Population
2022: Population growth to 448 million for the first time in two years
According to the results of 2022, the population of the European Union grew for the first time after the decline in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is stated in a study by the Statistical Service of the European Union (Eurostat), the results of which were released on July 11, 2023.
As of January 1, 2023, approximately 448.4 million people lived in the EU. For comparison: a year earlier, this figure was 446.7 million people. Thus, growth was recorded at 0.4%. At the same time, as noted, the natural decline in the population (the mortality rate exceeds the birth rate) was compensated by immigration. The influx of residents from other states is explained by the weakening of restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19, as well as the current geopolitical situation.
If we consider a longer period, then the EU population has grown since 1960 (354.5 million inhabitants) by 93.9 million people by January 1, 2023. The EU population increased by an average of about 0.8 million people per year from 2005 to 2022, while the average increase in the 1960s was about 3 million people per year. In 2020, the number of EU residents decreased by about 0.5 million people, and in 2021 - by almost 0.3 million more. In 2022, European countries began to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, which claimed a large number of lives.
The population of individual EU countries as of January 1, 2023 ranged from 0.5 million people in Malta to 84.4 million inhabitants in Germany. Almost half (47%) of the total population of the European Union lives in Germany, France and Italy. Although the total EU population increased in 2022, the increase was not observed in all states. So, in seven countries, negative dynamics was recorded. The largest reduction was noted in Italy (minus 179,419 people), and the smallest - in Slovakia (minus 5920 inhabitants).[1]
