The suburban zone of Warsaw is characterized by high density of population caused by increasing attractiveness of Warsaw as the place of location of housing, industrial and service functions. High population density is also enhanced by the development of intensive agriculture (horticultural production, including especially protected crops), requiring high inputs of labour into one unit of land. Specificities of demographic relations in the suburban zone of Warsaw are also reflected in its population structure, characterized by high indices of: feminization, ageing and (broadly conceived) service employment, and in its population dynamics, characterized by low natural increase, positive net migration and the specific form of migration, i.e. job commuting.
