Mostly it's because demography is very bad. We had 700 000 kids born yearly in 80s and less than 400 000 in 90s.

But still the "youngest" country in the EU, right? I.e. the country with the most young people.

Also the country with the most independent radio stations and film freaks. And BSD hackers.

Basically we've had the peak in 80s and that generation is now in the most productive years (30s-40s), it's great for economy, but these people will retire in 30 years and the next generations are almost 2 times smaller - it will be hard to balance budget. Especially now that the current government LOWERED the retirement age from 70 to 65 for men and 60 for women.
