Low birth rate with bad economy = depopulation, Western Europe also has low birth rates but their economy is good so they can attract migrants. If anyone says we can increase the birth rates it’s not going to happen. Women’s education = low birth rates. Muslim countries still have high birth rates because they don’t educate the girls properly but there are highly educated Muslim girls also but their birth rate is low

When comparing current populations to 1989 levels, are they taking into account the deaths due to war? That’s arguably a different demographic problem than out-migration and low fertility.

Huh, thought Albania would be way higher.

I think if the map included ukrain, belarus, and the 3 baltic states, they would be much worse off than these guys. Just a hunch.

Austria has a Balkan mindset, and the levels of corruption. But it does not belong to the Balkans, just because they owned it some time.

The one uniting factor of the Balkans is moving out of the Balkans

Make white zero, green addition of population, and another colour (red seems appropriate) the colour for depopulation.
That leaves out at least two major factors, the impact first of COVID-19 then the impact of the Ukrainian refugee crisis. In Poland and Czechia particularly, the Ukrainian influx—arguably an intensification of earlier trends—has resulted in population stability and growth.
Much of the region generally is starting to become a major magnet, including Romania: Just as it took Spain a generation after the end of Franco to become a major immigration hotspot, it is also taking a generation for post-Communist countries to do this. As Spain particularly has shown, this has had a huge effect: Rather than declining from 40 million, Spain’s population has grown to reach 50 million. We could imaginably see slower decline or even stability and slight growth in more of the region outside of Slovenia.

The shape of this particular combination of countries reminds me of the shape of Guatemala (horizontally flipped).

This comes from a 2019 projection.
