Resumen:	Population decline has become a key concern within the EU as more and more Member States and regions are starting to shrink. This is not a new phenomenon: quite a few regions have experienced periods of population decline since the 1960. Existing narratives explain population decline through a focus on rural and remote regions. However, this dynamic does not hold for all rural regions. The process of population decline is influenced by natural change (NC) and net migration (NM), with positive NM often compensating for negative NC. Therefore, this chapter explores the current and, through projections, potential future state of population decline across the EU, with a careful consideration of the interaction of immigration, emigration, population ageing and fertility in shaping population dynamics, and the current population projections and their implications for the EU in the coming decade. This chapter employs data from Eurostat and the Annual Regional Database of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (ARDECO) to illustrate existing population dynamics across the EU. Overall, the population of the EU has steadily increased since 1960. On 1 January 2024, the total population of the EU was estimated to be 449 million. Despite this general growth, population change is projected to become negative in the coming decade. Population growth has also not been uniform across the EU. While some Member States and regions have experienced steady growth, many have experienced periods of population decline since 1960.
