Well I'm not going to withdraw my disagreement, so I respectfully agree to disagree with you. Europe in my opinion is in big trouble.

That's fair enough, time will tell which of us is correct (although admittedly time will probably do it's usual thing and prove us both incorrect )

quote: As far as population and labour forces falling this has been predicted for many, many years - since the 1980's europe's population has been predicted to start to fall in a couple of decades, and again the predicted fall is still 20 years off, as such I think these forecasts are about as relevant as those saying when the oil wil run out (which has been 25-45 years into the future for a century)

This is a little too glib a treatment in my view. The population of Eastern Europe is already falling and the population of Italy is to start falling in a couple of years. We could go down the list. Of course, some are better off than others.
