A demographic decline weighs upon Eastern Europe's future

The academic Philippe Wanner studies the consequences of the demographical decline in Eastern Europe. "A significant drop in the population (an annual decrease between 0.5 and 1%) characterises Ukraine, Georgia, Russia and Romania. ... This new demographic conjuncture opens a whole new range of questions, seeing as it will lead to a short or medium term shortage of available work force, an increase in the weight of pensions and health care spending, and numerous obstacles slowing down economic growth. Even if economic, political and societal adjustments can attenuate some consequences of this decline, there are not many means to avoid it, and even those are not very efficient. For Eastern European countries, which do not benefit from an incoming flow of immigration to expand their populations and renew active generations, only family planning policies can maintain fertility and avoid the acceleration of a demographic depression."
