There are positive demographic trends in the country, but no one talks about them, Associate Professor Georgi Bardarov said in an interview with bTV. The head of the Department of Socio-Economic Geography at Sofia University emphasized that 10 years ago, 20% of young people wanted to stay in Bulgaria, while 80% wanted to emigrate. Now, the figures have reversed – 20% want to leave and 80% want to stay.
According to the scientist, Bulgaria is aligning quite normally with global trends and processes regarding birth rates. "The demographic picture of Bulgaria and Europe today is the same as the demographic picture of the entire world", said Georgi Bardarov.
He noted that the fertility rate in the most populous country, India, is 2.0, while in Bulgaria it is 1.8. "China's fertility rate stands at 1.6", said Associate Professor Bardarov.
