New figures will appear December 2014 in a new table.
Description topics
- Total population
- Demographic pressure
- Ratio between number of people aged over 65 and younger than 20, and the number of 20 to 65 year-olds. This ratio is an indicator of the pressure of the non-active population on the labour force.
- Total pressure
- The sum of the number of people aged between 0 and 20 and people aged 65 and over, in relation to people aged 20 to 65.
- Live births
- Total fertility rate
- The total fertility rate gives an indication of how many children women
have on average. In order to calculate this figure, age-specific fertility
rates observed in a given calendar year are used which apply to
every childbearing age (ages between 15 and 50). - Deaths
- Life expectancy at birth
- The number of years men or women can expect to live at the moment they are born.
- Men
- Women
- External migration
- Net migration (incl. net adm. corr.)
- Immigration minus emigration (including net administrative corrections).
