Demographics of Germany Overview of the demographics of Germany

The demography of Germany is monitored by the Statistisches Bundesamt. According to the most recent data, Germany's population is 83,695,430 making it the most populous country in the European Union, and the nineteenth-most populous country in the world. The total fertility rate was rated at 1.53 in 2020, which is far below the replacement rate of 2.1. For a long time Germany had one of the world's lowest fertility rates of around 1.3 to 1.4 however there has been a small increase in recent years. Due to the low birth rate there have been more deaths than births in Germany in every year since 1972, which means 2021 was the 50th consecutive year the German population would have decreased without immigration. It is the only country in the world to have such a long-term natural population decline. The decline has been somewhat mitigated by immigration: in 2019 the number of people with a foreign background was 26%. Under this category there are counted foreigners, naturalized citizens, ethnic German repatriates from east Europe and their children.
