Rising life expectancy in Central & Eastern Europe offset a third of the population decline from low fertility from 1990 to 2020. Meanwhile, the positive effect of a young age structure balanced out losses from negative net migration. 📢My new paper on population dynamics is

Hungary’s fertility rate fell below 1.3 in the first half of the year. Combined with a shrinking reproductive-age population, this led to 10,000 fewer births compared to 2021. #demography #population #fertility #Hungary

More men died from COVID-19, but since men generally have a higher risk of death at all ages, women weren’t always better off when looking at the increase in mortality. In some cases, their death rates rose even more. Excellent new study just out!.

The fertility gap between graduate and non-graduate women becomes statistically insignificant when accounting for first-in-family (FiF) status. FiF graduates have fewer children than both non-FiF graduates and non-graduates, who exhibit similar fertility patterns. A great new

Life expectancy gains have slowed sharply in the past decade in Western Europe. The increase was just 1.1 years, less than half the progress seen in earlier decades. #demograpy #population #lifepan #Poland #Germany #UK #France #Italy

Romania’s population dropped from 23.2M to 19.3M between 1990 and 2020. The decline was driven by net out-migration and low fertility, partly offset by a relatively young age structure and rising life expectancy. Source: #demography #population #Romania

Life expectancy at age 20 for Hungarian men finally surpassed the 1960 level in the past decade—after a recovery that took decades following the mortality crises of the late 19th century. #demography #Hunhary #population

While the mean age of women at first birth has started to rise again after several years of stagnation, the mean age at third birth has remained stable in Hungary. As a result, the age gap between first and third births has almost halved, from 5.5 years to 3. #demography

Fertility in the EU27 fell to a historic low below 1.4 in 2023. The TFR of 1.38 marks a 0.15-point drop in just two years. #demography #fertility #babies #EU #Germany #Poland #Italy #France #Spain
