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 of Paraguay and how it changes over time. The official figure is produced by the National Statistics Institute (INE) and underpins a wide range of economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses and updated between census years using births, deaths and net migration. It is usually released as a headcount referenced to an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape Paraguay's potential growth, the size of its labour market, consumption and public spending on pensions and healthcare. A still-young population offers a demographic dividend if matched by jobs and skills.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series, and inter-census figures are estimates that can be revised once new censuses or improved migration statistics become available.
