DECADES? IT'S OVER:

[T]he eurozone economy may be heading into a rather bleak couple of decades.

Figures released by the European Union's statistics agency Thursday show the 28-member bloc  is running low on children, a trend that is set to continue. People aged less than 15 years accounted for 18.6% of the population in 1994, but just 15.6% in 2014. Eurostat estimates the rate of decline will slow in the coming decades, but just 15% of the population will be children in 2050.
