Fertility, mortality and migration rates were taken into account, and estimates show that only a few European countries will then have more residents than today.
The prediction for Bosnia and Herzegovina is especially worrying. Our country provides for a drop in the population of as much as 56%, which is one of the largest falls throughout the list.
Croatia is also among demographically the most vulnerable states, with the planned fall of the population of 44% by the end of the century. A similar loss is envisaged for neighboring Serbia (-45%), while Montenegro loses 38%.
The decline in the population is also expected in Slovenia (-23%), northern Macedonia (-48%), Kosovo (-48%) and Albania, which is with -57% the only “worse” of BiH from the surrounding countries.
The largest decline is envisaged in Eastern Europe, with Ukraine loses as much as 61% of the population. Following Moldova (-50%), Lithuania (-57%), Latvia (-50%), Poland (-49%) …
Projected that at the end of the century, Luxembourg’s population grows by 10%, and Swedish and Great Britain for 7%. The growth of the population is also expected in France (+ 3%) and Switzerland (+ 2%), while in the Republic of Ireland, it should remain approximately equal to today’s figures.
