Abstract: People from the European Union are living longer than before, as a result, population growth is slowing down, while population aging accelerates. Having this as a starting point, the purpose of the article is to investigate birth and death in parallel, in order to obtain a prediction on the number of live births and the crude death rate, for the upcoming decades. The method used was simple linear regression and it revealed a consistently decrease on both health indicators, reaching an almost equal value in 2035. Postponing childbirth until a women reaches the age of 30 and growing, consistent rise in the number of abortions among adolescent girls, diminution of the fertile population versus surging population over 65 years old, are all factors that explain the aging of the European population
