Let's make this clear: Spanish population only grows because of immigration. We have one of the lowest birth rates in the world (see https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/birth-rate-by-country), but allowing immigration has somewhat contained our population decline. Without immigration, our pension and health systems would be unsustainable, unable to cater an aging population. So we have immigration to thank for what you see in that image. Countries with low birth rates and low immigration (like Japan) are actually doomed.
That seems to suggest that relying on immigration to support a population is not a sustainable system.
Now do one without immigration. Is there even an EU country that has bigger birth rates than it did in 1990?
Which is just another reason why the aversion to immigration on display by such large parts of EU society at the moment is just so freaking dumb and counterproductive.
I agree with you, but you can't just change the demographic makeup of any territory without some resistance from the native population. Push back is to be expected. You can tell Europeans "your people will go extinct without this", the rational response would be to accept it, but people aren't always rational.
what happened in turkey? how did they increase so heavily? didn't large amounts of their population move to central europe in that same timeframe?
Larger amounts of Syria fled to Turkey.
Since 2006 it is about migration to and from Germany is about equal. A lot of Turks moved back to Turkey as the economy grew and well with a German pension Turkey is a great place to live, especially when you speak the langauge and have family there.
Other then that the Turkey has natural population growth and Syrians and other migrants moving to Turkey.
Turkey has brain drain. The educated people are moving away. Those are usually the ones with smaller families.
Ukraine pre or post invasion? So what point of 2022?
Woah. Luxembourg is BLOWIN’ UP!
Yeah, there are now a total of 20 people living there except the 6 from before.
It wanted to stop Belgium from having all the fun.
Ireland is interesting here. I don’t believe they have as many people immigrating to them as other countries, which indicates this is mostly people not leaving as was widespread until the 00’s.
It’s a combination of immigration and returning emigrants.
You mean people don't want to live in wartorn and just plain shitty countries and flee to more progressive and human right focused countries. Weird. And now those shitty countries just get shittier because those that could leave did and they are usually the healthy/smart people.
Norway had a birth number of 1.41 in 2022. We are absolutely dependent on immigration to uphold our society.
We have our flaws as well, but we're not a shitty country
According to this map Cyprus and part of Azerbaijan belongs to Turkey. Congratulations, you just started WW3.
And Ireland, and Island, and Norway.
Color is determined by value, not countryNo this map counts cyprus as its own area and thats a pretty progressive thing actually.
