About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of inhabitants in Austria and how it changes over time. Published by Statistics Austria, it is a structural indicator underpinning many economic and social ratios (GDP per capita, density, per-head rates, etc.).
How it's calculated
Statistics Austria updates the population from the population register and statistics on births, deaths and net migration, with a figure referenced to an annual date. Immigration is the main driver of Austria's demographic growth.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. In Austria, with low birth rates and ageing, immigration sustains the working-age population.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure and inter-census estimates are subject to revision. Even with a robust population register, recent migration flows are hard to measure precisely in real time.
