Abstract

Avrupa Birliği, 2018 demografik verilerine göre 28 üye devlete sahip olan ve 512.379.225 nüfuslu uluslararası bir kuruluştur. Birliğin nüfusu genel olarak yıllar içerisinde artmıştır. Ancak yeni sosyolojik araştırmalar, Avrupa Birliği’nin demografik bir dönüşüm problemiyle karşı karşıya kalacağını göstermektedir. Avrupa kıtasının nüfus yapısının olumsuz yönde değişmeye başladığı anlaşılmaktadır. Özellikle Batı Avrupa’nın dünyanın en yaşlı nüfusa sahip bölgelerinden biri olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu makale, AB'nin 1960'dan 2100'e kadarki demografik değişimini; nüfus, doğurganlık, beklenen yaşam süresi ve gelecek projeksiyonları gibi bazı önemli faktörler açısından analiz edecektir. Bu sorunun çözümü için de bazı öneriler değerlendirilecektir.

DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE ANALYSIS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND FUTURE PROJECTIONS

Abstract

The European Union is an international organization which has 28 member states and 512.379.225 population according to the demographic data of 2018. The population of the Union has generally increased through the years. But new sociological researches show that the European Union will face a demographic change problem. The population structure of the European population has begun to change in a negative manner. Now it is well-known that especially Western Europe is one of the world’s oldest populations. This paper will analyze the demographic change of the EU from 1960 to 2100 in a manner of some important factors such as population, fertility, life expectancy, and future projections. In order to solve this problem, some suggestions will be analyzed.
