Young people are no longer being born! - Dervishi: Hemorrhage from emigration,

The country's birth rate fell to a historic low in 2025, with 74% fewer births than in 1990.

Sociologist Zyhdi Dervishi calls this a disaster the country is facing, while he cites high emigration as the main reason for depopulation.

According to Dervishi, young people today face great uncertainty, both in terms of their personal and social lives.

If the natural increase in population continues at this rate, according to the expert, Albania will be emptied of its native population in the next 40 years, therefore strong social policies are suggested.
