The aim of this article is to analyse long-term trends in nuptiality, fertility and reproduction in Poland in the years 1948-94, and to assess the situation in the mid-1990s. The period under consideration depends on the availability of comparable data. This article has made use of information elaborated and published by Kedelski (1995) covering the time period in question. This kind of information is rather unusual since traditionally fertility and reproduction refer only to the female population. Using Kedelski's data, we are able to describe these processes separately for both males and females. With this aim in mind, the following characteristics by age and gender have been taken into account: - nuptiality: first marriage patterns, total nuptiality rates, - fertility and reproduction: marital and general fertility patterns, marital fertility rates, gross and net reproduction rates. Referring to an intrinsic rate of natural increase, this article is able to demonstrate the consequences of fertility decline. (fragment of original text)
