A new study projects Germany's population will fall by around 1.5 million people by 2045, with disparities between rural and urban areas and between the east and west of the country.

A recent study has projected that Germany's population will decline from approximately 83.3 million people today to around 81.8 million by 2045 — a decrease of roughly 1.5 million people over the next two decades.
Regional Disparities
The study noted that this decline will not be evenly distributed across the country: some rural areas are likely to see sharper population drops compared to major cities, which may maintain relative stability or even slight growth driven by internal and external migration.
The study also pointed to expected differences between the eastern and western states of Germany, reflecting diverging demographic trends and migration patterns between the two halves of the country since reunification.
Economic and Social Implications
The projected population decline raises questions about the future of Germany's labour market, pension system, and public services in a country already facing the challenges of an ageing population among European nations. The study stopped short of prescribing specific policy recommendations, limiting itself to presenting numerical and regional projections.
