On January 17, new figures were published that indicated China's population experienced a decline for the first time in over sixty years.

Population declines have been experienced in eight countries with over ten million inhabitants over the last decade.

The populations of Ukraine, Japan, Syria, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Greece are all declining.

.

According to Euronews, the one thing these countries have in common is low fertility rates, meaning women are giving birth to fewer babies on average than before.

The World Bank found that each of these European countries have fertility rates between 1.2 and 1.6 children for each woman.

Euronews notes that a fertility rate of over 2 is needed to maintain a stable population.

In Asia, Japan lost over 3 million people between 2011 and 2021 and now has a fertility rate of just 1.3 children per woman.

According to the U.N.

Report, China is forecast to lose nearly half of its population by 2100, plummeting from over 1.4 billion people down to just 771 million.
