Countries in Europe that will grow in population – against the general trend – revealed

According to demographic analyses published in European media, only a limited number of countries will continue to grow, mainly thanks to migration and a younger population structure.

While most European countries are facing population decline and demographic aging, some countries are bucking this trend and are expected to record growth in the coming years.

According to demographic analyses published in European media, only a limited number of countries will continue to grow, mainly thanks to migration and a younger population structure.

In fact, across Europe, only about a third of countries are expected to see growth, while most will face a decline in population, The Local writes, reports albinfo.ch.

The countries expected to see growth are mainly in Western and Northern Europe, including countries like Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta and in some cases larger countries like France and the United Kingdom. These countries benefit from migration flows and more stable economies, which attract workers from abroad.

Meanwhile, much of Eastern and Southern Europe is facing a steady decline in population, due to low birth rates and high emigration. This contrast between regions has become increasingly pronounced in recent years.

Experts point out that the growth in these countries does not come from births, but mainly from migration. In fact, in many European countries the number of deaths now exceeds births, making migration a key factor in maintaining or increasing the population.

However, even this growth is considered fragile. Long-term projections show that, despite some exceptions, the population of the European Union is expected to decline significantly by the end of the century.
