EU to shrink by 50m people as birth rate hits record low
The Telegraph ^ | April 16, 2026 | Eir Nolsoe

Posted on 04/18/2026 7:08:33 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The European Union’s population is expected to plunge by 53 million by the end of the century after the bloc’s birth rate fell to a record low.

In new projections released on Thursday, the number of people living across the continent will fall to 398.9 million by 2100, down from 451.8 million today.

The population is expected to grow by an extra 1.5 million over the next three years, before then shrinking consistently over the next six decades.

This decline is equivalent to the entire populations of Spain and Ireland disappearing.

The forecasts also show that the age of the population is expected to change dramatically, with the EU heading for a future with fewer children and more octogenarians.

One in six people in the EU will be in their 80s or older by 2100, the data show, compared with around one in 17 currently.

It comes as figures published last month showed the fertility rate across the bloc fell to 1.3 children per woman in 2024. This is the lowest since records began in 2001.

Has nothing to do with the jab. The new generation just doesn’t want to have kids. And they’re going to regret it.

Oh, don’t worry. Between the children they have with their multiple “wives”, and those they spawn through rape of the actual British, the muslims will double the population of Europe in no time.

Of course, by then, most of Europe will look like Mogadishu.

under sharia law, islamicist soldiers/terrorists are permitted many wives ...and all children are deemed Moslem at birth (with a death sentence for ever leaving the cult)

it does not seem at all likely that Europe population is going to decrease. Just the contrary. The next generation will be IslamoNazi, however, and not European by any visible cultural moral religious standard

I am going to laugh my ass off when all these childless liberals are old and start complaining about no one to care for them and being lonely ect.

You aborted all your children, now live with the consequences, while I enjoy knowing your line will end with you.

No worries... Third world imports will make up for that tenfold.

It's definitely contributed ...

The former chief of toxicology at Pfizer in Europe said that births have decreased by an average of 17% since the c*vid vaccine.

This sounds very bad.— PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) April 15, 2026

Don’t worry.

Import a few million more muslims.

What could possibly go wrong?

Telegraph: EU shrinking - birth rates hit record low. What the Telegraph doesn’t mention is that post the Covid jab, deaths continue to be in excess.
Europe has a population crisis, and our ‘leaders’ response is to flood the continent with migrants so you don’t see empty houses in your street.

This is the basis of the Kalergi plan described as a ‘conspiracy theory’.

Since the 2021 Covid ‘vaccine’ rollout deaths have outpaced live births in the UK. But immigration has increased.

Hard to loot the new generation when there is no new generation.

Whether or not the Covid jab has any effect, it was a mathematical certainty long before Covid that the population is going to experience a dramatic decline. The only people having enough kids to replace themselves are Muslims and Subsaharan Africans. Russia and China are already feeling it. The only reason the world population continues to increase at this point is because of the phenomenon of demographic inertia. But that’s coming to an end very soon. Then the decline begins. This is NOT like climate change. This is based on actuarial and demographic mathematics.

What is wrong with people. Or are they lying to justify more immigrants?
