    I thought that Italy and Germany would have higher population change considering immigration is such a controversial topicvin those countries.

  2. Looking at how Azerbaijan’s population increased by almost a half, whilst that of Armenia fell substantially, it’s not hard to see how the power balance between the two shifted between these two dates. That and Azerbaijan oil-fueled economic growth.

  3. In soviet occupied countries, how much of the population change is illegal colonisers moving back to Russia and how much is the change due people who had legal grounds to be there?

    So when the iron curtain came down in 1989 many in Eastern Europe took the opportunity to go to the western part for opportunity. If you took out the first 10 years after the break up of the Soviet satellite nations the movement is not so bad. Ukraine on the other hand …… mostly because of war.

  5. The collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe has brought an unprecedented demographic crisis in the affected countries. I’m from Bulgaria and our population has collapsed by 30% by now and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down

    I guess Israel’s population jumped after that big influx from the former Soviet countries and to the high birth rates from the more religious communities.

    Fake datas.
    Hungary 1990: 10,4 million / 2022: 9,5 million || -9% not -6,8% (official datas)

  8. Israel +104%. Lots of refugees from the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia and France (50k since 1995).

    C’est fou de se dire que la France est passée de 40 millions à (presque) 70 millions entre 1946 et 2026. Dans les années 80 c’était à peine 50 millions d”habitants.

    Buddy why’s Albania (number 1 country) not being depicted with a percentage change

  11. You will also notice a trend:
    Check GDP per capita. Where does the population in Europe go up the most?
    Ireland: 147k
    Norway 106k
    Switzerland 98k.
    High wages -> More people moving there.

    Baltics —> Soldiers left in numbers by 1993 and fully in 1995. Some also wanted to go back to where they were relocated from in the USSR, which used to relocate people.
    Balkans -> Yugoslav wars
    Overall -> Logical chart Globalism leads people to move into places with 2-5x the GDP and 2-5x the salary. You send money back home or fully move there.

    I highly doubt Russia is just -3%. Their dear leader loves to fudge numbers, and even Igor Girkin publicly doubted that there are more than 100M people living in that gas station of a country, which would make their drop in population comparable to that you see in Ukraine.

  13. All these in + are because of Muslim population.
    If it all stayed like before 1990 it would have been a big –

  14. The middle east is crazy even with all that conflict and issues countries like Iraq and Syria still jumped very high.

  15. Adept-Bandicoot1931 on

    So a few things to say,

    1. Turkey, Iran, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon ad Azerbaijan have already reached sub replacement fertility. Turkey and Tunisia are already basically in the “lowest low” category of 1.4 and under. The entire middle east except Israel, the TFR is crashing and I mean CRASHING by 2030 expect Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Palestinian territories, to have sub replacement fertility. Also possible: Iraq (but its only slowly declining and we have 4 years left in this decade)
    2. Already there are rapid declines in marriage, high boom in women never giving birth by 40, high growth in women never marrying in Islamic countries, there will be soon a high proportion of people over age 65, and by 2040 expect every country in this map except Israel, Iraq, Palestinian territories (possibly Egypt) to have natural population decline.
    3. Europe is already and will continue to decline. Not even the alleged mass migration is saving them. And no, white Christian babies returning to demographic dominancy is a social media fantasy.
    4. Why is Israel and Jews so exception. (Full Disclosure: I am a secular Jew from USA), we maybe objectively the country that stands out but there are a few factors:
    1. Consciously we desperately link fertility to our destiny as Jews must retain a majority in the Land of Israel (that includes West Bank and Golan Heights, i really don’t think we will ever touch Gaza again with settlements) that is as an existential threat as the Holocaust, the Iranian regime, radical Islam, global white supremacy.
    2. In Jewish culture even the MOST secular having marriage and children (gays included) is a milestone and means we will continue our culture.
    3. The tiny minority we are will be heavily focused in Israel in the future. The American jewish population, Europe, Latin America skews older and those that don’t migrate to Israel within a few generations assimilate and in our culture assimilation IS destruction. (not being dramatic we are a people/religion/culture).
    4. So if we were to exist at all we MUST MUST MUST make tons of babies and Israels and jews globally (despite what they think of Israel or Zionism) know this fully. If is one thing Jews don’t do is die out. Israel is one of the only modern states where **religious, cultural, and national narratives all reinforce child-bearing** rather than compete with it (holidays, schools, army service timing, tax benefits).

    Just my two cents. Love and respect for all.

    Russia really screwed up those proto-Scandinavian/Germanic nations that are Baltics. If not for Russian interference and backwardness they’d be thriving at level of Sweden, Finland, etc

  17. Now tankies will flock here to claim that it’s all because these countries abandoned communism. In reality, communism was a horrible economic system which systematically destroyed these economies and switching to capitalism was simply inevitable once the communist system naturally collapsed. The population decline was 100% caused by the failures of communism.

  18. Note that especially for Estonia and Latvia, the bulk of this population loss is many of the illegal Soviet colonists returning to Russia immediately after the end of the Soviet occupation. Estonians and Latvians are glad as fuck that so many of them left and sad that still so many stayed.

    The number of Latvians dropped 14.4% and the number of Estonians dropped 4.5% (although has been growing again in the past decade).
