Eastern Europe is projected to be the epicenter of global population collapse. This infographic maps a landscape of drastic decline, where nearly every nation is expected to lose a substantial share of its people by 2100. The sole, striking exception is transcontinental Kazakhstan, which is forecast to grow. Among the countries contracting, Russia is projected to experience the mildest decline, a relative resilience owed not to positive trends but to its sheer size and lingering geopolitical pull, which slightly temper the exodus devastating its smaller neighbors.
