With the exception of Pest and Gir-Moson-Sopron counties, the population will decrease everywhere.

By 2050, nearly one-tenth of Hungarians could be gone if they fail to reverse negative demographic trends. Based on Eurostat analysis Growth.com In Hungary, almost without exception, the population will decrease in the next 30 years.

The population may shrink by 82,000 in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, 77,000 in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, 61,000 in Békés County, and 51,000 in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County over the next 30 years. The number of people living in the capital could be reduced by 30,000. Only Pest and Győr-Moson-Sopron show growth.

For Hungarians to survive, it will be necessary for the TFR to rise to 2.1 people from 1.55 in 2018. By comparison, the index is 1.46 in Poland and 1.77 in the Czech Republic. In other words, a woman should give birth to 2.1 children so that the population of Hungary does not decrease.

Based on demographic processes, Hungary is in the center of the Federation.
