A few things to note. The immigration is not enough to replenish the shrinking EU. Woe to the EU pensioners.
The fact that Sweden is one of the rare exceptions (along with Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, and Cyprus) is, contrary to what many may think, due to our muslim immigrants. Fertile as they may be they are still a small minority. No, the fact that the Swedish birth numbers haven't fallen so drastically have other more complex reasons.
It probably has to do with the timing of the integration of women in the labour market (earlier than in most European countries), the availability of child care etc, etc.

Once France is successful at dragging all of Europe into the European Union, these numbers will rise dramitically.

Sweden will become a Muslim Country.

Advice to Europeans: Have babies. Sacrifice the hedonistic, childless, pleasure-chasing existence that characterizes young European couples in favor of one that will pay dividends for generations. Marry within your own culture -- if you think it's worth preserving, that is.

With our present crop of "pols" - yes.
But I'm the eternal optimist and believe that things will change.

Yes... What are the population predictions for the States? As I understand, it is to only go up here for all of the forseeable future, right? And what factors contribute to our rise in population? And is a rise in population over a period of time necessarily desirable? As I understand, Europe contains over a BILLION people. If it was one country, in density it would exceed most. Perhaps it is not a bad thing.

Things will get interesting in Europe much sooner than 2050. For starters, I think that there's good chance that the majority of children in Europe will be Muslim by 2030. That may not be too bad in and of itself, but unfortunately for the pensioners, these children will grow up.
At some point early in their working careers these Muslims are going to realize that they are the majority of young adults, and then start wondering why they have to pay 50% or more in taxes support hundreds of millions of old, white, people.
Then the fun begins...

From what I have heard, their decent birthrates are due to significan incentives to families with children including direct payouts, and childcare/healthcare subsidies.

Your last question really captures the problem: These people have been indoctrinated since pre-school that their nations and culture are not worth preserving. Even worse, they've been taught that their culture is responsible for all of the evil in the world. That's why they must embrace the "other" - the "noble savages" and allow them en masse into their own homelands.
In Malmo, Sweden - a city overrun with Muslim criminal gangs, the local ERs refused to install metal detectors at the entraces because it might be perceived as an 'agressive act' by the local jihadis. It's end-stage liberalism - total suicidal nihilism. The Euros have rejected God, and chosen death over life. Do not gloat - instead look on in horror and dread, America. You are not that far behind on the road into the abyss. The same nihilistic worldview that is now destroying the ancient nations of Europe is busily metastizing its way through this nation as well.

No, the fact that the Swedish birth numbers haven't fallen so drastically have other more complex reasons. Reasons for this:
1. Sweedish women are more beautiful
2. Sweedish women bath regularly
3. Sweedish women shave their armpits.

Another dangerous and possibly worse thing than the muslims that is going to bring down the nations of Europe is the homosexual movement.

"Another dangerous and possibly worse thing than the muslims that is going to bring down the nations of Europe is the homosexual movement."
...actually, that's fueling the Muslims. It gives them unity by allowing their leaders to say to Muslims that might want to join the fun of white Europe "...see what the alternative is".
The degree of self-destructiveness by the Europeans is on a scale unparalleled in history (maybe with the exception of the last days of the Roman Empire). I can't help thinking that the Europeans will some day snap out of it and make the genocides of the 20th century look like child's play.

America is a actual united, functual, governed country, called, oddly, The United States. Europe isn't. Europe is a Continent.
There is a organization in Europe, referred as the European Union, a very suspect and doubtable democratic entity, who's main existence depends on the suspension of disbelief and the acceptance of administrative diktat.
