UN Expects Dwindle of Population in Europe from 418 Million to 362 Million People by 2030

Governments of some European countries with emerging economies have launched a set of policies that encourage their citizens to have children.

Those policies include providing financial benefits and tax exemptions for those who have more children, despite the economic crises that the old continent is going through with the high number of unemployed.

The Spanish newspaper "La Pangordia" indicated that some European countries, from Russia in the east to Poland in the west to Serbia in the south, have begun to encourage the increase of offspring and aim to face the great demographic decline in a region that many of its countries are expected to face during the coming decades.

Data issued by the United Nations (UN) predicted a decrease in the total population of the countries of Central Europe, Southeast Europe, Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia from 418 million people in 2021 to 362 million people by 2030, according to the World Population Prospects Report for 2022.
