What it is
Germany's population records the country's number of inhabitants and its evolution over time. It is a structural indicator underpinning many economic and social ratios (GDP per capita, density, per-capita rates). The figures are compiled by Destatis (the Federal Statistical Office).
How it's calculated
It is derived from censuses and from the register of population changes, updating the figure with births, deaths and net migration. A population figure is typically given for an annual reference date (year-average or year-end).
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market and pension and healthcare spending. In Germany, with natural change negative, immigration is the engine of population growth and a key variable for sustaining labour supply and the public finances.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure; intercensal numbers are estimates subject to revision once a new census or better migration statistics become available, as shown by the adjustments after the 2022 census (Zensus).
