The total population of Greece decreased by about 37 per 10,000 people on average each year between 2014 and 2019, according to a recent publication by Christos Bagavos, a professor of demography at the Pantheon University in Athens, published in the latest in a new series of digital bulletins for a research program funded by the Greek Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI), writes the electronic edition of the Greek newspaper Kathimerini.
Significantly, during the same period and under the positive impact of migration, another 13 out of 10,000 people were added to the total EU population. The increase in migrants is significantly higher in Europe (+46 per 10,000 people) than in Greece (+ 24 / 10,000).
Thus, while in the EU migration compensates for the shrinking local population and leads to its increase, migration in Greece only slowed down the decline of the total population.
