The Polish Government is preparing a programme to prevent the decline. Today if the assumptions do not change and married couples and the population in Poland are going to carry on until 2030 as has been assumed, the population is going to decline by 2.5 million. The situation will unfavourably affect the country’s development. It will cause a deterioration in the ratio of those in employment and those living from old-age and disability pensions. More children have to be born. The causes of the low birth rate are problems with employment and lack of housing. But the demographers hope that programme to be created will slow down or reverse the trends.
