The fertility rate is declining and the population is ageing in Europe. The latest projections from Eurostat show that the EU population is expected to fall by 11.7% between 2025 and 2100. The population will decline from 452 million to 399 million, a decrease of 53 million people by the start of the next century. This projection includes possible migration.
The projected population change across Europe varies widely. Some countries will have larger populations in 2100 compared to 2025, while many others will see declines.
