Albania ranks second in Europe for projected population decline by 2100, with a contraction of 57%, according to a chart published by Eurostat.

At the top of the ranking is Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia for years, with 19% of its territory occupied and about 80% of its territory under heavy artillery attacks, where a population decline of 61.5% is predicted.

After Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks with 56%, while North Macedonia and Belarus with 52% and 51%, respectively.

According to UN projections, Albania's population is expected to decline from around 2.8 million inhabitants in 2024 to around 1.2 million in 2100.

Albania's demographic turn has come much earlier than that of Europe as a whole. According to the same UN database, the population of the European continent peaked in 2020, with around 749.2 million inhabitants.

So Albania had passed its peak 29 years earlier. By 2100, Europe's population is projected to be around 592.3 million, roughly 21% below its peak, a much more moderate percentage contraction than the 63.9% projected for Albania.

In fact, Albania belongs to a generation of Eastern and Southeastern European countries that reached their demographic peak very early. Serbia peaked in 1987, Bulgaria in 1988, and Croatia in 1990. Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina reached it in 1991.

In the rest of the region, the UN series places Kosovo's peak in 1997 and North Macedonia's in 2005, while Greece continued to rise until 2010.

Montenegro and Slovenia reached their maximum much later, in 2024. Turkey is one of the region's exceptions: in the medium scenario, its population continues to grow for about two more decades and peaks around 2047./ Hashtag
