European union population ranking

The most populous country in the European Union is Germany.

Germany is the most populous country in the European Union. By 202 1, the population of Germany is about 83 million. Followed by France, with a population of about 67 million. The country with the least population in the EU is Malta, with a population of about 500,000.

As one of the largest economies in Europe, Germany's population is also one of the reasons why the EU ranks first. Germany's population density is also relatively high, with an average of 229 people living per square kilometer, which is also one of the highest in Europe. Germany's population structure is also aging, and the elderly population accounts for a relatively high proportion, which is also a challenge facing Germany.

For other EU countries, due to the influence of their history, culture and economic development level, their populations are also different. For example, some eastern European countries have relatively small populations, which is related to their history, geographical location and economic development level.

Generally speaking, the population situation of EU countries is different, but they all face the same challenges, such as aging and fertility decline, and need to take corresponding policies and measures to deal with them.
