Данное сообщение не означает моего возврата к форумской деятельности — просто хочется напоследок заткнуть валенком пасти всем, кто шибко вопит о «вымирании русского народа». И в первую очередь, нашему дорогому президенту тов. Путину.
 
 
Federal Statistical Office
 
 
Press release
 
 
July 19, 2000
 
 
Population in Germany will decline by more than 10 million from presently
 
82 million by 2050
 
 
Today, the Federal Statistical Office has released in Berlin the results of
 
the 9th co-ordinated population projection until the year 2050.
 
 
As envisaged by the above projection, the number of the population in
 
Germany will decline. At the same time, the quantitative relation between
 
older and younger people will change considerably. The above projection
 
considers immigration from abroad based on the following two assumptions:
 
On the one hand (variant 1), a long-term annual net immigration of about
 
100,000 persons and, on the other (variant 2), a net immigration of about
 
200,000 persons.
 
 
- While today, Germany has about 82 million inhabitants, the number will
 
within 50 years decline √ depending on the above assumptions — to not more
 
than 65 million (variant 1) to 70 million (variant 2). This assumption is
 
based on the tendency observed in Germany over the last three decades that
 
more people die than are born. This tendency will continue over the next
 
five decades. Today, the number of persons who die is by 76,000 larger than
 
the number of children who are born. In 2050, however, the number of
 
persons who die will be larger by approximately 640,000 (variant 2) to
 
670,000 (variant 1). This will be largely the result of the low level of
 
births in Germany. — By the year 2050, the low level of births will have
 
led to a situation where the younger age cohorts (approx. up to the 50th
 
year of age) will generally show a smaller occupancy rate than the older
 
age cohorts. At that time, persons aged 58 to 63 will belong to the age
 
cohorts with the biggest occupancy rates. Today, it is the about 35 to
 
40-year-olds who belong to the latter cohorts. — The 'old-age ratio' is
 
computed to describe the associated changes in the age structure. It is
 
defined as the ratio of the population at retirement age to the population
 
at working age. If the borderline between the two groups is placed at an
 
age of 60, today's ratio is 40 persons at retirement age (60 years and
 
over) to 100 persons at working age (20 to 59 years). By 2050, this ratio
 
will have shifted, i.e. approximately doubled to 80 (variant 1) or 75
 
(variant 2). — If the borderline between the working and retirement ages
 
were shifted from 60 to 65 years, the old-age ratio computed on that basis
 
would jump from presently 25 persons (older than 64) to 52 (variant 2) to
 
56 persons (variant 1) and hence also double. — The weight of the
 
individual age groups will change considerably. Today, persons aged 60 and
 
over constitute nearly one quarter of the population (23%). In 2050, every
 
third person will belong to that age group (35.8%). In 1950, only every
 
seventh person was at that age (14.6%). On the other hand, the share of
 
young people is declining. While today, 21.3% of the population in Germany
 
are younger than 20, the percentage will fall to 16.3% in 2050. In 1950,
 
the group made up 30.4% of the population.
 
 
With the population being almost equal in numbers in 1950 and 2050 (69
 
million and 70 million, respectively), the age distribution will become
 
reversed within this century: While in 1950, the number of persons under 20
 
years of age was about twice as large as that of persons over 59 years, in
 
2050, the share of older persons will be more than twice as big as that of
 
younger ones.
 
 
 
The 9th co-ordinated population projection is based on the following
 
detailed assumptions:
 
 
- The birth rate in the former territory of the Federal Republic of Germany
 
will remain at the currently low level of just below 1,400 children per
 
1,000 women. In the new LДnder the birth rate, which still is far lower,
 
will certainly have approached the birth rate of the western part of
 
Germany by 2005 and will remain at that level then. To maintain the level
 
of population in the long term, however, the birth rate required would be
 
2,100 children per 1,000 women. A «stock-preserving rate» of that kind was
 
achieved in Germany until the beginning of the 1970s. — Like in the past
 
few decades, life expectancy will continue to increase: — By 2050, the
 
expected increase in the average life expectancy (of a newborn child) in
 
the former territory of the Federal Republic based on 1997 will amount to
 
approximately four years. In detail, the life expectancy of boys will
 
increase from 74.4 to 78.1 years and that of girls from 80.5 to 84.5 years.
 
As regards the new LДnder where life expectancy is still slightly smaller,
 
the latter is expected to increase more considerably to reach in the long
 
term the same level as that observed in the western part of Germany. — As
 
for a 60-year-old man, an increase in his «further» life expectancy to 21.6
 
years (+2.7 years compared to the base value for the former territory of
 
the Federal Republic) and for a woman of the same age an increase to 26.7
 
years (+3.5 years) are assumed. The above assumptions take for instance
 
into consideration that today's life expectancy is considerably higher in
 
other industrialised countries than in Germany. — As far as external
 
migration is concerned, two variants of net immigration have been
 
considered. In variant 1, net immigration will accumulate to reach a volume
 
of 5.8 million persons (about 100,000 annually) between 2000 and 2050. In
 
variant 2, a total of 10.2 million persons (about 200,000 annually) will
 
immigrate into the country. The largest part of them will be foreign
 
population.
 
 
 
Together with the current age structure, the above assumptions will
 
determine the future demographic situation and age structure in Germany.
 
 
Since the trends of the major influencing variables may be predicted to an
 
ever smaller extent with increasing distance from the base date of 1
 
January 1998, such long-term calculations may only have a model character.
 
For periods covering several decades, they are not projections as such, but
 
reflect the implementation of the above assumptions.
 
 
More results of the population projection may be obtained at a price of DM
 
8 from the Statistics Shop of the Federal Statistical Office as part of the
 
data offered on the internet (http://www.statistik-bund.de). Detailed
 
results will be released on a CD-ROM (order number: 8722030, DM 79), which
 
will be issued presumably in late August this year.
