If Europe doesn't see the birth rate return to replacement levels, its population is at risk of dwindling.

One of Scotland's struggles includes the threat of a shrinking population, with recent figures showing births at 26,335 while deaths reached 35,260 between January and July 2025. That's 34% more deaths than births. How can Scotland thrive under such demographic pressure?
