Demographic changes are nowadays one of the biggest challenges facing developing societies and although they are mainly the result of processes that have been taking place for many years, their effects – both economic and social – are beginning to be felt now. Observed trends in the field of factors affecting the size and structure of the population, such as: decrease in fertility, increase in life expectancy, creation and breakdown of families, movement of population, determine the labour market, education, health care, and also affect the nature of consumption or the social insurance market. It can be concluded that, along with the progressing demographic changes, the areas of social and economic life that they condition will expand.

Due to the significant role of statistics in supporting the activities of all entities to alleviate the negative effects of demographic changes in Mazovia, the Statistical Office in Warszawa prepared the publication “Demographic situation of Mazowieckie Voivodship in 2019”, which is a continuation of the publication “Population, vital statistics and migration in Mazowieckie Voivodship” published for 18 years and enjoying a great interest of a wide audience.
