Just take a look to contemporary eastern Germany:

Besides of the joke - we (and you) will get a real problem. Catholic Poland has a lower fertility rate than "godless" Germany. A average Polish woman has only 1.25 kids (Germany: 1.39). It seems that your girls failed to read the famous "Humanae Vitae" encyclical written by Pope Paul VI. :-(

If many young and educated Poles leave the country now they will be missing sooner or later. Since your population is obviously aging in a frightening way, they are needed in the near future to pay pensions, taxes and to run the country. It is the same structural problem we have in (espechially in eastern) Germany.

The bitter facts:

It is better to face such problems than to play them down.

Andrew, sorry for not very sophisticated reaction to your previous post, but I didn't have much time and "empty steppe" really made me laugh.

Seriously demography in Poland is working in WW2 cycles and there's millions of 20-30 years old people in Poland (that's why median age is still one of the lowest in Europe, although current birth rate is one of the lowest too), who usually yet don't have children at all - that's because economical problems(and Poles don't like 3rd world style breeding with half naked kids running around the house), mainly unemployment, which thanks to simple demography is going to be solved even without very impressive growth (and even with twins in power growth is going to be ~5% in the next years), the other thing is change in the lifestyle, which makes having children before you are 30yo very difficult. Without these problems, which is only a matter of time (and the only question is "the second Ireland" or "the second Greece" - even the latter one is not so bad) the birth rate (in longer term, not in the middle of a cycle) should be close to replacement level and the rest can be filled with immigrants, not necessarily from Pakistan.

"they are needed in the near future to pay pensions, taxes and to run the country."

If you didn't notice we have still 16% unemployment rate, so how these people, sitting jobless here would be "better for Poland" ? Now instead of that they are pumping the cash back to the country, something like $7 billion in last year. Sure, If the situation is not going to be improved within the next 6-8 years, we will have a serious problem, but without WW3 that's rather impossible, even twins can't screw that so much.

BTW In a year my contract in current job ends and probably I will take advantage of the open markets in EU, for 2 or 3 years. Now ping vox, he will probably call me a traitor, should be funny to read his BS.

That picture looks more like Kazakstan than E. Germany. Right click, then properties
