Indicator comparison
Range of Population growth: 1961–2025. Range of Net migration: 1960–2025.
Annual population change in percent beside net migration in people. One is the headline pace; the other is the cross-border flow.
Poland’s Population growth turned negative while Net migration stayed noisy — births minus deaths no longer offset departures. Read with birth-rate-and-death-rate and Population.

Check the units, period and source descriptions before comparing.
Annual population change in percent. Growth in Poland is currently negative, and global population growth is slower than in the 1960s.
Difference between arrivals and departures in a given year. Figures show marked year-on-year fluctuations, while the United States remains a constant destination country.
These series use different units. To compare them fairly on a single chart, consider using year-on-year change (YoY) or index (base year = 100).

Annual population change in percent. Growth in Poland is currently negative, and global population growth is slower than in the 1960s.
Annual population change in percent across countries and the world. Each row carries the year, country, and value.
Annual population growth rate combining natural increase and net migration. The percentage alone does not distinguish between birth rates and migration flows — see Fertility and Net migration.
Poland is already negative (~−0.3% in 2025). Germany is near zero. The US ~0.5%, the world ~0.9% — slower than the 1960s. Do not confuse this with GDP growth.

Difference between arrivals and departures in a given year. Figures show marked year-on-year fluctuations, while the United States remains a constant destination country.
Arrivals minus departures, people per year. The world is ~0 by construction. The series is noisy and often revised.
Net migration (difference between arrivals and departures). Does not split refugees, seasonal workers, and permanent residents. Read with Population and Population growth.
The US stays a large net receiver. Poland and Germany jump year to year — 2025 is strongly negative for both in this copy. Do not hang a story on one year; use Fertility for the slow force.
