Summary/Abstract: This article describes a case study which aim was to verify a hypothesis of the influence of registered unemployment rate on fertility rate in Polish cities of 100 thousand and more inhabitants in the years 2000-2010. The dependent variable is the fertility of women expressed by Total Fertility Rate (TFR). The independent variable is the registered unemployment rate in the researched cities. The time scope of the case study is in the years 2000-2010. The geographical scope includes all Polish cities of 100 thousand and more inhabitants where throughout the whole research period the number of citizens remained at the given level. The case study uses a regression and correlation analysis, by creating linear and multinomial models of the fertility rate. The conducted analysis confirmed a correlation between the variables, especially the ones of a negative linear function.
