EuroNews:

The estimates from Eurostat signal the bloc could see its population shrink by 6 per cent, or 27.3 million people, by 2100.

That seems like an underestimate to me. Although, maybe with migration it will something like that
-6% over 80 years doesn't really seem major to me
Probably migration will cover it.
But for that we need crises elsewhere (war, famine).
Don't think we need to worry about that, don't think we're gonna see a shift in how all great powers act in the next 100 years.
The report also says Europe’s population will age, with the portion over 65 increasing from 21 percent to 32 percent by 2100. I think welfare states will be in trouble before then, but a 6% smaller population supporting ~ 40% more retirees would be even worse.
Having said that, I’m skeptical that anyone can predict Europe’s population in 77 years.
Yeah probably. Germany imported 1 million people in one year under Merkel if i remember correctly.
When they'll gonna need it they'll just open the borders so we'll have workers.
When it you didn't even reach a type 1 and already killed yourself off by trying to social engineer society.
With complex social systems you also need that... Nowadays they're all intertwined, pensions, education, wages, population control. The only part we're still really fuckin up is resources distribution and management...
