What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A study released by the Berlin Institute for Population and Development, in collaboration with the Wüstenrot Foundation, projects Germany's population will decrease from 83.5 million in 2025 to approximately 81.8 million by 2045. The report highlights that the primary challenge is the rising number of retirees alongside a shrinking workforce, which is projected to decrease by 4.7% by 2045. Institute President Catherina Hinz stated that falling birth rates and insufficient immigration are contributing factors.

The demographic shift suggests that regional economic strength will become increasingly important across the country. The study indicates that while the population decline is not uniform, some regions are expected to lose substantial numbers of residents and workers in the coming years.
