1 The European Union: Geographics and Demographics Dr. Barry Brunt Professional Development Lecture Department of Geography AP Reader Convention University of Cork Cincinnati, Ohio Ireland 2 June, 2015
2 The European Union: The Logic of Geography? In 1950, Robert Schuman declared that European unity has: always been prescribed by geography (but) prevented by history. Prescriptions of geography; - diversity, complementarity, transferability Prevention of history: - Intense nationalism (protectionism, particularism, ethnocentrism) Post WW2: role of history changed - Complements geographic forces and logic of unity
3 In new bi-polar world (USA and USSR) - Europe emerges as a transition region - Divided internally by an iron curtain CEE new formal/functional identities imposed by USSR W. Europe aligns with USA - To protect/promote free market democracies - Recognises economic benefits of US development model - Co-ordinates not compartmentalises economic space
4 First effective move to co-ordinate W. Europe s economies - ECSC (1952) with 6 initial MS Success conditioned by its geography -Proximity of factor inputs and markets -Developed transport systems/removal of border controls
5 Treaty of Rome (1957) creates deeper/broader EEC - Free trade/movement factors of production, common budget/policies - Facilitate economies of scale and comparative advantage EEC the main driver of Europe s long economic boom Confirms economic core of NW Europe Encourages enlargement to 12MS by 1986
6 Despite success major challenges by mid-1980s e.g. recession, nationalism, Euroschlerosis, globalisation To address problems: reconfirm primary economic principles SEA (1987) and SEM (1993) - Centred on four freedoms - Promotion of stronger/new policies (CRP, voting, euro) Co-ordinated in TEU (Maastricht), 1993 Comprehensive treaty embracing deeper/wider Union
7 TEU paves way for enlargement into CEE - via Copenhagen Criteria, Big Bang (+10 NMS); 2013 EU (28) Larger EU but increased socio-economic gradients Increases dependency between core and new peripheries Aggravated by 2008 recession
8 Regional GDP/ca in EU (2012)
9 Enlargements have/will increase EU sphere of influence Influence extending beyond Europe via ENP - New functional relationships with wider periphery - Promotes new dependencies (trade, aid, migration) Exposes EU to new challenges e.g. demographics
10 EU Demographics: A Crisis? Demography is one of the main driving forces of change in Europe (Champion, 1998, p.241) EU: bracing itself for profound changes in its population structures. (European Commission, 2007) EU identified Demographic Change as one of four key challenges in Europe 2020
11 EU Demographic Change ( /00), Decline in growth rates to late 1990s Net migration replaces NI as main influence in 1992 Despite trends, natural changes remain critical - direct impact on total numbers and composition (age profile) - context for influencing migration
12 TREND 1: Natural Increases Births and Deaths (millions) in EU, s significant NI (baby -boomer decade) - Convergent trends for births and deaths - Results in decline in rates of NI - ZPG for EU by mid-1990s (some recent recovery) - NI c. 20% of EU total population growth
13 Natural Changes: National Patterns Death Rate Birth Rate EU (28) Germany France Spain Poland Romania
14 Natural Population Changes : Regional Patterns, 2010
15 Causes of Trends in Natural Change 1a. Declines in DR - Diffusion of healthcare/ social infrastructure - Increase in longevity of life Life Expectancy at birth, EU (28) Male Female b. Declines in BR - Complex cultural, social and economic influences - Reflected in declines in Total Fertility Rates (TFR)
16 Trends/ Patterns of TFR EU (28) Germany France Italy Spain Poland MS > TFR 2.1 for natural replacement TFR = 1.3 identified as dangerously low (2013: 8MS had TFR )
17 Trends: 2. Net Migration for EU, : Migration = 80% of EU population growth : Estimated cumulative net migration > 55M Over 90% net in-migration focussed on EU (15) - initially: Germany, France - more recently: UK, Italy, Spain
18 Causes of Change: Net Migration Within Europe Freedom of movement within enlarging European Union Schengen Agreement confirms a borderless Europe (26MS) Collapse of USSR released large volume of migrants from CEE External to EU Initially a liberal approach we need migrant workers. (pull) Increase in severity/ frequency of wars, famines, disease in surrounding global regions (push) Extension of EU spheres of influence e.g. ENP
19 Consequences of Change 1. Trends in Total Population Millions % change EU(28) EU(15) EU(13) Share of world population (%) EU(28) Slow growth of total population- past/ projected EU(13) will experience population loss Significant decline in share world population Implications for EU in global politics; economy; culture
20 Trends in Total Population: Member States (millions) Germany France UK Italy Spain Ireland Poland Romania
21
22 2. The Greying of Europe Declines in TFR/ greater longevity impact EU age structure EU (28) Population Trends (M) in three age cohorts: % yrs yrs yrs Strong decline in children (esp. CEE: -50%) Slow growth/decline in labour market (-50% for CEE, ) Over 80s will be 1:8 EU population, 2060 Major implications: politics, innovation, social services/conflict
23 3 Dependency Burden of non-active population (<15; 65) on working age cohort (15-64) Old Age Dependency particular problem Old-age dependency ratio, by NUTS2 regions, 2012
24 Old age dependency for 2013: 27% (1:4 ratio) 2060: 53% (1:2 ratio) In 2060 will range from 65% (Poland/Romania) to 36% (Ireland) and 42% UK If add youth dependency (<15 years) - Overall dependency 2013: 50% (1:2 ratio) 2060: 78% (3:4 ratio) Implications: pensions, tax base, budget
25 4. Changing Roles of Migration Europe from global emigrant nursery to host region Reflected in changing scale, composition, geography, attitudes i) Scale Increasing numbers c.80% EU pop. growth now due net migration c.33m migrants in EU (6.5% total pop.) estimate +55M migrants (10.5% total pop.) without migration: EU pop. would be much smaller
26 ii) Composition Changes from dominance of young males to more complex age/gender Key factor to: reduce dependency offset ageing profile increase size of labour market Dr. Barry Brunt
27 Type of migrant also changes - from low-skilled workers to complex range Skilled international migrants Legal worker migrants fill niche markets (1.7M, 2013) Tighter restrictions (recession) on immigration - major growth in asylum seekers c.9m ( ); 0.45M (2013) - and illegals Dr. Barry Brunt
28 iii) Geography of Immigration To 1980s, dominant sources: Med. Europe and former colonies Since 1990 more complex geography of sources/hosts 1. New east to west flows - collapse of USSR - from new eastern periphery to NW core Dr. Barry Brunt
29 Net migration, by NUTS3 regions, 2010
30 2. Redefining traditional south-north flows Med. MS emerge as new host region - Low TFRs, buoyant economies pre 2008, lax controls (pull factors) : 60% EU immigration to Spain, Italy Greece Dr. Barry Brunt
31 Sources extend south/south-east of Med. Sea - new periphery: N. Africa, SSA, Middle East (Balkans) - War, poverty, overpopulation, env. disasters (push factors) World s strongest economic/demographic gradient lies across Med. Sea - Europe s Rio-Grande Dr. Barry Brunt
32 iv) Attitudes Change from: toleration to increasing racism/xenophobia
33
34
35 Three policy options 1. Demographic Renewal Encourage higher TFR/BR Pro-family supports e.g. cash bonuses, tax relief, gender equality Positive experiences e.g. Fr, Sw But medium-term solution
36 2. Obtain Greater Productivity from Existing Population Key: raise employment rates within population Workforce Employment Rates (%) (project) Total Male Female Older Improve education/skill levels - Raise retirement age (active ageism) - Integrate marginal minority groups
37 3. Migration Currently: the big issue for EU Reconcile if migration is a solution or problem EU policy makers see immigration as a benefit e.g. 70% of increased workforce ( ) due to immigrants (flexible, enterprising) Advocate targeting not open door - young, skilled immigrants - more effective integration
38
39 Recession (2008) emphasised need for stronger policy Frontex (2004) EU body to co-ordinate border controls Difficult task - 8,000km land border - 80,000 sea border - 28MS with different attitudes Problems highlighted by surge of illegals crossing Med. Sea Dr. Barry Brunt
40 Dr. Barry Brunt
41 Dr. Barry Brunt
42 Italy: a new frontline state - Shortest sea route from Libya (Lampedusa c.190 miles) Traffickers objective: reach international waters - To be rescued by Italian Navy (Mare Nostrum) Dublin Convention (1997) - Country in which asylum seeker first arrives has responsibility to process Dr. Barry Brunt
43 2015: EU strengthens Operation Triton - Response to increased traffic and drownings - Jan-Apr 2015 c.2,000 drownings (2014:3200; 2000-date > 25,000) 130M for patrol/search and rescue - But MS generally refuse to accept quotas of landed illegals e.g. UK Considering military action against traffickers - improved aid to source countries Difficult to resolve: complex geographies and functional relationships of EU Dr. Barry Brunt
44 Conclusion The demographic crisis confronting the EU has emphasised need to invest heavily in managing human resources The issues, however, are very complex and are unlikely to respond to short-term solutions For the immediate future, demographic problems will remain central for EU development
