So Few, So Many…

Abstract

Some selected demographic problems of the contemporary world were analysed in the paper. The Malthus’ theory was a starting point for the analysis. The reasons for the present po­pulation-rate and its growth on the continents were discussed together with the following is­sues: an analysis of individual countries accor­ding to the criterion of lifetime, the number of elderly people, the number of children aged 14­15, the number of children per woman and its correlation with the education level of women. The demographic situation of Poland was also presented - it was shown that our country occu­pies a position between developed and develo­ping countries. Some other problems included in the paper are: the stages of demographic transformation, ecological conditions and dynamic balance.
