How much of the European population died as a result of the black death?

All the estimates for the post-1348 decline are highly conjectural: the first epidemic is variously estimated to have killed a fifth, a quarter or a third or more Europe-wide: other outbreaks followed for centuries, but the population is thought to have reached its nadir in the late 15th century. One problem is that population tended to recover between epidemics, only to be cut back again. England is reckoned by some to have lost a half of its population over the whole period; some areas of Europe suffered far less. The total may have fallen from 80 million to 55m by the 1470s, with the biggest drop in 1348-53.

Did the black plague lead to labor shortages?
The black death wiped out huge swaths of the European population. As a result the supply of workers was low. When supply is low and demand is high, prices go up. Demand was also diminished (fewer mouths to feed) but not so much as supply, as certain sectors of the population were harder hit, especially the poor- i.e. peasants and serfs. As a result, surviving workers were able to charge more for the services. In the long term, the black death spelled the end of serfdom and paved the way for a stronger and larger middle class.
What two events helped bring about the Renaissance?
The Crusades and the Inventing of the Printing Press. Additionally, the population losses sustained in Europe as a result of the Black Death made it necessary to invent new devices to save human labor.
