In 2023, women in Poland accounted for nearly 51.7 percent of the total population, while men accounted for 48 percent. The population in Poland in 2023 totaled 37.6 million people. Population of Poland in different fields In 2023, the population of Poland was over 37.6 million, the majority of who were living in urban areas. The diagram shows that the number of people of post-working age is steadily increasing and the number of children aged zero to two is decreasing. Moreover, the number of young people between 15 and 24 is steadily declining. In 2022, there were 3.7 million young people, a decrease of nearly three million from 2002. On the other hand, most of Poland’s population lived in urban areas. Death rate in Poland The mortality rate in Poland in 2021 amounted to a record 13.7 deaths per thousand population, marking an increase compared to the previous year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The death rate in the country was historically higher among the rural population. More than 11 deaths per 1,000 population were recorded in cities of Poland in 2023. In the countryside, the mortality rate amounted to 10 deaths per 1,000 people in the same year. In both types of areas, the death rates increased compared to the previous year. On the other hand, cardiovascular disease was the most common cause of death in 2022. Due to this disease, the death rate was 426 people per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease from the previous year.

This statistic shows the total population of men and women in Poland from 1900 until 2020. When this graph begins in 1900, Poland was not a united and independent country, and was split between the Austro-Hungarian, German and Russian empires. Poland eventually became a state in 1918, after the events of the First World War, however it's borders were further to the east than they are today. This statistic shows the populations of Poland within todays borders, and from it we can see that the population of men and women were relatively similar at 12.5 and 12.6 million respectively. In the inter-war years the difference in the number of men and women grew as a result of the First World War and the subsequent conflict to the east, where there were approximately 0.9 million more women.

The next entries in the graph come in 1946, where Poland's population falls to 23.9 million. The number of men falls by almost 5 million and the number of women falls by over 3.5 million. Poland was one of the most devastated countries during the Second World War, due to it's location it was the staging ground for much of the violence during Germany's war against Russia, and the civilian population was devastated during both occupations. With up to 5.8 million total deaths, approximately 17 percent of the total Polish population died during the Second World War, which is a higher proportion than any other country involved in the war.

After the war, Poland's population grew from 1946 onwards until the turn of the century, the difference in the number of men and women remained at around one million people, and the total population exceeded its pre-war levels in the late 1960s. Like many other Eastern European countries, with the fall of the iron curtain in the early 1990s, the population had greater freedom of movement and growth began to slow. By 2000 the population growth was declining, the number of men was and women were at 18.7 and 19.4 million respectively, and both populations then fell by 2015, with the number of men declining at a slightly faster rate than the number of women.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Poland. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Poland, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $56,890 for males and $42,042 for females.

These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 26% between the median incomes of males and females in Poland. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 74 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thevillage of Poland.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Poland, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $78,534, while females earned $67,778, resulting in a 14% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 86 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time positions. While this gap shows a trend where women are inching closer to wage parity with men, it also exhibits a noticeable income difference for women working full-time in the village of Poland.

Interestingly, when analyzing income across all roles, including non-full-time employment, the gender pay gap percentage was higher for women compared to men. It appears that full-time employment presents a more favorable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Poland.
