Fertility Rate Trends in Poland from 1990 to 2022

Poland's fertility rate dropped significantly from 2.1 in 1990 to 1.3 by the early 2000s, a trend linked to post-communist economic transitions. During this time, uncertainties around employment and shifting social policies likely led to delayed family planning.

While the rate slightly rebounded to 1.5 in the mid-2010s, efforts to sustain growth were insufficient to counteract long-term demographic challenges. Policies aimed at encouraging larger families have had limited success, with economic and cultural factors continuing to influence fertility decisions.
