Latvia's population decreased by ~18000 people so far this year. Lithuania's population decreased by ~14000. Estonia's decreased by ~3000
these countries are shrinking, these rates are not improving, the young leave these countries, leaving an ailing and dying population behind. Their absence worsens the economy, which drives further abandonment by young people.
What's the way forward for this region? Where is this going to lead?
The media has made it so that the second or so thing I think of when I think of Europe is Demographic Collapse. When you bring it up here though euros get very upset and defensive.
Joseph Bell
Same was with Ireland and now look at them
William Anderson
actually the situation is improving, many lithuanians are coming back and we should have positive immigration soon
Camden Williams
Jow Forums told me estonia is the greatest country in europe wtf?
Caleb Thomas
>positive immigration heh
Owen Cook
Is there any reason to assume that migration from eastern Europe to western Europe will slow down as the east catches up with the west?
shitskins are not comming here anyway. last time EU sent refugees here they rented a bus and ran away to germany
Cameron Anderson
That's wonderful.
Jeremiah Wood
it should be noted that between the three countries they have ~7 million people
Jason Wood
It will slow down as soon as the number of English-speaking eastern europeans becomes zero.
Adrian Parker
actually, scratch that, it's barely above 6 million
Dominic Jackson
>nowadays unlike commie times, people have the freedom to live and work wherever they want And people say "Oh but we had such higher birthrates back then unlike now."
Shock. Back in 1970s, you couldn't leave the country or emigrate without permission. There was nothing to do except work in a gray factory and have sex which is why people had like 6 kids per couple. High birthrates like that are not sign of a developed country, it means you're Africa-level.
Anthony Hill
these useless countries need more diversity in them. they are slavs anyway won't be a big loss if we used some nignogs and arabs in the process.
Wait so the mark of a developed country is sub replacement population growth and a state that requires constant population growth? Is this what euros truly believe?
It does not matter that Lithuania was conquered and oppressed by Russians and Germans for hundreds of years. You are Europeans. You have white privilege. For this, you must repent.
I am an active feminist/social justice activist in the United States. The U.S. is one of the most racist, misogynistic, bigoted, and intolerant places in the world. Today, we must atone for our history of imperialism, racism, sexism, colonialism, and oppression. Thankfully, the time of whites in America is ending. Within a few decades, minorities will outnumber the white population, and our country will be led by strong people of color, especially strong empowered women.
What does this have to do with Lithuania? Lithuania must also become a diverse, tolerant, multicultural country. All of Europe, even small Baltic nations, must be transformed into a rainbow of ethnicities, religions, cultures, and languages. Diversity is our strength, and multiculturalism is progress. Lithuania must do everything it can to promote these values. This means drastically increasing and promoting immigration from Africa and the Middle East, installing professional quotas for people of color and women.
Lithuanians must do everything they can to check their white privilege. Wanting to preserve Lithuanian identity and culture is nothing less than racism. Everyone in the West is guilty of oppression against people of color.
In conclusion, Lithuania WILL become multicultural whether you wish it to be or not. There is nothing you can do to stop this. American social justice is coming to Europe, and rapidly spreading. Look at the UK. Look at Sweden. These are your multicultural futures. I only ask that you accept your white guilt/privilege and make this ethnic transition easier. Nationalism must never again be allowed to rise in Europe, especially in Lithuania. We must never forget the 18 million Jews who perished in the holocaust because of white nationalistic racism.
Who cares? Population decline is a good thing. If we cut off aid to Africa every country will peak within 2-3 decades and then taper off to livable levels. There are countries today like Bangladesh whose function is hampered by their unreal population for a small area.
Elijah Reyes
Seriously. We lived more like animals than men back then.
It was terrible. Russia needs to be nuked off the map for what they did.
Not if your pensions require population replacement
Ayden Green
Japan has almost 130 million people. They can survive losing a few million. As it is, they have too many people and too little land.
Jackson Johnson
isn't 3 million people enough you dumb American, everything is getting robotized anyway
Easton Harris
The whole surprising thing you may not realize is that old people tend to, well, die so give it one generation or so and this problem will self-correct.
Nolan Richardson
their country is roughly the size of california, I think they have enough land, the problem is the density they're living in. Mountains make up a fair amount of their surface area.
Dominic Williams
Don't they teach English in school, watch American movies, etc?
Aaron Green
We have some growth now from other Eastern European cunts. So we had small growth, but the educated still tend to leave.
Wyatt Evans
They need to import Russians (and get annexed)(just kiddin')
Levi Martinez
People are also taught trigonometry in schools. Not many can tell the difference between cos and arccos, though. And films are usually dubbed.
Easton Jenkins
It's the people who went to work abroad coming back, genius Considering humanity is heading towards unprecedented unemployment I think we'll be better off than the places with positive population growth.
Adam Bell
Your numbers are a bit off, going by official statistics population this year decreased by 9000~.
Nathan Lopez
Lithuania could unironically do that since they don't discriminate people on the basis of their ethnicity. Other two are hopeless.
Ian Bell
Yes, because 99% of emigration is people going to work shitty jobs for high wages. When the wage gain-job shittiness tradeoff is no longer positive, people stop going.
Luis Johnson
Please import me
Benjamin Collins
And during July/August we actually had population increase.
Caleb Ross
About 3000 Estonians move to Finland every year Many of them are females who go back eventually with a half-Finnish baby
Isaac Scott
Literally everybody below the age of 30 is able to hold a conversation in English. Most middle class kids are fluent thanks to the internet.
Gavin Carter
Rude.
Adrian Edwards
They simply don't have enough Russians for it to be a problem. More Russians is the last thing we need, you're our equivalent of niggers.
Leo Cruz
Thanks finbulls for keeping estonians from dying out
Connor Cooper
The entire Eastern Europe+Baltic region is one large tribe of white negroes.
Lucas Garcia
Come on, Poland imports thousands of Ukies every year and does fine.
Cameron Carter
And That's a Good Thing (really, just let it be)
Anthony Lee
We can thank women for that. >What's the way forward for this region? Where is this going to lead? Islam, and I'm slowly starting to feel like it'd be an improvement.
