the number of births increased slightly until 2009, which was a consequence of the baby boom in the early 1980s. The next drop in the number of births lasted until 2015. Currently, the fertility rate is far from the desired value. At the same time, there were unfavorable changes in the distribution of births by mother's age. The fertility rate of women under the age of 25 decreased significantly

过去60年间，生育率（fertility rate）已下降2.5倍。20世纪80年代上半叶的婴儿潮结束后，1970年代下半叶出生的多代女性陆续进入波兰的生育高峰期年龄区间（该区间持续至2003年），因此学界曾预计1990年代中期起出生人口数量将出现增长。在随后的年份中，出生人口数量小幅增长直至2009年，这一现象正是1980年代初期婴儿潮所带来的结果。此后出生人口数量再度下滑，这一趋势一直持续至2015年。当前，波兰生育率仍远未达到预期水平。与此同时，按母亲年龄划分的出生人口分布也出现了不利变化，25岁以下女性的生育率更是出现了显著下滑。
