Marriages (GUS)

Newly contracted marriages per 1,000 population according to Statistics Poland (GUS).

About this series

Marriages per 1,000 people. BDL 450543.

Indicator definition

This indicator measures annual events rather than marital status stock. Fertility is tracked in Fertility (GUS), while divorces form a separate indicator.

How to read the data

The marriage rate declined from 5.0 to 3.6 per 1,000 population. Fewer marriages do not directly mirror birth rates, as the average age of family formation has shifted.
