Spatial Differentiation of Demographic Processes in Germany and Poland

Journal Title: Barometr Regionalny. Analizy i Prognozy - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of this article is to compare demographic processes in German federal states and Polish voivodships. The analysis covers the period between 2004–2015 and takes into account the data published by Eurostat, the Federal Statistical Office and Poland’s Central Statistical Office. The analysis shows that demographic processes in German Länder are more dependent on their level of development and geographic location than in Polish regions. In Germany, the major demographic problems are seen in the less developed eastern Länder, whereas in Poland, unfavorable demographic changes occur in several voivodships of varying levels of development, located in different parts of the country. According to the author, in the case of demographic processes, unlike economic processes, at present there is no justification for clear-cut division of Eastern Poland, akin to Eastern Germany.
