Moreover, the population will increase in the most developed EU countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands.
In turn, the “Young Socialist” - Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Baltic republics, as well as other states that failed to build a competitive economy, will show an extinction trend. So, for example, in comparison with 2000, the population of Lithuania will decrease from 3,5 million to 1,8 million, and in Latvia from 2,3 million to 1,4 million.

Europeans will live longer, while the number of children among EU residents will decrease, and the share of the working-age population is expected to fall. By 2060, the number of employees will be reduced from 211 to 202 million people.
Such changes in the population structure will increase the burden on the European budget, and the EU will no longer be able to provide close to the current level of social protection for its citizens.
It should be noted that these forecasts are inertial in nature, i.e. they proceed from non-interference in the demographic processes of the state and society.
Some EU decisions, in particular, the lifting of the prohibitions, and sometimes the popularization (through attitude as a norm in raising children) of same-sex marriages, only aggravate this problem.
At the same time, the European Commission sees immigration as the main tool for solving demographic problems. In order to maintain a modern pension system and social guarantees for an aging population, the EU will need to attract at least 35 million of able-bodied migrants by 2035, and by 2050, 169 million of immigrants must move to the EU.
It should be noted that the influx of migrants in this case will occur mainly from Africa and the Middle East, where traditional family values are strong and many children are usually born.

Thus, the indigenous population of the EU countries will gradually be replaced, changing its national and cultural foundations. And most of all it will affect the countries of Eastern Europe - the new EU members.
National elites who wish to preserve their own states in the form of ethnic reserves, are trying in every possible way to delay these events. At the same time, the conflicts that flared up in North Africa, in the Middle East, and now in Ukraine, will only accelerate these processes.
And the pressure of the European Commission, not without the efforts of the developed countries of Europe, is growing and should soon, relying on "human rights" to break the resistance of the recalcitrant. I think it’s not long to wait, and soon what we see as separate examples (which has already been written on the site) will become normal.
But won't this lead to a “conflict of civilizations”?
