The Demographic Situation in Germany. An Overview

Summary/Abstract: Germany is a state that now belongs to the category of states with Lowest Fertility Rates from a comparative perspective. The conditions for this situation are to be found in the early '70 of the XX century. The interplay between fertility rates, mortality rates and migration can help us to understand and explain this demographic phenomenon. It is clear that the decline of population was counterbalanced by immigration. But it seems that this resource is not able any more to stop the numeric reduction of population and the process of over-aging of the age structure of the population from Germany. Effective social and pronatalistic policies are needed in the future.
