From the Mediterranean coast to the Balkans, Southern Europe faces a uniform demographic retreat. This infographic illustrates how even countries with historically higher birth rates, including Muslim-majority nations like Turkey and Albania, are projected to see their populations peak and then fall significantly by 2100. The region’s combination of economic stagnation, youth emigration, and rapidly falling fertility rates points toward a future of profound societal aging and diminished influence, transcending cultural and religious lines.
