Interesting to see the shrinking populations around the world. I wonder if these countries have signed up for Agenda21 Zero population growth by 2050. Some countries it seems have already reached that status. Bulgaria’s population has shrunk by 582,000 people in the past 10 years to 7.3m. The Baltic states have also witnessed extensive emigration. Many countries fall well short of the total fertility rate (of 2.1 children that women need to bear to hold the population constant in the absence of net migration. The total fertility rate in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia fell more than 30% between 1990 and 2011. Hungary had a rate of just 1.2 live births per woman in 2011, with Poland and Romania at 1.3 — considered by demographers to be the danger level. irishexaminer/business/ageing-population-a-ticking-timebomb-for-eu-238738.html
