Europe is experiencing a demographic crisis due to the following factors ¹ ² ³:
- Low fertility rates: Most European countries have a fertility rate below 2.1 children per woman, which is the replacement level needed to ensure a stable population.
- Aging population: The population of Europe is aging, and the number of people aged 65 and over is increasing.
- Migration patterns: Many European countries are experiencing negative net migration, with more people leaving than entering the country.
- Decline in the number of children and working-age people: The share of children and young people below 20, and those of working age, will decline in the coming years.
- High death rates: Deaths outnumber births in many European countries.
