"Europe's population set on shrinking course
The researchers calculate that even if Europe's fertility rate instantly recovered today to replacement levels, the population would continue to fall - from the present 376 million to 360 million by 2100.
If the current fertility rate persists for another 20 years before recovering, Europe's population would fall to 290 million by 2100. "Each decade we delay will knock an extra 25 to 40 million off the population in 2100," says O'Neill."

Maybe the biggest decrease will take place in France.
