Europe’s Growing Muslim Population
Even if all migration into Europe were to immediately and permanently stop – a “zero migration” scenario – the Muslim population of Europe still would be expected to rise from the current level of 4.9% to 7.4% by the year 2050. This is because Muslims are younger (by 13 years, on average) and have higher fertility (one child more per woman, on average) than other Europeans, mirroring a global pattern.
Europe’s Muslim population is diverse. It encompasses Muslims born in Europe and in a wide variety of non-European countries.
