Over 38 million people currently live in Poland, which is very homogeneous ethnically: 97.8% of people residing in Poland declare that they speak Polish at home and 96.7% claim Polish nationality. This homogeneity is a result of the radically altered borders after the World War II, the subsequent migrations, ethnic cleansing of the German population, and deportations ordered by the Soviet authorities, who wished to remove the sizable Polish minorities from Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine and deportations of Ukrainians from Poland.

There are 56 million people of Polish descent in the world.
