Key Insights:
- Migration Impact: Net migration showed remarkable volatility, starting at 2.3‰ in 2012, peaking dramatically at 12.2‰ in 2022, before declining to 7.2‰ in 2023.
- Total Growth Pattern: Population growth rate closely mirrors migration trends, reaching its maximum of 10.9‰ in 2022, driven primarily by external migration.
- Natural Growth Stability: Natural population growth remained relatively stable throughout the period, ranging from 0.0‰ to 1.9‰, showing consistent but low natural increase.
- COVID-19 Impact: In 2020, natural growth increased to 1.4‰ while migration decreased to 4.4‰, resulting in moderated total growth of 3.0‰.
- Recent Crisis Response: The 2022 surge in all indicators (total: 10.9‰, migration: 12.2‰) likely reflects response to international crises, followed by normalization in 2023.
