Znaczenie przyrostu naturalnego i salda migracji w rozwoju ludności Szczecina w latach 1946–2019
The roles of the rate of natural increase and the net migration rate on the population growth of Szczecin, 1946–2019

Summary/Abstract: The subject of research is the population of Szczecin and the changes it underwent in the years 1946-2019 as a result of natural increase and migration. The article aims to demonstrate the importance of natural increase and migration in each year by sub-period in the real population growth of Szczecin. As a result of the demographic processes taking place, the population of Szczecin increased by 331,600 in the period under review, of which natural increase contributed 47.6% to the growth. The population of Szczecin increased until 1994. From 1995, the city was characterized by natural population loss, which exceeded the positive balance of migration. As a result of these processes, the city’s population declined. The declining natural increase and declining positive migration balance contributed to an accelerated ageing of the population. The share of people aged 60+ increased from 3.8% in 1950 to 18.3% in 2002 and to 35.6% in 2019. Thus, dynamic population growth was followed by slow growth, which has turned into decline since 1995.
