Spain is down to 1.29 children per woman per fertile lifetime - i.e Spain is just about halving in population every generation.
Very shortly it will cease to exist [as will all of the other nations in the right-hand column]:

KayEyeDoubleDee,
Spain has admitted more than 4 million immigrants in the past decade, mostly Latin Americans. That is the reason why actual population has increased by 10%.
monomaniac,
the impact of “progressive” culture that downplays the role of family and improvement and focuses on hedonism has had a lot of influence, but there is also a deep economic problem, because, to keep the privileges of the middle and third age people (pensioners with high state payments and workers that cannot be fired) the adjust is being done on the younger generation. It is not easy to buy a home here by the average young worker (below 30) not to say to earn enough to get married and have two children. The future of Spain is being lost trying to avoid any inconvenience to the older generations.
A consequence of the Welfare State in our now globilizing world.
