It was officially 9.981.799 at the end of November (the last monthly statistics available), but the population clock at the Statistics page now has it at 9.999.422 as of today.

Sweden grew by 136.000 people in the year to November, or 1.4%

21% of the increase is because of natural increase, 79% because of an immigration surplus.

And not only that:

The Netherlands has also passed a milestone last year: 17 million in March.

The Dutch are also growing at a healthy pace: +0.7% to November, to 17.087.536 people (up by 112.000 compared with November 2015).

Bloody hell. The Netherlands must be one of the most densely populated countries in the world let alone Europe

And at the same time, Southern Europe is seeing a fast decrease in population, particularly Greece and Portugal.

In France, the official figures have been released a few days ago:
Total population: 66.991 million
+265,000 (0,4%)
Natural balance: +198,000 (the lowest since 1976)
Migratory balance: +67,000

Number of births: 785,000, down for the second year in a row, the lowest since 1999.
Fertility rate: 1.93 (2 in 2014)

Number of births: 785,000, down for the second year in a row, the lowest since 1999.
Fertility rate: 1.93 (2 in 2014)

For the past 2 years, Austria had a bigger migratory balance than France, despite France being 8x as big.

In 2015, the migration balance was around 113.000 and in 2014 it was around 72.000 people.

That is because Austria is not only a magnet for asylum seekers from the Middle-East and North Africa, but also a magnet for people from other EU-countries (mostly Germany and Eastern Europe).

The begin-2017 figures are out next month, but based on the first 3 quarters, I expect the population to have increased by between 85.000-100.000 people last year (+1.0 to 1.1%).

In 2015, growth was 1.4% - one of the highest rates since WW2.

Also, the recent wave of immigration has also reversed Austria's declining birth rate:

It seems likely that 2016 had around 87.000 births, which is 12.000 more than 10 years ago.

The birth rate rose from around 9/1000 to 10/1000 now, while deaths remained largely stable at 9/1000.

A few years ago, Austria had slightly more deaths than births, now births will likely outnumber deaths by around 10.000

That might be why they trying to make French come, I've been recently contacted to work in those both countries without I applied to anything. It came from a recruitment company in tie with an EU agency, apparently an EU campaign for developping IT jobs is going on, or something.

More seriously about Portugal, would be interesting to see if the fiscal policy they set for French retired people would have any a little significant demographical impact.

As to Sweden, each time i hear about populations of countries like Sweden, my knee jerking thought is 'heck, not even Paris', which is part of what makes comparison with such countries sometimes falling apart maybe.
