Title: Germany's population grows for the first time in 10 years Post by: Tender Branson on August 01, 2012, 07:18:27 AM thanks to immigration:
End-2011 population: 81.843.743 End-2010 population: 81.751.602 Total growth: +92.141 2011 births: 662.712 2011 deaths: 852 359 2011 natural decrease: -189.647 2011 immigrants: 958.156 2011 emigrants: 678.949 2011 immigration balance: +279.207 () https://www.destatis.de/DE/Publikationen/Thematisch/Bevoelkerung/Bevoelkerungsstand/VorlBevoelkerungsfortschreibung5124103119004.pdf?__blob=publicationFile ... Of course, the 2011 Census results will be released in November and it is estimated that the population is actually closer to 80 million rather than 82 million, because there have been many people in the registers in the past 25-30 years that either moved abroad without de-registering in their home towns, or moved within Germany without de-registering or simply died. This should be especially the case in Eastern Germany after the fall of the Wall.

And now I want to hear someone speak German with a Turkish accent.

Probably because other Europeans are moving there, with it being the only safe haven in the Union. Right. Here's how Germany's 2011 immigration balance (immigrants from a country, minus emigrants to the same country) looks like for individual countries: +66.000 Poland +36.000 Romania +22.000 Bulgaria +17.000 Hungary +14.000 Greece +12.000 Spain +10.000 Italy +8.000 Afghanistan +7.000 Russia +5.000 Latvia +5.000 Lithuania +5.000 India +5.000 China +5.000 Iran +4.000 Kosovo +4.000 Iraq +4.000 Slovakia +4.000 France +4.000 Czech Republic +4.000 Pakistan +4.000 Syria +3.000 Holland +3.000 Portugal +3.000 Ukraine +2.000 UK +2.000 Brazil +1.000 Serbia +1.000 USA -1.000 Austria -2.000 Turkey -11.000 Switzerland https://www.destatis.de/DE/Publikationen/Thematisch/Bevoelkerung/Wanderungen/vorlaeufigeWanderungen5127101117004.pdf?__blob=publicationFile Title: Re: Germany's population grows for the first time in 10 years Post by: minionofmidas on August 01, 2012, 02:36:22 PM Probably because other Europeans are moving there, with it being the only safe haven in the Union.
