'The concept of the ‘shrinking region’ is a recent one (the term was coined at the beginning of the current decade), even though this phenomenon goes back many years. What is essentially new here is that in some cases the phenomenon of depopulation has now come to affect entire regions, including urban areas (‘shrinking cities’).The very definition of the concept is still the subject of debate. Even if the phenomenon of population decline is linked to other events, such as ageing, it is preferable to stand by the simplest definition, which is the reduction in the number of inhabitants of a particular region over the course of a generation. This is therefore the option that is commonly adopted.

The emergence of shrinking regions are well-known phenomena in countries such as Germany, USA, Russia or Japan, but are quite new in other geographical areas, such as southern Europe. According to the most recent predictions, by 2030 many regions of Northern Spain, Italy, Bulgaria and Romania will be shrinking regions heavily affected by very strong ageing processes, both in urban and rural areas.'

niet dat de hele regio aan het vervallen is (ghetto). Bij sluiting vertrekken er NOG meer mensen en met name voor krimpregio's is dat onwenselijk. Ze proberen waarschijnlijk juist mensen te stimuleren om naar de regio te komen. Denk ik toch aan iets als: depopulat....

en belangrijk criterium bij de besluitvorming was dan ook welke effecten de sluiting van een inrichting heeft op het DJI-personeel in relatie tot de regionale werkgelegenheidssituatie. Krimpregio’s hebben daarbij bijzondere aandacht.

Hier hebben ze het over "verval" en dat vind ik wat heftiger dan "krimp"

maybe something like "region with a shrinking population" or "depopulation areas", as suggested by Freek

'Wonen in een krimpregio: hoe voelt dat nou?'

Ondanks dat Nederland tot een van de dichtstbevolkte landen van de wereld behoort, staat bevolkingskrimp hoog op de politieke agenda.' (http://www.mejudice.nl/artikelen/detail/wonen-in-een-krimpre... )

How about the context in which this word is used. A sentence or two please?
