Internal movement will cause a radical reshuffling of the EU population by 2060 unless trends moderate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using various demographic scenarios, a three-year investigation by the European Commission and scientific institute\u202f<\/span>International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)<\/span><\/a>\u202fsheds light onto this slow-moving, but consequential force reshaping the EU.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under current conditions, dramatic population reductions await Romania (-30 percent), Croatia (-30 percent), and Lithuania (-38 percent) among others<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That decline unfolds over only the next few decades. If internal flows reach an equilibrium, the changes are much less severe: Romania (-14 percent), Hungary (-18 percent), and Lithuania (-20 percent), mostly due to natural decreases from having small families<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria receives the largest proportional gains from intra-EU mobility, and Germany’s population would be about stable if not for receiving newcomers from the east and south (+7 percent with vs. -1 percent without)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The scale of these movements, over time, carry important implications<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While cohesion funds and remittances support development to varying degrees, they are not a substitute for the human capital \u2013 economic and social potential \u2013 of a country’s people.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
