Can you suggest why the population of Europe is extead to decrease when the rest the world is increasing?
The population of Europe is declining mainly due to a low birthrate and a high emigration rate (which is present in Eastern Europe). Only two European countries have a fertility rate over 2: Ireland and France. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union and communism (and truly since after the Great War), there has been massive emigration in Eastern Europe. Most countries in Eastern Europe have a negative population growth rate, such as the Ukraine or Bulgaria. This is due to thousands of people leaving the country annually (and not even people coming in to counter out the balance), as well as high Death Rate and low birthrate. Western Europe's population growth rate is actually around the world's growth rate, perhaps around 0.8%. This is mainly due to high Immigration rates, but these countries also have positive birthrates compared to death rates. Anyways, this is not enough to carry Europe as a whole and Europe's population growth is about -0.05%.
Since Europe has an overall negative population growth rate, the population is expected to decrease. However, this is only if things keep going the way they are, which it's likely it won't. Once Europe gets back on its feet from this economic downturn, you're most likely to see a rising European population (which may rise above world average). Usually, when a country experiences a large economic boom, the population growth rises. For example, take the US after WWII. Today, most Europeans only have one child due to their working conditions. Laws in Europe make it difficult to have a long enough period of maternity leave, which means no one would be likely to take care of their own child without losing their job and income.

What are some of the possible consequences for Europe of population stagnation or decline?
Europe's population is still very, very slightly increasing, but not until November 2011, where it will reach it's highest and start declining for the first time in 700 years. Altough many European countries like Germany are already decreasing in population today, while other countries like France, the United-Kingdom or Ireland are still increasing in population, and account for almost 100 % of Europe's very slim population gain. Europe's population loss will be mostly due to an aging population and a low birthrate.
