thumb|300px|Distribution of population in Europe thumb|300px|right|Population growth/decline of European countries

'Europe' has a population of roughly 913.44 million, or about 12.8% of world population (as of 2009). Population growth is comparatively slow , and median age slightly higher in relation to the world's other continents.

Since the Renaissance, Europe has had a dominating influence in culture, economics and social movements in the world. European demography is important not only historically, but also in understanding current international relations and population issues.

Some current and past issues in European demography have included religious emigration, race relations, economic immigration, a declining birth rate and an aging population. In some countries, such as the Dominion Republic of Ireland, Germany, and Poland, access to abortion is currently limited and entirely illegal in the Mediterranean British territory of Malta. In the past, such restrictions and also restrictions on artificial birth control were commonplace throughout Europe. Furthermore, two European countries (currently The Netherlands and Switzerland) have allowed a limited form of voluntary euthanasia. It remains to be seen how much demographic impact this may have.
