Any good books on Europe's demographic

[shimmergal]

problems? Chiefly the less-than-replacement birthrate and the non-assimilated immigrant communities ?

Yes, I know even naming these as problems may offend some DUers. But as a sociology & history person, I also know such conditions can affect much else.

Have been seeking a book or two on them, either of fact-based reportage or from a liberal perspective. But all I can find is loaded with RW propaganda, with a lot of Europe-bashing because of Europeans' dislike of the George Bush regime.

Surely right-wingers aren't the only ones who're studying or writing about these issues? Would very much like to find and read some books on these topics that I can trust a little!

1. Here are a couple of suggestions:

"The social dimension of the European Union..."

Also, you might try the portal of the European Union: http://europa.eu/about-eu/basic-information/index_en.htm

BTW, "social integration" is the current buzz-word in Europe for assimilation.

Happy hunting!
