Geez what’s wrong with Bulgaria? Such beautiful country, good climate, mountains, sea, no russia on the borders. How it has worse evaluation?

Western Europe is also experiencing a decline in its native population.
In the Netherlands, for example, deaths far outnumber births each year, yet the population still grows rapidly. Anyone dare to explain why?

Question: where are all those people going. San Marino? I think we are talking about a lot of people. Or perhaps such decline is caused by the excess of births after WW2 …so we are just talking about older people leaving planer earth?

Funny to see Portugal there while at the same time it’s up there on the top in rise of housing costs.
Looks like there’s both a tremendous demand for housing and a decreasing demand for housing at the same time.

The Baltics should be talked about more in the depopulation discourse. Sure it’s bad in Japan, Korea, Ukraine, etc., but this kind of a cliff when you are only have 2-3million people is crazy.

Interesting that Bulgaria is nr. 1 when they have a reproduction rate around 1,8 which is surely one of the best numbers in Europe and maybe even in the whole developed world…

Nooo, not the Estonian baddies 🙁 Is a world without Estonian women really worth living in?

Oh no, an estimated 10% population decline, we must import 600 billion people.

For Poland isn’t its alleged economic rise enough to turn this around considerably? Or aren’t people seeing enough of this economic rise and it’s mostly the top companies etc? Shouldn’t this also bring migrants from its neighbours who aren’t doing as well?

Why are Baltic States populations declining ?

Freedom of movement will be seen as something that was catastrophic for large parts of Europe. Both ways. Sky high cost of living in certain areas. Depopulation, brain drain and societal destruction in others.

Will not happen in Portugal. Population has been increasing for the past half decade due to immigration. It’s barely increasing because the educated youth is escaping almost at the same pace as other people are entering the country. But 11% collapse is unlikely unless something changes.

Crazy that Ukraine is in the midst of suffering through a genocidal invasion, yet their decline isn’t the harshest
Ill_Nobody_2726 on
In comparison here in Switzerland, population is likely gonna grow by 10%-20% in that timeframe but yeah who could have guessed that freedom of movement would lead to population moving from poorer regions to richer regions ? Totally unpredictable outcome.

There’s no way Montenegro isn’t similar to Serbia and Kosovo is already experiencing massive population decline

These are countries that have low immigration, right?
Party-Benefit5112 on
Outdated data. With current migration levels the decline for eastern EU countries will be much slower. Some like Estonia might not even decline at all. Also, Portugal has grown by like 500k since 2020. At this rate it might have one of the highest growth rates in Europe by 2050 not a decline.

I’d rather Spain lose population than have this massive immigration crisis.

In 1991, Bulgaria had 10 million inhabitants, today it is barely 6 million. What happened?

And this is only because of low birth. Migration doesn’t really matter.
GRIM106 on
With Ukraine actively fighting a war of attrition Bulgaria and Lithuania still somehow managed to lose people faster.
roctac on
Data extrapolating from trend lines that are outdated. Bulgaria’s population is stabilizing and maybe increasing next year.
StudySpecial on
Ah yes, projecting current migration trends 30 years into the future will certainly be accurate.

And guess what… Housing will still be wildly unaffordable.

Portugal is once again honorary Balkans.
