For example, if there are 500 divorces and 1,000 marriages in a given year in a given area, the ratio would be one divorce for every two marriages, e.g. a ratio of 0.50 (50%). Data is from last available year by country. As an example Portugal data is from 2020, Germany is from 2017.

A brilliant new map by @ZebelysL shows fertility across Europe, district by district. It is shockingly low almost everywhere, and lower than any other region outside of East Asia. In a new article, I explain the biggest causes of Europe's low fertility and what can be done. 1/3

Fa molts anys que a FANOC formem part de la @XarxaNust, compartint el compromís per una millor cultura del temps. Per a les famílies, i especialment per a les famílies nombroses, poder conciliar la vida laboral, familiar i personal és fonamental. Celebrem aquests 20 anys💚

In any case, relying on intra-European immigration isn’t viable anymore. The proverbial Gastarbeiter flows from Eastern Europe (especially Poles and Croats, but also Bulgarians now) are reversing as their home countries catch up economically (and also, their fertility rates are falling as well).
This is a common attempt at copium, but it's wrong. In every EU state except Hungary, Slovakia, and Luxembourg, there are more people born in a non-EU country than in another EU member state. In most of them, it's not even close.

The Canadian Married Families Index measures how families are doing (fertility, marriage and the proportion of children living with married parents). In contrast with 20 years ago, each province has declined, Nunavut and Quebec the most. 1/2 nationalpost.com/opinion/pet…
