Answer 1

The aging of Europe, also known as the greying of Europe, is a demographic phenomenon in Europe characterised by a decrease in fertility, a decrease in mortality rate, and a higher life expectancy among European populations.[1] Low birth rates and higher life expectancy contribute to the transformation of Europe's population pyramid shape. The most significant change is the transition towards a much older population structure, resulting in a decrease in the proportion of the working age while the number of the retired population increases. The total number of the older population is projected to increase greatly within the coming decades, with rising proportions of the post-war baby-boom generations reaching retirement. This will cause a high burden on the working age population as they provide for the increasing number of the older population.[2]

Throughout history many states have worked to keep high birth rates in order to have moderate taxes, more economic activity and more troops for their military.[3]

Population aging is observed in most European countries today.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In 2018, Spain has a population of 3.22 million. But Spain will decrease its population by 9.4 million in next 50 years. This represent 24% in its current population. This is because of low birth rate which is 1.2 children per woman, which is the lowest in the world. In 2050, Spain will have the largest percentage of old people in the world. The problem that Spain has to face is that the working age people (15-54) will decrease and old people above 65 will increase and population pyramid will also change.
