Key Insights:
- Dramatic Growth Surge: Total population growth surged dramatically from 2.5‰ in 2017 to 9.5‰ in 2018-2019, driven entirely by migration increases.
- Migration Volatility: Net migration showed extreme fluctuations, jumping from 1.5‰ in 2017 to 8.7‰ in 2018, peaking at 9.1‰ in 2019, then dropping to 0.1‰ in 2021.
- Natural Population Decline: Natural growth turned consistently negative from 2020 onwards, reaching -1.3‰ in both 2022 and 2023, indicating demographic challenges.
- COVID-19 Impact: 2021 marked the lowest total growth (−0.5‰) due to minimal migration (0.1‰) and negative natural growth (−0.7‰).
- Recent Recovery: 2022-2023 showed recovery in total growth (5.7‰ and 3.1‰) through renewed migration, despite continued natural decline.
