According to the preliminary results of the National Population and Housing Census 2021, the population of Poland was 38,179.800, down 0.9% compared to the results of the 2011 census. The number of women decreased by 187,800. (ie 0.9%), and men by 144,400. (i.e. 0.8%).
The preliminary results of the census indicate that in the period 2011-2021 there were significant changes in the structure of the population by economic age groups. The percentage of the pre-working age population decreased – from 18.7% in 2011 to 18.2% in 2021, and the percentage of the working age population – from 64.4% in 2011 to 60.0% in 2021
There was a greater decrease in the share of people of mobile working age in the total population (by 2.4 percentage points) than the share of people of non-mobile working age (by 2.0 percentage points). On the other hand, the share of the post-working age population clearly increased – from 16.9% to 21.8%, i.e. by almost 5 percentage points. This means that over a decade, more than 1.8 million people in the 60/65+ age group were added, and thus more than every 5th inhabitant of Poland is over 60 years old.
