That is a common trait of all post-soviet European countries. In Estonia in particular the sharp decline was due to many leaving soviet military and their families and soviet colonists in general (good riddance). The second source, a sharp birth rate decline right after 1991, was due to the hectic switchover from the soviet to the capitalist way of life - something that was largely inevitable. The third reason has been increasing emigration, esp since joining EU and the Schengen Area - again, largely inevitable, Finland has gone through a similar period, the only alternative would be Belarus.
What you are missing is that the number of native estonians in Estonia has only varied about 15% during the last 120 years or so - estonians in Estonia have been one of the most stable population in the world. Has been.
Life expectancy in Estonia stalled during 1940-1992 and then started a quick rise towards western standards. There is still a lot of catch up to do.
Yes, that is a problem, although "the highest" is debatable. Among the highest is more correct.
Has been declining since 1992.
But what about in Zimbabwe?
The education of doctors in Estonia is evidently too high for such a low-income country. Something has to give.
And since it would be difficult to raise Estonia's economy to the western level at once, one would "logically" argue that one has to lower the education of doctors.
Any suggestions to improve the matters? Would you believe it was different even if Estonia became part of Finland?
The joys of being a small country opening up.
Not by African standards.
That is a problem.
Do you have a viable solution?
