1960–2024
Indicator comparison
Births and deaths per 1,000 people, same scale. When deaths cross births, natural increase turns negative.
Poland’s Birth rate fell below Death rate in the 2010s — the gap is natural change before Net migration. Ageing lifts deaths even as Life expectancy at birth rises.

Live births per 1,000 people in a given year. This reflects the annual birth volume rather than the total fertility rate Fertility.
Annual deaths per 1,000 people. In Poland the rate increased with an ageing population and later fell; it measures mortality rather than life expectancy Life expectancy at birth.

Live births per 1,000 people in a given year. This reflects the annual birth volume rather than the total fertility rate Fertility.
Live births per 1,000 people in a given year. Annual figures from 1960 for the same countries as in Fertility.
Crude birth rate (live births per 1,000 people), not children per woman. Rising fertility Fertility with a falling population can still mean fewer total births.
Poland fell from ~16 to ~8 per 1,000; Germany and the US are lower still. Read with Fertility, Births (GUS) and Maternal mortality.

Deaths per 1,000 people in a given year. Annual from 1960; complements Birth rate on the same scale.
Crude death rate (deaths per 1,000 people). Rises when the population ages even if life expectancy increases — compare Life expectancy at birth.
Poland climbed above 10 as society aged, then eased. Pair with Birth rate, Deaths (GUS) and Population growth.
