The article presents changes in the rural age structures in Poland as observed in the years 1996, 2001 and 2006. The changes in population numbers are analysed with respect to age groups, the aging index and the old-age rate. Regarding its spatial scope, the article covers rural areas in Poland and the basic territorial units it uses are rural communes and the rural parts of mixed rural-urban communes that altogether amount to 2,171 units (as of 2006). The obtained results are discussed in a broader context of urban as well as countrywide age structures.

Borne Sulinowo is one of the settlements that were made over by the Russian army to the Polish side at the beginning of the 1990s. It is the only one that achieved the status of town and has become the most populous settlement left by the Russian army in Poland. For 20 years it has undergone many changes resulting from its reconversion and from an increase of its population. It is one of the very few towns in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship whose population has been growing since its beginning. There are several reasons for that, among them a very important one has been a plentiful supply of cheap flats. A problem that might appear in Borne Sulinowo is a steady process of aging of its population, which – in turn – is caused – inter alia – by an inflow of elderly people. As a result, the demographic structure of the town keeps changing, and its function might change too. During the holiday season Borne Sulinowo is visited by many tourists; in future it might affect the economic growth of the town and the structure of its population.

Early retirement is one of the elements of the EU’s rural development policy. It is a form of incentive for older farmers to pass on their farms to their children. The process of implementation of this action in Poland started in 2001 and has not been finished yet. The article describes the ways in which a farmer can receive early retirement pension and the conditions that have to be met. The information concerning the number of supported people and the Polish regions in which farmers benefit the most is presented. Today it is already known that the action will not be realized in the next financial perspective. Analyses show that it was not efficient under Polish conditions. We ought to consider “why”. We must look for a reason and try to find out whether it lies in the administration, the legislation or the people’s mentality. This way another, alternative action will be presented, the purpose of which is to change the negative situation in the European countryside.

In this article we discuss and analyse changes in the sex-age structure of both the urban and the rural population of the Republic of Kazakhstan since independence (1991) and until 2013. Spatial analysis by age and sex was carried out for the urban and rural population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article focuses on the population of Astana and Almaty as cities of “republican subordination”. The aim of this article is to study and analyse the sex-age structure of the total population taking the urban and rural population from 1991 to 2013 separately. For comparison and analysis of statistical data in the dynamics, the data by sex and age of the urban and rural population for 1991, 2001 and 2011 were examined. Thus changes over 10 years are considered. The age groups for which the data were collected were based on differentiation of the population by economic status: pre-working (0-14 years), working (15-64), and post-working age (over 65 years).

The article shows in a synthetic way the problems of unemployment in the ten states that newly accessed the EU in 2004. Special attention was paid to long-term unemployment. The period of time from 2000 to 2011, that was selected for the purpose of the analysis, includes the years that directly preceded and directly followed accession to the EU. This was to show the possible changes in intensity of this phenomenon in the selected countries.

The article presents changes of Lithuanian population after the restoration of state self-dependence and future prognoses. The article is based on the data at the Statistical Department of the Republic of Lithuania. There are brief analysis of the principal demographic indices: natural movement of population and migration flows. The analysis embraces the years before and after restoration of independence and future perspectives. The results of analysis was showed that the negative natural increment and migration balance have adversely affected other demographic indices: age structure, lifespan, number of marriages, deaths due to external causes, etc.

One of the characteristic features of the modern world is the dynamics of demographic changes. Depending on their nature and intensity, they can be a driving force behind socio-economic development or doom it to stagnation or regression. There is no doubt, however, that a declining demographic potential, especially unfavourable changes in the age structure of the population (an ageing society), may contribute to economic difficulties in the given area, often leading to social problems. The aim of the research the results of which are presented in this article was to analyse regional differences in the age structure of Poland’s population in two time intervals, viz. the years 1999 and 2010, using multivariate techniques, and more specifically, principal components analysis and cluster analysis. They both make it possible to accommodate many features of the population age structure simultaneously, thus better illustrating the two situations (the years 1999 and 2010) and changes that took place in between, than univariate approaches

Celem artykułu jest omówienie i ocena, na tle wybranych zagadnień z teorii demografii miast wobec zrównoważonego rozwoju, zmian liczby ludności w dolnośląskich miastach oraz wskazanie możliwych ścieżek rozwoju dla poszczególnych kategorii miast. Przedmiotem badań są wszystkie dolnośląskie miasta. Okres badawczy to lata 2000-2020. Miasta są analizowane w podziale na małe, średnie i duże oraz pod względem wybranych ich specyficznych cech związanych w znacznym stopniu z lokalizacją. W artykule zastosowano metodę opisową, proste metody statystyczne, analizę porównawczą oraz metodę ekspercką. Ta ostatnia polegała na zaproponowaniu podziału miast na kategorie pod względem zmian demograficznych oraz zaproponowaniu ścieżek rozwoju zrównoważonego dla poszczególnych kategorii miast. Wyniki badania pokazują, że populacja dolnośląskich miast jako grupy się starzeje, niezależnie od ich wielkości. Natomiast szczegółowa analiza przypadków wykazała, że była dość liczna grupa miast (przede wszystkim małych), w których liczba ludności rosła i które mają potencjał wzrostowy.

The article discusses and evaluates, against the background of selected issues in the theory of urban demography concerning sustainable development, changes in the number of inhabitants in Lower Silesian cities, and to indicate possible development paths for individual categories of cities. All Lower Silesian cities are the subject of the study. The research covered the period 2000-2020. The cities are categorised into small, medium, and large, and their specific characteristics are primarily related to their location. The article uses a descriptive method, simple statistical methods, comparative analysis, and an expert method. The latter proposed the division of cities into categories in terms of demographic changes and sustainable development paths for individual city categories. The results show that Lower Silesian cities (as a group) are ageing, regardless of their size, yet a detailed case study indicated a relatively large group of cities (mainly small) with a growing population and growth potential.

In research on social capital, one can observe numerous factors which, on the one hand, condition the creation of social capital assets and, on the other, the occurrence of specific types of these assets. One of the factors which influence significantly the dominance of one type of social capital over others in a given community can be linked to the age structure characteristic of such community. A generation change, combined with the change of the social context, entails transformation in the sphere of values which, in turn, has substantial impact on the behaviour of and actions undertaken by the members of such community. The current article offers an analysis of the transformation of social capital in Poland under the influence of the generation change. The analysis is based on the comparison of two generations of Poles growing up in socially, politically and economically disparate periods.

W badaniach prowadzonych nad kapitałem społecznym wskazuje się na wiele czynników warunkujących z jednej strony powstawanie zasobów kapitału społecznego, z drugiej strony występowanie określonych typów tego zasobu. Istotny wpływ na dominację jednego typu kapitału społecznego w określonej społeczności ma charakterystyczna dla niej struktura wieku. Zmiana pokoleniowa w połączeniu ze zmianą kontekstu społecznego powoduje przemiany w sferze wartości, to z kolei w istotny sposób wpływa na zachowania i podejmowane działania przez członków tejże społeczności. Prezentowany artykuł przedstawia analizę przemiany kapitału społecznego w Polsce pod wpływem zmiany pokoleniowej. Analiza opiera się na porównaniu dwóch pokoleń Polaków wzrastających w odmiennych społecznie, politycznie i gospodarczo okresach.

The Biała Podlaska poviat was almost at the geographical centre of the interwarperiod Second Polish Republic (1918–1939). However, its peripheral position in relation to other Districts of central voivodships resulted in a number of events and processes that were taking place at that time having a slightly different outmode in its territory. The article attempts to present selected aspects of the demographic structure to confront the extent to which the field of interest diverges from the neighbouring areas. Besides a determination of the population of the district, its structure was analysed in terms of age, gender, level of urbanization and structure of employment. Particularly valuable information was obtained through confrontation of data from the 1921 and 1931 censuses in terms of changes taking place among employment in fundamental branches of the economy. The period was also important for the urban population, which is one of the determinants of the level of modernity of society. Presentation of population growth the county and its characteristics in terms of age and gender provided information on the demographic potential of the analysed area. The analysis provided a number of interesting data sets, somewhat corroborating the varied character of the Biała Podlaska district. The information can be used for further research on the history of the district.

Powiat bialski w okresie międzywojennym znalazł się niemalże w centrum II Rzeczypospolitej. Jego peryferyjne położenie w stosunku do innych powiatów województw centralnych spowodowało jednak, że szereg wydarzeń i procesów, które zachodziły w tym czasie, miało na jego terenie nieco inny przebieg. W artykule podjęto próbę przedstawienia wybranych aspektów struktury demograficznej, aby skonfrontować, czy również na tym polu powiat bialski odbiega od obszarów z nim sąsiadujących. Poza określeniem liczebności populacji powiatu przeprowadzono analizę jej struktury wiekowej, podziału względem płci, poziomu urbanizacji oraz struktury zatrudnienia. Szczególnie wartościowe informacje uzyskano poprzez konfrontacje danych ze spisów powszechnych z 1921 r. i 1931 r. w zakresie zmian zachodzących wśród pracujących w podstawowych działach gospodarki. Istotne znaczenie miało także określenie liczebności mieszkańców miast, co jest jednym z wyznaczników poziomu nowoczesności społeczeństwa. Przedstawienie wzrostu liczby ludności powiatu oraz jej charakterystyka pod względem wieku i płci dostarczyły informacji o potencjale demograficznym wspomnianego obszaru. Ich analiza potwierdza nieco odmienny charakter powiatu bialskiego. Informacje mogą zostać wykorzystane do dalszych badań nad dziejami powiatu.
