• Baby boom in Poland
  • 05.01.2010

The number of children being born in Poland has risen dramatically since 2008. 

 

While in 2005 only 364,000 children were born in Poland, three years later the number exceeded 400,000. A birth rate has increased over the last years mainly because people who were born during a population explosion in 1980s started setting up families themselves, say demographers. However, a sudden growth of birth rate in 2009 indicates that a present baby boom is not just a reflection of 1980s generation reaching adulthood but a steady demographic trend. 

 

In spite of baby boom in Poland, though, the country has reported the lowest birth rate in the European Union, shows Eurostat. (mg)
