Sure, a well-known process.

I think in the Baltic states this is magnified by population decrease and internal EU migration.

Population:

I think the population decrease numbers can be multiplied by 2 if you take EU emigration into account.

I see it as the biggest long-term problem Lithuania is facing. The country is not that big and crowded to begin with, and in 20-30 years it's projected to be even smaller.

And the society is just not ready for the obvious solution - immigrants.
