The European Union's population has peaked and is expected to enter a declining trajectory in the coming decades, announced the European Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Suica.

According to her, the European Union currently has 450.6 million inhabitants, but this number is projected to fall to around 445 million by 2050 and to 398.8 million by 2100.

This would represent a decline of 11.7 percent, returning the bloc's population to 1970s levels.

Suica warned that demographic changes will have significant consequences for the European economy.

According to her, the European Union will face labor shortages, increasing pressure on public budgets, as well as ever-increasing demands on health services, education, and vocational training systems.

The Commissioner also noted the continued increase in life expectancy in European Union countries.

According to projections, by 2050, almost one in three EU citizens will be over the age of 65, while currently this ratio is one in five.

Suica also said that by the end of the century, average life expectancy could exceed 90 years for women and 86 years for men.

She added that a child born in the European Union in 2023 is expected to live without serious illness until the age of 75.3.
