Demography in Poland #1 I've read a few reports about demography in Poland recently. All of them forecast that the situation in Poland will be getting worse and worse. Even now the number of deaths exceeds the number of births. And the difference will be rising. In 10 years from now it can be 100 000 more deaths than births yearly. The society is getting older and the ratio of working to nonworking people is decreasing. The pensions will be lower and lower and the income taxes will be higher and higher. People in all walks of life will be touched by the demographic problem.
