4.2.2.        Population change

Between 1990 and 2017, the European population (EEA38+UK) increased by 11 %. The highest increase was in southern Europe (+17 %), followed by northern (+13 %) and western Europe (+11 %). In eastern Europe the population decreased by -6 %, due to migration to other countries (Eurostat, 2020c). Roughly 200 million people have migrated from one place of Europe (EEA38+UK) to another between 2000 and 2019 (Eurostat, 2020d). Immigration to Europe (EEA38+UK) from foreign countries intensified in the last decade. The 2018 Ageing report (EC, 2018c) projects the annual net migration inflows to the EU to decrease from about 1.5 million people in 2016 to 821 000 people by 2070 or 0.2 % of the total population.
