[tipirneni]

According to the World Bank, Serbia's population of just below 7 million is projected to .fall to 5.8 million by 2050. It is 25% decline from 1990. The Serbian government says the Balkan country is effectively losing a town each year, and that as many as 18 municipalities have less than 10,000 people. " We are 103 people less every day"

Thats regretable but a common trend in the Balkans.

[MagnusDark]

Apparently this trend is all over the Balkans. The least effected by 2050 based on current projections are North Macedonia(3% loss), Greece(3% loss), Montenegro(5% loss), Kosova(11% loss) and Albania(18% loss). The rest are projected to lose 20-40% through emigration/drop in fertility/older age being the average median etc. The youth are realizing their nations have nothing to offer besides fear, poverty, and nationalism.

Not sure if Slovenia counts as Balkan given its geographic position. However it is the only one with a 3% increase by 2050.

With regards to Serbia(given this thread):

The young generation go to West in this region.

[Heaven]

People visiting Vienna and neighbouring Austrian, German cities report that Serbs are actually all over the place there.
Likely Serbs and similar Balkanites with basic education and German language knowledge don't stay in their own Balkan countries.

Ireland had a decent native birthrate of 2.0 before abortion was legalized and the church loosing grip there.

Perhaps plummeting fertility(among other factors) is Gods way of smiting an ungrateful peoples who commit abortion. Thereby, cutting their lineages at the root, and replacing them with others(whom have growing fertility rates). Just a thought. I have noticed countries that practice abortion have plummeting fertility, not only because of abortion, but also due to growing medical issues that leave people barren or unable to produce.
