Catalonia, like the rest of neighboring countries has a varied demographic. aging population Until the sixteenth century the territory is within the population dynamics characteristic of the Old Regime, periodic aging population population loss as a result of hunger, epidemics, wars ... It is from the s. XVI and very concrete s. Eighteenth witnessing a sustained recovery of the population. Agricultural and commercial development, the reduction of epidemics and other factors related to food hygiene and encourage this process.
The twentieth century demographic dynamics Catalan is varied at the beginning of s. XX vegetative growth and positive migration waves (1900-30) allow a positive population balance. The Civil War (1936-39) and the postwar aging population period (1939-50) stop this growth will have to wait until the period 1950-75, with the second wave of immigrants from different parts of the state to participate in a new recovery which will triple the Catalan population. aging population From the last quarter century and source of strong economic crisis (1973 oil crisis) aging population occurs again stagnation. At the end of the century until the 2008-09 economic boom attracts a wave of newcomers that will print a new impetus to the Catalan population growth.
Currently the structure of the Catalan population has common features with the rest of Europe. Between aging population 1996 and 2007 birth did not stop growing, as a result of the children of people born between 1970 and 1980 (population explosion) and the children of the constant flow of immigrants (20% born during aging population the period). This growth cycle is giving signs of exhaustion because generations are likely to have fewer children and the economic crisis (2007) is bringing a halt to immigration.
Meanwhile mortality is between 8 and 9 , reaching lows, while the life expectancy increases, the result is a very aged population, 21% of Catalans has more than 65 years and that 12% more than 85 years.
The reasons for the situation we found: The low Fecunditatis (from 1980) between 1.1 and 1.5 children per woman aging of the population, life expectancy aging population for men is 79 years and for women 85. The extension of maternity age first child around 31 years. The increase in mortality as a result of the aging of the population. The economic crisis. aging population
Observing the structure of the population (population pyramid of Catalonia 2011) observed a number of common aging population features with neighboring countries: an aging population and a high rate of male (age 30-35 years) accordingly migration flows in recent years.
As can be seen, the profile of the pyramid shows a developed country with a low birth rate and high life expectancy. However there are some peculiar characteristics, the slight expansion of the base, an increase in the birth rate thanks in part to immigration from abroad. However, the width of the peak is due to the continuous rise in life expectancy indicates
a gradual aging of the Catalan population (the aging index was 110 in 2010). This situation has led in recent years the need to create or expand aging population new services and facilities in the fields of education, pediatric health, social policies and health (nursing homes, day centers).
In terms of regional distribution regions are aging more interior (the Pre-Pyrenees and the area between the Terra Alta and Conca de Barbera) due to declining farming population. Also the old areas of the foothills with industrial activity.
Catalonia has 7.513 million inhabitants with a density of 232 ha / km2 and demographic weight of 16% of the Spanish population. This volume demographic Distributors
