I looked at some demography statistic. According to the statistics I found Turkey has a population fo 1.06%. In order to grow at the same right Greece, Bulgaria and Vardarska (FYROM) need the following number of children to be born:
- Greece needs 2.56 but that's only if it wants to keep accepting muslim immigrants. If it wants to outpace this immigration to Greece it needs 2.88 children born per women. Currently it is at 1.34.
- Bulgaria needs 4.13 children born per women since Bulgaria has a negative migration rate and a highr death rate. Currently it is 1.38.
- Vardarska needs 2.61 children born per women. Currently it is 1.57.
- Cyprus needs 2.59 or 2.65 if it wants to outpace turkish growth and migration to cyprus. Currently it is 1.82. Although I believe the required statistics are higer since I was unable to find statistics relating to growth in Turkish Cyprus, which I suspect is higher then in Turkey.
- For Serbia statistics needed to determine this could not be found. All I could find is that the current rate is 1.78.
I would also like to know if any one finds statistics on how fast Muslim mnorities are growing in these countries since that would require even more births. I know in Serbia Shqiptars are rising at a rate of 2.77% a year so Serbia clearly needs even higher growth.
