Are you surprised how many or how few children there are in a region in Europe?

Interesting that you can almost see east and west germany on the map.
please show me a similar statistical map where you can see no difference between east and west Germany :-( i think German reunification did not work out as intended, many mistakes were made…
You can also clearly see the shapes of Saxony and Thuringia. But something is wrong in Oberfranken and Unterfranken…
Oh it sadly was intended that way. Nothing was united. It was just annexed and scolded.
Aw when I saw Ireland, I was thinking the UK was on this map… then remembered the past half decade and got sad.
(I voted to stay a European 😔)
Wow, how come Italy and Portugal have so few?
At least for Italy it’s probably related to the very low birthrates
I was wondering as well. The major factor seems to be immigration and both Italy and Portugal should have plenty of that.
Lacking in traditional family values.
for anyone not aware: that was probably sarcastic. Italy has probably the most traditional family values in all of europe.
Was obvious to me but yeah sarcasm and Internet
Lemmy is typically better than average in detecting it. I am surprised this one didn’t land. 😂
I did not see % and was surprised by the amount of 18+ 17 year olds.
Yes, it would be clearer if the % was after each category in the legend.
Watch out for the Saarland. Seems that people are older there than in the rest of South-West Germany. “Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis allemandes”. gg
Interesting, in my part of Europe this coincides with developing and dynamic regions (a lot of employment, culture and progress).
Wonder if movement or birth rates affect the percentage the most?

So is this a map of retirement migration? Social and economic security? Long winters?

Why no UK data?
Because the UK do not provide data to Eurostat, they usual just collect data from national statistic institutes. Furthermore, GB is neither a member of the EU nor the EFTA.
I read this kind of comment not the first time, and it annoys me a bit. It sounds almost always like an accusation, that the statistics is wrong, or someone likes to bully especially the UK.
The one to blame here are the British people and the British government, because they are responsible for their policies and politics and BREXIT.The UK likes to cook their own soup, which they keep repeating very often in the last few years…
But I guess there is data available somewhere maybe one creates a map especially for the UK.

seems to be an EU survey not a Europe survey
Then why are Switzerland and Norway there?
Good point, amendment: Seems to be a EU + EFTA (European Free Trade Agreement) survey not a Europe survey
What about old people aged 0-17 years old?
