Bulgaria’s Population is Shrinking
保加利亞的人口正在減少
Bulgaria, a southeastern country in the European Union, is one of the world’s fastest shrinking countries. In the last forty years, the population of Bulgaria has fallen from 9 to 7 million. Young people often leave the country for postsecondary studies and do not return for several years. Approximately 1 million Bulgarians currently live abroad. Bulgarians are also having fewer children. Despite the shrinking population, some Bulgarians do return after realizing that they miss some aspects of home, including the culture and relaxed pace of living.
保加利亞是歐盟的東南部國家,是世界上人口減少最快的國家之一。在過去的40年里,保加利亞的人口從900萬下降到了700萬。年輕人經常出國深造,幾年后才回國。目前大約有100萬保加利亞人生活在國外。保加利亞人生孩子也越來越少。雖然人口在減少,但一些保加利亞人在意識到他們想念家鄉的某些方面,包括文化和悠閑的生活節奏后,還是回到了保加利亞。
