Population projections report

The population projections report gives projections for °ÄÃÅÓÀÀû and each of its 49 census divisions, by single year of age and gender, from the base year of 2022 to 2046. These projections were published by the °ÄÃÅÓÀÀû Ministry of Finance in the summer of 2023.

  • changes in the base population
  • changes to reflect the most recent trends in:
    • fertility
    • mortality
    • migration

The report features highlights of the results and a description of the projections methodology and the assumptions used for each demographic component.
