27% of Bulgarians would emigrate abroad and for more than half of them the main reason would be a better opportunity for work, according to a study by the Trend research center, carried out in the period September 5-11 and commissioned by MEP Sergey Stanishev.

The study was presented in Sofia at a forum on the demographic situation in the country, organized by the delegation of Bulgarian socialists in the European Parliament. For 76% of respondents, low income is the main reason why young people postpone having children, while according to just over 50%, the reason for this is the lack of security.

The research also shows that nearly 60% of Bulgarians do not engage in sports. Every year, Bulgaria loses population, equal to that of a regional city. If this trend continues, by 2050 the country's population will be under 5 million people.
