  1. Guess for Malta, Italy and Spain their color on the map is not the only thing that’s blue

  2. Well Spain and Italy will face severe problems in the future without a good immigration system brining in hard working people. Their pension system will collapse.

  3. Finnish statisticians have been sounding an alarm for a few years now that Finland needs to increase birth rates and/or immigration in to the country, so that we could sustain our welfare state.

    They currently predict that our population will start going down around 2035 and might dip bellow 5 million by the end of the century.

  4. Wtf Czechia, Slovenia and the Baltics? How do they have such a high fertility compared to neighbors? And why is Poland so low? Shouldn’t they have higher birth rates with their conservative government?

  5. Sadly here – Italy – is impossible to have children if you aren’t rich. The dream holiday destination is indeed a very sad place for a lot of people that inhabit it

  6. any real solutions to this? I rarely hear governments talk about this issue during election campaigns.

  7. I understand why France is so high considering that French Guyana et al are included, but I don’t understand Slovenia. Do they have overseas claims I don’t know about not shown here?

  8. Netherlands does a lot more than just smoke weed lol. Such a high population on a small piece of land people are basically already stacked up on each other. Yeah then you just have to let willy roam a little and you probably impregnate one or two by chance when you go for a stroll.

  9. Welfare states will not be sustainable with these birth rates, we actually might have to let in immigrants to do all the work natives dont want to do

  10. Why are people here talking about this as if it’s a problem? There are so many housing issues, and there are already so many people. Let the population shrink a bit, we don’t need to maintain current populations, we need a more stable living environment. Maybe reducing the total population could help, rather than to continue increasing it.

  11. This has to do with the level of education and professional advancement and opportunities the females in the society have. In general European women do not start having children until they are 32. Less developed countries start having children at 20. The earlier you start a family the greater the chances of procreating. The older the woman gets the lower the fertility. Wealth has nothing to do with it. Undeveloped countries would not have twice the fertility rate as European countries if it had to do with wealth.

  12. Poland and Spain, two countries with a devout Catholic majority, are among the lowest? Damn the Pope‘s gonna have something to say about your dogs and cats.

  13. I have a question for Scandinavians. You guys get great benefits, social programs…etc. Why is it still so low? You would think it’d be at least around 2 mark.
