Polish Senior Citizens in 2025
The elderly population in Poland has been steadily increasing for almost twenty years. In 2005 people aged 60 or over accounted for 17.2% of the general population, by 2024 this was 26.6% and now Statistics Poland predict that by 2060 the proportion will be 38.3%. The dynamic pace of this change prompts reflection about aging populations and how older people function. This year, after a gap of almost a decade, CBOS has conducted two surveys, asking people aged 60+ how they spend their time and how they rate their health.
