Eastern Europe is a region that has a negative demographic trends. The population is going down, and there isn't a single country of this region that actually has a positive population growth. There are several reasons as to why this is happening. One of the main factors in the migration, as these countries are developing countries and they don't offer high wages and good living conditions, lot of people migrate in Western Europe and North America.

The availability of the birth control also had its impact, as the women can be sexually active but not be afraid that they will get pregnant when they don't want to.
