📢I’m happy to share that my paper is out in Population and Development Review.😀Central and Eastern Europe’s population change isn’t just about fertility, mortality, and migration — the age structure also played a key role in shaping the region’s demographic trajectory.

Childlessness is no longer marginal. Among women born around 1980, roughly 1 in 4 are childless by their mid-40s in Spain, Greece and Switzerland. Hungary is also near the top, at 22%. At the other end, the share is around 10% or lower in Romania, Portugal, Iceland and Bulgaria.

Hungarian women born in 1979 had fewer than 1.6 children by age 45. Among cohorts born roughly 15 years earlier, the figure was still around 2.

In some regions of Hungary, induced abortions in 2024 reached almost 50% of the number of live births -roughly one abortion for every two babies born.

Demography matters. It was a pleasure to discuss the key demographic trends shaping Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe with Csaba László on Jazzy Radio. (In Hungarian.)

Abortions in Hungary fell by one-fifth in Jan–Apr 2026. Abortions per 100 live births also dropped markedly, meaning a smaller share of pregnancies ended in induced abortion. But this coincided with a sharp decline in fertility and births, pointing to fewer pregnancies overall—not more babies.

Hungary has returned to the Western world. 😀
Portugal is surprisingly Eastern European. I must say that “herbata” makes perfect sense. HT @xruiztru

Emigration from Hungary reached a new record in 2024 and remained close to 40,000 in 2025.
The number of Hungarians leaving the country in the last two years was more than double the pre-pandemic level, amounting to almost 0.5% of the total population each year.

Hungary could lose nearly 4 million people by the end of the century if today’s extremely low fertility rate (1.3) persists. The population would shrink from 9.5 million to just 5.8 million by 2100.

In 2024, 58% of children born in Vienna had a mother born abroad.
For Austria as a whole, the figure was 36%.
About half of foreign-born mothers came from the EU, especially Germany, Romania and Hungary. The rest came from non-EU countries such as Syria, Bosnia, Turkey and Serbia.

Significant but shrinking fertility gap in Austria:
Foreign-born women still have higher fertility than native-born women, but the difference is narrowing. In 2024, their higher fertility of foreign-born women pushed Austria’s overall Total Fertility Rate up by about 0.1.

The number of children that mothers give birth to is stable or even rising. But the proportion of women who have any children at all has fallen steeply in the past 15 years.
