Didn't know we are already in 2050. Croatia has 3 800 000 population according to last 2021 counting.

Bruh, that is just our overlord Plenković increasing the GDP per capita. Less people and more GDP - very nice. You should be grateful for such thoughtful economic policies.

Not just will have, but already have. Estonia for example had positive migration balance since 2015. About 2-4k migrants each year, which helped our population to grow by 15k since 2015.

This map uses outdated projections. The German one is in line with the 2006 projection of the German Federal Statistical Office. Whose numbers for 2022 are already off by 4 million because of an increase in fertility and migration (and migrated women having more children).

In similar vein to Estonia, Germany's most recent projection is between 77.4 and 84.4 million for 2050. The more optimistic outlooks actually seeing an increase in population.

And people talking about overpopulation. The real problem developed contries will have is the rising part of elderly and a decreasing birth rate. Thats a cause of real concern for the future!

71
level 2

Population is imo one part of the problem. Another is consumption habits of that population. Overpopulation then means we have too much people consuming too much.

In very simple form, there's two options. Less people could consume as before for more balanced ecological situation OR more people could populate our planet but they need to consume less.

Of course technological changes change this balance all the time.

Overpopulation is enough people to consume too much. In theory it could be one person if that supermuncher should consume too much resources.

Just because overpopulation isn't an issue here doesn't mean it's not an issue elsewhere

What's the justification to assume this nearly 1/4 loss of population???

Just to point it out, Slovenia has population growth right now... so what do they anticipate will change so drastically?!

These are projections from 2017, projections change tho, as every year there are different % of growth. Slovenia may have seen a decline in 2017 wich is why this projection is so drastic.

Yeah, no. We may decrease slower but we will decrease.

  1. Supporting three kids is nice, but tons of couples don't even have the first kid or way too late. Helping with the first kid and then the second/third is a lot more effective than expecting three at once. It would be also more beneficial to establish the majority having 1-2 kids than a few families having three.

  2. Free house and free car money, sure. The property and car markets are so propped up by free loans that your free money is useless in a few months. I mean, since COVID dropped property prices skyrocketed and in the last year even used cars got 30-40% more expensive. Supporting the demand side in this case is a big no-no in economics, they should support supply by establishing cheap and quality government housing. Not to mention 10%+ inflation.

  3. The government does nothing against brain drain. Tons of young people still leave the country who have higher education. Simply the Hungarian wages and jobs are just not cutting it. And these are the people who could establish new companies, bring in innovation and added value sectors. Ofc fidesz is not interested in that, just drop more kids to work as serfs.

Holy shit, inflation will be crazy in Hungary for a long time with initiatives like that. I would leave this country at once if I wouldn't had any children becouse its need be financed by others in some way and all of that isn't cheap.

If the projections are correct, there will be a few years where UK Germany and France will have the exact same population.

Power-balance wise, it should be interesting.

11
level 2

Well, in 2000 it was projected that Germanys population would decrease to 80 Million, but instead it increased to over 83 Million. Those projection couldn't expect the mass immigration in the mid 2010 from the Arabic countries and they couldn't project the work immigration from the mediterranean countries because of there 2008 financial crises and it following struggles from countries like Italy and Greece. But they completely underestimated the immigration from the countries who joined the EU later one, like Poland or Romania.

Those Projections just can't predict certain events.

I think someone else already pointed this out, but this is likely inaccurate for the Netherlands: Statistics Netherlands published a prognosis of ~19,63 million in 2050, and a low scenario of 17,79 million. This chart takes that low scenario, but that assumes basically no population growth over the next decades.

I'd want to know how the hell Spain is one of the countries with most projected growth when our birth rate is abysmal and, as far as I know, it's not like our economic outlook is going to change the current situation of young people or attract a significant amount of immigrants any time soon.

Apart from this map having questionable sources I think it is Bulshit to expect population changes to be measured accurately for 30 years in the future.

10 years ago the German fertility rate was 1.3, now it’s 1,54. Many things can change in 30 years not even talking of immigration which can’t be predicted for such a timespan.
