If 2026 rates held for a lifetime, a woman in Poland would have about 1.31 children, below the 2.1 needed to sustain the population. Over the preceding five years it has held broadly steady. About 283 thousand babies are born a year, a crude birth rate of 7.5 per 1,000. Its net reproduction rate sits at 0.63, well below the 1.0 that marks generational replacement. Women are having children later in life, at a mean age of 30.1 years, up from 26.5 in 1980. By 2100, projections see it reaching 1.49 children per woman.
