The number of inhabitants in a given area as of 1 January of the reference year in question. Population data may be based on information available from the most recent census, adjusted by the components of population change (the number of births and deaths, and the net result of migration into and out of the territory concerned). Alternatively, population data may be compiled from administrative registers.
This indicator presents the number of live births by sex.
Absolute number of deaths registered during the reference year and crude death rate, meaning the ratio of the number of deaths during the year to the average population in that year, expressed per 1 000 persons.
The three indicators are all expressed as the change in the number of persons per 1000 persons of average population: total change, natural change (live births minus deaths) and net migration (including statistical adjustment). The net migration plus adjustment is calculated as the difference between the total change and the natural change of the population.
