Czech population to reach 13 million by 2060

Up to one third of the Czech population will consist of immigrants and their children in 2060, according to an unofficial study conducted by Prague’s University of Economics. The total number of inhabitants will grow to 13 million from the current 10.4 million, the report says. By contrast, a Eurostat study released last week suggests that there will be a decline of some one million people by 2060 compared to current numbers. Experts from Prague’s University of Economics say that the Eurostat report doesn’t consider last year’s statistics.
