Population
After the Second World War, Poland had a population of 23.6 million in today’s borders, the losses from the war are estimated at 6 million. The cession of eastern Poland to the Soviet Union and the takeover of the German eastern territories triggered large resettlements and internal migrations. Most of the Germans fled or were expelled (around 7 million between 1945 and 1950). Poles and Ukrainians, mostly from eastern Poland, were settled in the former German areas. The Germans who remained in Poland after the war (Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia, Pomerania, Danzig, southern East Prussia) form the largest national minority (Polish Germans) with 125,000 to 240,000. Other national minorities are Ukrainians, Belarusians, Slovaks, Russians, Lithuanians, Roma,Lemks and Tatars. In 2018, 0.9% (325,200) of the total population were foreign nationals, almost half of whom are from Ukraine. The number of refugees and asylum seekers was only 12,200 at the end of 2017.

From 1948 to the 1980s, Poland was characterized by high population growth, which was mainly due to the strong birth rate. Since the mid-1990s, the natural population development has stagnated or is regressive, ie there are more deaths than births. The proportion of the urban population is 60% (2018). With an average population density of 124 residents / km 2 (2018), Poland is one of the more densely populated areas in Europe; however, there are large regional differences.
The capital region, Upper Silesia and the areas around Krakow, Lodz and Gdansk are most densely populated, while the northeast, Eastern Pomerania and the lowlands east of the Oder and Neisse are least populated.
Poland has been one of the most important emigration countries in Europe since the 18th century. Today 15-18 million Poles live outside the borders of Poland, mainly in the USA and Canada, in Western European and South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil. There are also Polish minorities in the neighboring Eastern European countries, especially in Belarus, Lithuania and the Ukraine.
Religion
The constitution (Article 53) guarantees religious freedom and defines the principle of cooperation as the basis of the relationship between the state and the religious communities with mutual respect for the respective independence (Article 25). All state-registered religious communities are legally equal. Relations between the state and the Roman Catholic Church are based on the Concordat concluded in 1993 and entered into force in 1998. A comparable law has existed since 1991 for relations with the Orthodox Church.
About 88% of the population are Christians: Almost 86% belong to the Catholic Church (including minority Catholics of the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite), about 2% to other Christian churches (Orthodox, Old Catholics, Lutherans, Adventists, Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, Reformed among others). In addition to the common language, Catholicism is the unifying bond of the Polish nation. The second largest religious community is the Polish Orthodox Church (1.3% of the population). It belongs to the Polish Ecumenical Council founded in 1946, together with six other minority churches: the Lutheran Evangelical-Augsburg Church in the Republic of Poland (0.16% of the population, mainly in the area around Teschen), the Old Catholic Church of Mariawiten (0.06% of the population), the Old Catholic Polish Catholic Church in Poland (0.05% of the population), the Polish Baptist Union, the Evangelical Methodist Church and the Evangelical Reformed Church. There are also Pentecostals (0.06% of the population), Orthodox Old Believers (Pomorzy without priests), Adventists and some free Protestant congregations.
