Population growth, as defined by World Development Indicators, refers to the change in the number of individuals in a population over a specific period, usually expressed as a percentage of the total population.
Key Takeaways
Austria's population growth slowed significantly in the 1990s, declining to just 0.1% by 1996. This period was marked by low birth rates and limited immigration, reflecting broader European demographic trends. Growth began to recover in the early 2000s, supported by increased immigration and improved economic opportunities. The influx of refugees during the European migration crisis contributed to a peak of 1.1% in 2015.
In recent years, growth has stabilized at 1.0%, reflecting sustained immigration and Austria's attractiveness as a hub for skilled workers. However, the country faces long-term demographic challenges due to its aging population and declining fertility rates, which will likely impact future growth.
