RESUME
Our Demographic Fears: Global Population Explosion or a Declining, Aging Population?
Our questions about youth are predominantly future-oriented. Looking to the future, we can see that while we used to be primarily concerned with the shock effects of overpopulation, today we are talking more and more about the fact that families and other communities have become unstable, in some cases even disintegrated, and that young people are having fewer and fewer children. The old continent is thus aging and declining not only in name but also in population, placing a heavy burden on future generations. Even in the short term, one of the most pressing questions in Europe is what young people will do with this difficult legacy. The focus is mostly on maintaining
the functioning of welfare societies, but it is also a matter of survival for nations and ethnic minorities. The latter is the subject of a research project on families living abroad, conducted by the Maria Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS) in collaboration with the Youth Research Institute and the Research Institute for Hungarian
Communities Abroad. The aim of our introductory study, which accompanies the issue presenting the results of the research, is to review international trends, using the construct of demographic pseudo-trends as a theoretical framework.
