@asteris In fairness most of MENA hit negative fertility in last 10-15 years too. Still lots of kids but not for long http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2013/demographics-muslims.aspx … -
@randomdijit the demographic boom in MENA was often cited as a leading factor in uprisings. In Greece, decline prolly explains apathy now -
@asteris Mideast is worst of everything. Huge glut of late teens 20s & 30s but child demog. in freefall. Geriatric near-future w/no workers. -
@randomdijit interesting, these trends, if confirmed, would belie populist demagoguery in Europe about the "booming mid-East labor invasion"
