🇬🇷POPULATION COLLAPSE IS GREECE'S BIGGEST THREAT New figures predict its population will drop sharply by up to 25% by 2070, far higher than the EU average of 4%. In 2022, the country recorded fewer than 77,000 births, the lowest in nearly a century, while deaths reached 140,000. Economic challenges, low wages, and high unemployment have driven many young Greeks abroad, worsening the crisis. Greece's fertility rate is now just 1.32 births per woman, leading to an aging population. The government has introduced tax incentives and family support measures to combat the trend, with officials calling it the nation's "biggest threat." Source: Express

Greece is predicted to become the first nation to suffer “population collapse” as sudden and unexpected deaths continue soaring across the nation while fertility rates have plunged to levels lower than experts previously thought possible. Heart failure, strokes, blood clots, and rapid onset cancers among otherwise healthy young people have caused the mortality rates to skyrocket in Greece, while the fertility levels in young males and females are caused the birth rate to fall through the floor, recording the lowest number of births in almost a century. The prospect of population collapse in Greece is a “ticking time bomb” and a “national threat” according to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
