The similarity of procreation behaviours in urban and rural areas of Poland in 1990-2009

Abstract

Changes in procreation behaviours observable both in urban and rural areas since the early 1990s may result in the diminishing difference between these areas in terms of the intensity of fertility rate and the pattern of fertility. The aim of the article is to describe the changes that took place in 1990-2009 and to determine their direction and intensity. Additionally, the author of the article tries to identify these regions of Poland where the process of changes was the fastest and the occurring changes were similar.
