Population of Europe

More than 700 million people lived in the territory of Foreign Europe in 2016. The population of the region has been increasing, especially in the last 10 years, due to the influx of migrants from developing countries.

Note 1

Migrants are distributed unevenly across European countries; in those countries where their flow is more intense, the population is increasing. In countries with little immigration, the population gradually declines due to low natural growth.

In this regard, the exception is Albania, where natural increase is quite high. Historically, the population in the region was concentrated where better conditions for living, where you can engage in agriculture, and this, naturally, is the southern regions of Europe.

In the Middle Ages, socio-economic factors began to come to the fore and the northwestern parts of the region became densely populated.

Figure 1. Population density in Europe. Author24 - online exchange of student work

Today, small countries have the maximum population density, for example, the Netherlands, where per 1 sq. km there are 390 people, in Belgium – 320 people per square meter. km.

• Test Population density in Europe 220 rub.

In northwestern Germany, northeastern France, and southeastern Great Britain, the density reaches 1000 people per square meter. km. These territories are part of the Rhineland, English megalopolises and the Paris agglomeration. The concentration of the urban population in these areas is associated with the development of post-industrial sectors of the economy.

Within the European region there are microstates whose population density is very high, for example, Malta, San Marino, Monaco. The leading sector of the economy of these countries is tourism.

One of the smallest European states is the Principality of Monaco, located on an area of ​​2.02 square meters. km. In 2016, 32,087 people lived in this small territory, hence the density in the country is about 17 thousand people per square meter. km.

Towards the north-east of Europe, population density decreases noticeably. In Iceland, which occupies the northernmost position among European countries, the interior is almost uninhabited, and the average population density is about 10 people per square meter. km.

For the Nordic countries, there are also internal contrasts in the distribution of the population. In southern Finland, for example, the population density is more than 50 people per square meter. km, while in the north of the country the density is less than 1 person per square meter. km.

There are differences in population density in those countries where there are mountains, these areas tend to have very low population densities.

Of the European countries, Germany is the largest state in terms of population; 82.8 million people live on its territory, and the average density is 230 people per square meter. km. The densely populated Rhine metropolis stands out here. The density indicator nowhere here falls below 50 people per square meter. km.

The second largest population belongs to Great Britain, where 66.0 million people lived in 2017. Throughout almost the entire country, with the exception of the northern highlands of Scotland, the density remains at around 100 people per square meter. km. The maximum density in the southeast of the country is about 1000 people per square meter. km.

The population of France is 65.2 million people, and the population density will be higher in the outlying territories of the country - more than 100 people per square meter. km. The central part of France is less populated and the density will be lower - less than 50 people per square meter. km.

Another large European country in terms of population is Italy, where 60.4 million people live. The maximum population density here is observed in the Po River valley - up to 1000 people per square meter. km. The mountainous regions in the center and north of the country are sparsely populated, and accordingly, the population density in some places is less than 10 people per square meter. km.

Population of major European cities

There are about 40 millionaire cities on the territory of Foreign Europe.

These are, first of all, the capitals of European states:

• London (8.8 million),
• Berlin (about 4.0 million),
• Madrid (3.2 million),
• Rome (2.8 million people),
• Paris (2.2 million).

Other capitals are Budapest, Bucharest. Vienna, Warsaw, Belgrade have smaller populations - from 1.5 to 2.1 million people.

Athens is home to 950 thousand people, but together with the suburbs and the port of Piraeus, the population of this conglomerate increases sharply and amounts to more than 3 million people.

Cities such as Warsaw, Budapest, Paris are densely populated and have a high population density. Berlin and Madrid are large both in terms of the number of inhabitants and the area they occupy.

An extensive urban network is characteristic of Central Europe, and the urban agglomerations of Northern and Southern Europe have a well-defined coastal character.

The lowest rates of urbanization are observed in the east of Foreign Europe.

Despite the fact that 75% of the population lives in cities, Foreign Europe has lost its leadership in urbanization processes. The overall urbanization rate per year is 0.5%.

Today, according to scientists, a new type of agglomeration is emerging, called interstate megalopolises.

In Western Europe, this type covered 5 countries - England, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, on an area of ​​230 thousand square meters. km. 85 million people live within this zone.

Also characteristic is the replacement of urbanization processes with other processes that will become the basis for new types of agglomerations.

Among them are the following types:

suburbanization, associated with the process of moving citizens to suburban areas;

an increase in the number of small towns far from industrial centers;

the process of deurbanization is the opposite of urbanization; the process of ruralization associated with the outflow of population to countryside.

Demographic problems of Foreign Europe

For countries Western Europe and is typical for the region as a whole a common problem associated with “population aging”.

Figure 2. Demographic problems Foreign Europe. Author24 - online exchange of student work

On the one hand, life expectancy increases, and on the other hand, natural growth decreases, which remains at 1.5%.

As forecasts of experts in the field of demography show, the population of Europe by 2050 will decrease by 30 million people, and the number of pensioners over 80 years of age will increase.

A population decline of 19% is expected in Romania and Germany, the population of Bulgaria will decrease by 27%, in Latvia the population is projected to decrease by 26%, and in Lithuania by 20%.

It is particularly difficult demographic situation in Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, the fertility rate and birth rate in these countries is the lowest.

The mortality rate in European countries is significantly lower compared to the former Soviet republics, but higher than the world average and amounts to 10 people per 1000 population.

Expanded reproduction is observed in several European countries - Albania, France, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Macedonia. In other countries, reproduction is of a narrowed nature, or “zero”, which does not ensure the replacement of generations.

In addition, 11 countries have negative natural growth - Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Germany, Estonia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia. Experts believe that these countries have already entered the stage of depopulation.

Note 2

In countries of Eastern Europe The deterioration of the demographic situation is associated with low birth rates, high mortality rates, and negative natural increase. But not only purely demographic factors influence the current demographic situation, but also socio-economic difficulties, changes in social systems, and political instability in many of them.

The population on Earth is unevenly distributed. There are countries with the highest population density, while others are sparsely populated.

Population density is an indicator that shows the number of people living per 1 square kilometer. km. You can also calculate the population density separately for the city and for rural areas.

All countries, depending on the number of inhabitants per 1 sq. km, are divided into 4 groups:

• with the lowest population density;
• with an average;
• densely populated states;
• with the highest density.

Taking into account population density helps determine the required amount of material goods per capita.

Population density indicator value

When determining population density, seas, oceans and uninhabited areas are not taken into account. The population of a territory may differ not only on one continent, but also within one country.

The rate of population of a territory by people can be influenced by the following factors:

• proximity to the sea;
• climatic conditions;
• relief of the territory;
• agriculture and crop growing;
• birth rate;
• economic and industrial development.

Man has always often changed his habitat in order to find better living conditions. Due to the lack of many benefits ( transport accessibility, availability of infrastructure, drinking water), many people migrate to other states where conditions are much better.

Top 10 States with the Highest Population Density

Countries with the highest population densities are distinguished by the fact that they have a small territory in which many people live.

The 10 most populated states are:

About 730 thousand people live in the country.

Population Density Outlook

Every year the population on Earth is increasing. This leads to the fact that previously uninhabited territories are gradually occupied by people for living. Many species of animals and plants are disappearing. People strive to move to highly developed countries to improve their lives and find decent work.

This leads to overpopulation of cities and states and a struggle for resources.

The populations living in the countries with the highest densities are distributed unevenly. Most live in cities, and in rural areas the number of people per 1 sq. km. the territory is low.

1. Organizational moment. Self-determination for activity (goal setting)

Hello guys. In the previous lesson we started getting acquainted with European countries.

The topic of our lesson today is “Population of Foreign Europe”. (Slide 1)

More than 40 states on the map of Europe are as different as Europe itself: ancient and young, with old castles and modern cities, with a raging sea and calm surface of lakes, with flower beds and pastures, with a population speaking dozens of languages.

Population...Behind this in a simple word hidden are the fates of millions of people who lived hundreds, thousands of years ago. They live now and will live in the future. What concepts related to population are you already familiar with?

fertility, mortality, density, national, gender and age composition, migration, employment. All this will make our task easier - to characterize the population of Europe. Today we must demonstrate our knowledge, creativity, and the ability to cogently express our point of view. (Slide 2)

1.The population of Foreign Europe is 740 million people. (Slide3) This region has a very complex and not very favorable demographic situation. Compared to the world, it has the lowest birth rate and natural increase rates. (Slide4) Demographers call this phenomenon demographic winter. In most countries in the region, there is a downward trend in the birth rate. As a result, according to 2014 data average The birth rate is 11 people per 1000 inhabitants (Russia – a little over 11 people). The reasons for this low birth rate are varied. But the main ones should be considered the general demographic processes. (Slide 5) This is an increase average duration life (76 years), (in Russia - 65, women - 73, men - 59) a sharp increase in the “price” of a child, the influence of an urban lifestyle, the fragility of the family, the weak influence of religion. In addition, there are political, social and other problems that are shaking modern Europe. The mortality rate, which averages 11 per 1,000 inhabitants for the entire region, is higher than the world average. The result of this is an aging population and a violation of gender composition. (Slide 6) But one cannot ignore such factors as industrial injuries, occupational diseases, accidents, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc. More than 100,000 people die and more than 2 million are injured on European roads every year. Since this applies to a greater extent to men, the number of men in Europe is significantly lower than the number of women. .

Exercise 1. Before you lies the table “Reproduction of the Population of Foreign Europe”. Analyze the table. In the route map, indicate the countries that are leaders in terms of fertility, mortality, and natural increase (1 g). 2 gr. – indicate the countries that have the lowest rates of fertility, mortality and natural increase. Try to draw a conclusion. (3 min.) (Slide7, 8, 9)

2.By national composition (Slide 10) The population of Europe is relatively homogeneous. Representatives of 80 ethnic groups live in Europe. (map at the end of the textbook) The majority of the population belongs to the Indo-European language family. The most numerous groups are Slavic (Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Bulgarians, Russians, Ukrainians, Croats..), Germanic (Swedes, Germans, English, Dutch, Icelanders...), Romanesque (French, Italians, Spaniards, Romanians, Portuguese. .). In Europe there are languages ​​of the Uralic family, spoken by Finns, Estonians, Hungarians, etc.

Remember which countries are called single-national and which are multinational?

Task 2.

Which European countries belong to each of these groups? Analyze the atlas map, additional information, and present the results in the form of a table in the route map.

In Europe there are many states with a complex national composition, in which there is an aggravation of interethnic relations. Let's listen to the report that I have prepared for you

3.(Slide 11) In Foreign Europe, the dominant religion is Christianity. IN Southern Europe Catholicism predominates, the center of which is in the Vatican. In Northern Europe - Protestantism, and in Central Europe these faiths are represented almost equally. Orthodoxy is practiced by the population of Eastern and Southeast Europe. This is the population of countries such as Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Montenegro.

Islam is practiced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and the partially recognized republic of Kosovo. Recently, the Islamic factor has been strengthening due to the influx of migrants from Islamic countries.

4. (Slide 12) Foreign Europe is one of the most densely populated regions of the world. The average population density is 100 people per 1 km2. But the population is distributed unevenly from 3 people. per 1 km 2 in Iceland up to 406 people - in the Netherlands. The highest density in Monaco is 15,000 people. The distribution of the population is determined primarily by the geography of cities. The level of urbanization in Europe is one of the highest in the world. In Belgium it is 99%, in Denmark – 87%, in France – 78%. The total number of cities reaches several thousand; they are located compactly and form agglomerations.

Using the atlas map, (page 15 of the atlas) additional information classify European countries into highly, moderately and highly urbanized. Present the results in the form of a diagram in the route map. ( individually) (5 minutes). (Slide 13,14,15,16,17,18)

5. Since the time of the Great Geographical Discoveries, foreign Europe has been the main supplier of migrants overseas. (Slide19 Currently, Europe is the main center of gravity for labor. At the end of the 90s, the number of migrants in the countries of the European Union alone, according to some data, exceeded 20 million people, and Europe’s share in the total volume of world migrations increased to 20%. This number includes migrants for various reasons, but the bulk of newcomers are labor migrants, the so-called guest workers. The influx of migrants has led to aggravation of many social contradictions, both in the labor market and in general demographically, which is associated with a much greater natural increase in migrant families and an increase in their share in general population.

They conclude that the level of urbanization in the countries of Southern Europe is quite low. This is due to the fact that this region has favorable conditions for development Agriculture, traditions are preserved large families etc.).

Give a definition of migration, types, reasons for migration.

Students fill out the migration table in the appendix and draw conclusions that there is a pattern between countries of emigration and immigration. Countries of emigration are countries of former colonies, countries of immigration are countries of the metropolis. Appendix 3.

The video lesson is dedicated to the topic “Population of Europe”. This lesson will help you develop knowledge about the population of the region and identify patterns in the formation of the population of Foreign Europe. The teacher will tell you about the main characteristics of the European population and give examples of the largest nations.

Subject: Regional characteristics peace. Foreign Europe

Lesson: Population of Europe

The population of Europe is more than 500 million people. The region has a rather difficult demographic situation.

Recently, the population of foreign Europe has begun to increase very slowly. This is explained by the fact that the reproduction of the region’s population is characterized by a difficult demographic situation. In some countries it even happens natural decline population. At the same time, the age composition of the population is changing, and the proportion of older people is growing.

Characteristic of almost all European countries modern type population reproduction. Countries with minimal indicators natural increase(population decline): Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary.

Rice. 1. Map of population growth/decline in European countries (green - population growth, red - decline). ()

All this led to a sharp change in the region’s share in the global system of external population migrations. Having been the main center of emigration since the Great Geographical Discoveries, foreign Europe has become the world's main center of labor immigration. Now there are 18 - 20 million foreign workers, a significant part of whom are not citizens, but temporary guest workers (in German, “guest workers”).

In terms of national composition, the population of foreign Europe is relatively homogeneous: the vast majority of the 62 peoples of the region belong to the Indo-European language family. At the same time, related languages ​​of the Slavic, Romance, and Germanic groups have significant similarities. The same is true for the languages ​​of the Uralic family. However, the ethnic map of the region, which has evolved over thousands of years, is not so simple. Along with single-national ones, there are many states with a complex national composition.

Types of state by national composition:

Uninational (i.e. the main nationality is over 90%). There are most of them in Europe (Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Italy, Portugal),

With a sharp predominance of one nation, but with the presence of more or less significant minorities (Great Britain, France, Spain, Finland, Romania);

Binational (Belgium);

Multinational countries with a complex and ethnically diverse composition (Switzerland, Latvia, etc.).

In many countries there are complex problems of interethnic relations: Great Britain, Spain (Basques), France (Corsica), Belgium, Cyprus, etc.

The most common languages ​​in Foreign Europe: French, German, Italian, English.

In all countries of foreign Europe, the dominant religion is Christianity. In Southern Europe, Catholicism sharply predominates, in Northern Europe - Protestantism; and in the Middle they are in different ratios. The world center of Catholicism, the Vatican, is located in Rome. In the southeastern and eastern countries Foreign Europe professes Orthodoxy. Islam is practiced in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Foreign Europe is one of the most densely populated regions of the world. Moreover, the distribution of the population in it is primarily determined by the geography of cities. The level of urbanization here is one of the highest in the world: on average, 74%, and in some countries, more than 80% and even 90% of the total population live in cities. Total number There are many thousands of cities, and their network is very dense. Gradually, over thousands of years, a Western European type of city emerged, the roots of which go back to the times of the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages.

A characteristic feature of the urbanization of foreign Europe is a very high concentration of the population in cities and urban agglomerations. The largest of them are London, Paris and Rhine-Ruhr. In the 70s after the period rapid growth cities and agglomerations began an outflow of population from their centers (nuclei), first to the near and distant suburbs, and then to more distant small towns and rural areas (“green wave”). As a result, the number of residents in the central areas of London, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, Milan and many other cities either stabilized or even began to decline. This process is called suburbanization in science.

The largest number of migrants go to the following countries: France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria. In addition, foreign Europe is characterized by migration within the region - and from east to west.

According to the latest data, on average, about seven billion people live on the globe. Their placement is characterized extreme unevenness: lives in one part of the world more people, in the other - less. Today we are talking about the average population density of Foreign Europe.

General information

Before moving on to the topic “Density of Overseas Europe”, the concepts of “Overseas Europe” and “population density” should be defined. The countries of Foreign Europe include 40 sovereign states located on the European part of the Eurasian continent.

The term “population density” refers to the ratio of the number of inhabitants per 1 sq. km. Calculated this indicator using the following formula: the population of a country, region, or world is divided by the total land area that is favorable for habitation.

So, if we divide the population of planet Earth - 6.8 billion people, by its total area - 13 million square meters. km, then we get an average population density of 52 people per 1 sq. km.

Rice. 1 Population density of Europe on the map

Population of Europe

Foreign Europe is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. If we take for comparison the average population density per globe- 52 people per 1 sq. km, then a completely different picture emerges here - more than 100 people per 1 sq. km. km. In addition, the distribution of people in Europe is relatively uniform: there are no unpopulated or large sparsely populated regions. Distinctive feature settlement in Europe is also the urbanization of the population. In other words, there are tens of times more citizens than residents rural settlements(more than 70%, and in Belgium 98%).

Countries of Foreign Europe

The population density of the countries of Foreign Europe is presented in the following table:

Countries can be divided into three groups based on population density:

• High density (more than 200 people per 1 sq. km): Belgium, Germany, Great Britain and others;
• Average density (from 10 to 200 people per 1 sq. km): Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France and others;
• Low density (up to 10 people per 1 sq. km): Iceland.

As can be seen from the table, the northern territories of Europe - Finland, Sweden, Norway - are sparsely populated. This is due, first of all, to unfavorable natural and climatic conditions for life and economy. In contrast, population concentrations are observed in Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and further south to the Mediterranean coast, where geographical position(access to the sea), relief, climate are favorable for the development of agriculture, trade, and industry.

The population density of Monaco is 16,500 people per 1 sq. km, is the highest not only in Europe, but also in the whole world.

Rice. 3 Monaco is the most crowded place on the planet

What have we learned?

Foreign Europe includes 40 countries, the average population density of which is 100 people per 1 sq. km. This figure is quite high. In general, the settlement of people in Europe is uniform. IN this region There is only one country with low population density - Iceland.
