O hartă realizată de VisualCapitalist, bazată pe datele ONU, arată că majoritatea țărilor europene vor înregistra un declin demografic semnificativ.
Romania's population is projected to decline by over 8 million by 2100, according to a UN report, reflecting a broader European trend of population decline due to low birth rates. Eastern European countries, including Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Russia, and Ukraine, are among the most affected. In contrast, only a few European countries, such as the UK, France, Switzerland, Monaco, and Liechtenstein, are expected to see population growth. Romania faces challenges with over 1.7 million people retiring in the next 15 years, straining the pension budget. An economist suggests fiscal measures to encourage higher birth rates.
