Population forecast: Federal state development until 2040
New calculations indicate that the population development in the German federal states will change significantly by 2040. According to this data, one region in particular is affected by a drastic decline in population, while the population in the federal capital is expected to grow the most. This trend is linked to the general demographic phenomenon of aging that affects the entire country.
The exact reasons for these developments are varied and depend on various factors, including birth rates, life expectancy, immigration and emigration. The population composition in the individual federal states could change significantly in the coming years, which could also have an impact on the economy, the health system and the infrastructure.
It is crucial that policymakers and other relevant stakeholders take these forecasts into account and take appropriate measures to deal with the challenges associated with a shrinking or growing population. Only through well-founded strategies and investments can negative impacts be mitigated and opportunities used to maintain or even improve the quality of life for all residents in the affected federal states.
It will therefore be crucial to monitor these developments closely and act early to mitigate the long-term impact on society and the economy. By analyzing various scenarios in detail and taking appropriate measures, the federal states can be better prepared for the upcoming changes in the population structure.
