More Children Coming Soon

507 Polish women between the ages of 30 and 59 were surveyed by the BCMM marketing firm. The study found that around 70% of respondents consider families with four or more children to be the future of Poland.

While 48% of the respondents opposed a pro-natal government policy, 43% considered families with four children to be the ideal size. Further, 72% of respondents rejected the idea that parents of families with four or more children are irresponsible, and 84% rejected the idea that such families should be marginalized. Only 37% of respondents believed that parents of large families fail to care for their children.

Recently the birth rate in Poland has been so low as to threaten a state of negative population growth when coupled with outward migration.

Recently the Polish PM at an EU Constitution Summit said Poland would have more voting power in the Union if it were not for the Nazi extermination of 6million Poles during WWII. He estimated Poland's population would be around 66 million rather than the present 38 million. 66 million would Put Poland 4th; behind Germany, France and the U.K.

Because the rest of Europe is near or at zero population growth - Polish families with 4 children on average would make Poland the largest populated country on the continent by the year 2040.
