Fertility across Europe has now gotten so low that not one EU member state, including Ireland, have
a natural population growth above replacement level.
The figures released by Eurostat this week show that 5.075 million babies born in the union in 2017,
compared with 5.148 million in 2016 with the total fertility rate standing at 1.59 births per woman.
This is well below the rate of 2.1 babies per woman that is needed to keep a population and
civilisation from going into terminal decline.
The most fertile countries in the EU are France with a fertility rate at 1.90 births per woman,
followed by Sweden (1.78), Ireland (1.77), Denmark (1.75), and the United Kingdom (1.74).
However, even this is below replacement level and in countries such as France, Sweden and the UK
the birth rate is only kept inflated due to the incredible high rate of births among certain groups,
particularly the Muslim community.
The decline in the birth rate among indigenous Europeans is coupled with mass migration from
outside Europe.
These statistics do not bode well for Western and European civilisation for as demographics shift,
culture and politics will invariably shift as well as it always has.
Ironically the liberal/progressive ideology that is fundamentally anti-natal is likely to have dug its
own grave for as liberal Europeans die out and are replaced by other groups such as Third World
Muslims their ideology will die with them.
