Youth mortality in Poland

In this two-part article, mortality among young people in Poland is analyzed. Comparisons are made with mortality for the population as a whole. Factors examined include sex, place of residence, and major causes of death.     

Excess mortality among men in Poland

Trends in mortality among males in Poland for the period 1950-1986 are examined. Factors contributing to the excess mortality of males are discussed.     

Premature mortality in Poland by region

Using an indicator of premature mortality developed by B. Ts. Urlanis, the author calculates mortality differentials for Poland by administrative region (voivodship).     

Analysis of changes in mortality in Poland

Mortality rates for both sexes for 5- and 10-year age intervals are analyzed for the years 1960-1983 for various localities of Poland. The author notes a decline in mortality since 1966, and provides new estimates of that trend. Some problems concerning the data are also considered.     

Mortality changes in Poland

The authors analyze the increase in mortality rates that has been observed since the 1970s in Poland, especially among men in the 20-39 age group. The causes of this phenomenon are considered, particularly the illnessess associated with developed countries. Mortality and morbidity differentials by administrative regions are explored.     

Demographic transformation in Poland

The author presents a general review of the demographic transition in Poland from 1750 to the present day. Official data are used to describe the fluctuations in birth and death rates over this period.     

Fertility prospects in Poland

The three phases of the demographic transition in Poland are described with emphasis on changes in fertility. The author notes that the country had entered the third phase of low fertility by 1965. Despite a slight temporary increase due to pronatalist incentives, fertility has since remained low and will probably continue at this level or decline further.     

俄罗斯与波兰统计工作

2002年8月下旬,以国家统计局局长朱之鑫为团长的中国政府统计代表团访问了俄罗斯和波兰两国。考察团了解了两国的统计体制及其工作概况,并实地考察了俄罗斯圣彼得堡市的统计工作。其间,朱之鑫局长与俄罗斯国家统计委员会主席索科林签署了“中国统计代表团访问俄罗斯国家统计委员会备忘录”,与波兰中央统计局局长托琴斯基达成了中波两国加强统计合作的几点共识。     

Duration of marriages in Poland

Some estimates of future marriage duration in Poland are presented. The estimates are based on the assumption that marriages will end at the death of either spouse, and these deaths are projected using 1980-1981 official life tables by sex. The tables showing the probability of marriages ending in this way are provided for various five-year age groups and take into account differences in age between husband and wife.     

The demographic situation in Poland in 1987

Demographic trends in Poland in 1987 are reviewed using data from official sources. The author notes that the population growth rate for 1987 was 0.5 percent, compared to 0.8 percent for the 1980s as a whole.     

Application of Bongaarts's fertility model in Poland

Bongaarts's fertility model is applied to 1977 fertility data for Poland. The results show that the most important proximate determinants of fertility are contraception and abortion. The author questions the validity of previous analyses of the determinants of Polish fertility undertaken by J. Bongaarts and T. Frejka using data for 1972.     

Regional conditions for differentiation of population reproduction in Poland

This study deals with differentials in gross fertility rates and rates of natural population growth by region in Poland. Two models are formulated with the above indicators as dependent variables and the following set of independent variables: population density, percent of nonagricultural population, housing conditions (number of persons per room), percent of population aged 20-29, percent of population aged 65 and over, percent of male population, percent of urban population, percent of population with high school and college education, percent of working women, and percent of married couples. The most significant variables were age 20-29, urban population, working women, sex ratio, and marital status.     

A population of 40 million in Poland in the year 2000

Poland's population is projected to reach 40 million by the year 2000. In connection with this, the author compares Poland's position among other nations in Europe in terms of population size. The analysis further concentrates on various characteristics of the population.     

Education of women and changes in the family model in Poland

Trends in women's education in Poland for the period 1960-1986 are reviewed, with a focus on the status of women and the allocation of women's time. The author concludes that the rapid changes in women's educational status that have occurred are not matched by equally rapid changes in family behavior.     

Changes in the geographical mobility of the population of Poland

Spatial mobility in Poland is analyzed for the period 1976-1989. The focus is on the decline in internal migration over time and its causes. The analysis includes migration between rural and urban areas as well as migration among voivodships. Factors affecting migration include changes in the age distribution; however, the authors conclude that changes in migration patterns are primarily due to socioeconomic factors, particularly the economic crises the country has faced in recent years.
