**POPULATION CHANGE**
** //Source: Eurostat//  Within 2001 and 2005, the general trend of the population change in Europe underlines two facts: · The East and North parts of Europe gets a negative ratio of population change · The Central, West and South parts of Europe a positive ratio
 * Global Change

//But what are the reasons for these changes?// **

Natural Change ** //Source: Eurostat//  The Natural population change is the balance between the births and the deaths; this graph describes the following ratio: live births minus deaths, over the years 2001-2005.

Few trends can be observed, among them a global one which would be to say that the Western Europe gets a positive ratio. But if we have a look further in details, this ratio can be quite different, and some time opposite among the regions in each country. For example Spain is the most representative of this phenomenon: The North-Western regions (Asturias, Castilla y Leon, Galicia…) get a strong negative ratio, while the South-Eastern regions (Andalucia, Catalunia, Valencia…) a positive one. And the cartography for France is quite different as well: almost all of the regions get a positive one, but the 2 central regions of France a negative one.

Net Migration Change ** //Source: Eurostat//  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">Within the years 2001-2005, this is observable the net migration ratio is widely positive in the Southern and Western parts of Europe. People from Eastern and Northern are, as a global trend, leaving their regions. Spain, Italy, France and Ireland are the most attractive countries. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); text-align: left; display: block;">
