Polish population review最新文献

"The paper briefly discusses the course of the basic demographic phenomena and processes in Poland, and the factors that determine the changes.... A detailed analysis [is provided] of the size and variability of fertility, mortality and migrations.... The method of calculating particular forecast components is presented, as well as results of calculations of the...number and structure of population and of the forecast of the vital statistics and migrations of population."

"The forecast of Poland's population to the year 2020 was developed in two stages. The paper briefly discusses the basic assumptions of the demographic forecast...." Aspects considered include fertility, mortality, and migration. The impact of economic conditions and changes in the labor market are considered.

The author analyzes trends in premature mortality in Poland from 1960 to 1995. "Over the last 35 years the percentage of premature deaths in Poland decreased systematically: from 55.5% to 33.2%.... The intensity of deaths among males over 30 [has increased rapidly]; during the same period the intensity of deaths among females was relatively stable, with a slight downward tendency."

"In this paper an evaluation has been made using the semi-parametric analysis and life table method of changes in the process of formation and dissolution of families in Poland, and changes in fertility careers by cohorts. An answer was sought to the following questions: What are the factors significantly determining the process studied? What differences appear between cohorts?"

"The paper deals with the changes in the number and structure of population of working age in Poland and by voivodeships to the year 2020 as presented by the most current demographic forecast of the Central Statistical Office. The period 1995-2020 is going to be characterised, in its first stage, by a serious increase in the number of population of working age and then, after the year 2010, the size of this group will considerably contract.... The changes flagged will vary geographically."

The author attempts to answer the question, "Are the numbers of households [in Poland] with specific numbers of supported children (structures) in the total number of households similar or dissimilar in all voivodeships, and where [are these] identical (similar) or dramatically different?" Results indicate that "the most differentiated voivodeships, in terms of the number of children below 24 years of age supported by households, were voivodeships of north-eastern and south-eastern Poland. In the case of male heads of households the number of voivodeships making up areas of the highest differentiation regarding the number of children below 24 years is definitely bigger than for the female heads of households."

"The article presents an attempt to make a quantitative evaluation of the impact of the environment on the rate of mortality, focusing on the group of stress-bearing factors that, according to some hypotheses, make up the set of potential, indirect determinants in the process of mortality. According to these opinions, the environment can be a source of different forms of stress. One stressor can be the social and economic status of individuals, being the function of the economic development of the region, another the instability of the social situation in the region. Both types of stress sources seem to be particularly adequate in the evaluation of the impact of this type of factor on the process of mortality in Poland in the period of system transformation."
