About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Estonia and how it changes over time. Published by Statistics Estonia, it is a structural indicator underpinning GDP per capita, population density and a range of per-head ratios.
How it's calculated
Compiled by combining population registers with data on births, deaths and migration under the country's register-based system. It is released as a population level at an annual reference date, with periodic revisions.
Market implications
Demographics shape Estonia's potential growth, its labour market and spending on pensions and healthcare, a sensitive issue in a country facing ageing and emigration. It does not move markets in the short term but frames the long-run outlook.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series and figures are revised as new register data or better migration statistics arrive; small but rapid migration flows can noticeably alter the count.
