🇪🇺 EUROPE IS SHRINKING - MORE PEOPLE DYING THAN BEING BORN
In 2023, just 4.09m babies were born in the EU, while 5.35m people died - that’s 1.26m more deaths than births in a single year.
Back in the 1960s, Europe had over 7m births a year, but that number has been sliding ever since.
Meanwhile, deaths have steadily risen as the population ages.
The result? A record-low fertility rate of 1.46 children per woman, far below the 2.1 needed to keep the population stable.
Experts warn Europe is becoming one of the most child-unfriendly regions on Earth, with fewer kids, more elderly, and a shrinking workforce.
At this rate, the only boom left is in retirement homes.
