Greece’s population expected to decline within next 27 years

·

Greece’s population is expected to decrease by 2.5 million within the next 27 years, according to a study by the Laboratory of Demographic and Social Analyzes of the University of Thessaly.

The study, conducted by Professor Byron Kotzamanis, notes the population in Greece will range between 9.5 and a total of 10.4 million by 2035.

Back in 2015, the population was 10.9 million, meaning the population will decline from 450,000 to 1.4 million people in comparison to 2015 figures.

Greece’s population is expected to decrease by 2.5 million within the next 27 years.

The study notes that estimates are more ominous regarding 2050.

Schengen Visa News reports Greece is facing a large ageing population and a small workforce between the ages of 18-65 to to cover the pensions of the elderly with their contributions.

The study suggested “direct intervention” was needed to deal with the ageing population and this could “only be achieved through immigration.”
