About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of inhabitants in Albania and how it changes over time. Published by the statistics office INSTAT, it is a structural indicator underpinning many economic and social ratios (GDP per capita, density, per-head rates, etc.).
How it's calculated
INSTAT derives the figure from population censuses and statistics on births, deaths and net migration, updating the population to an annual reference date. In Albania heavy emigration weighs decisively on the balance.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. In Albania, emigration and ageing are shrinking the population, a structural challenge for the public finances and labour supply.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure; inter-census estimates are subject to revision once new censuses or better migration data arrive. Albania's intense emigration makes measuring the true population especially hard.
