(+) • Since 2011 more people coming to Saxony than leaving (esp. to Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, „education migrants“ [„Bildungswanderer“]) • Since 2010 highest brith-rate of all German „Länder“ (2011: 1,48 Geburten per woman) • Cities of Dresden und Leipzig growing (some of the surrounding suburbs are growing in places) • Population density right at the German average (D=229; Saxony=225) • Longer life in a healthy condition (-) • 2nd with regard to the average age of the population of the German „Länder“ (2011: 47 years) • Rural, peripheral areas regions are shrinkings and ageing relatively fast (border regions to Poland and the Czech Republic etc.) • Population decline esp. In rural areas and industrial areas in decline • Ageing of the people that are economically active (Problem of skilled labour force/ young professionals)

Var. 2 Prognosis Bertelsmann-Foundation

Whereas the decline of population in Saxony is mainly caused by a low birth rate, Hoyerswerda was hit by an „exodus“ since 1990. This „exodus“ is slowing down since 2003. The „birth deficit“ will level at -400 p.a. in Hoyerswerda.

17 Approach in Saxony: structure policy

1. Two administrative reforms on district level since 1990 (1995 und 2008) 2. One statutory municipal territory reform (1998/1999) 3. A wide range administrative- and functional reform(2008) 4. over 800 schools shut down 5. Solid budgetary/fiscal policy (debt per capita 2010: 2.847 € [Bavaria 3.380, Northrhine-Westphalia 12.775) 6. Further adaption measures (cessation of local rail transport, thinning of public transport, urban restructuring (e. g. demolition of accomoodation units)) 7. Further development and expansion of the infrastructures (e.g. Transport, Universties) concentrated in the three big cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz
