505 to 514 million inhabitants2,72% anual GDP growth
514 to 530 million inhabitants1,89% anual GDP growth
Divergent population trends across Europe?
Moderate Growth in Northern European Regions Moderate Growth in Central European Regions Reduction in Eastern European Regions Uncertain Growth in Southern European Regions Differences between large cities/more rural areas, inner/coastal areas
End of the process of moderate growth and convergence?
High Growth in Northern Countries Moderate Growth in Central Europe Eastern European Regions Slow and Polarised Growth Lasting Recession Impacts in Southern European Regions Regional Specificities seem to be more relevant?
