The map illustrates the total population change across NUTS3 regions in Europe from 2011 to 2019. Notably, Northern and Central Sweden, along with Northern Finland, experienced significant population declines, marked by a decrease of over 10%. In contrast, regions such as Denmark, Iceland, and the Netherlands saw moderate growth, with population increases ranging from 5% to 10%. The majority of regions, including those in the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, exhibited stable population changes, mostly within the 0% to 5% range. This pattern suggests a general trend of population stability across much of Europe, with pockets of both decline and growth. The data highlights the demographic challenges faced by northern regions, possibly due to migration patterns and economic factors, while central and southern regions maintain more balanced population dynamics. The map's color scale effectively conveys these variations, providing a clear visual representation of demographic shifts over the eight-year period.
