Denmark - Changing of Population Pyramid & Demographics (1950-2100)

This is a Stats Visual Archive of Population Pyramid & Demographic Indicators in Denmark from 1950 to 2100. Demographic indicators : total population, population growth rate, total fertility rate, potential support ratio, natural increase rate. source : UN World Population Prospects 2019 video : stats visual archives - twitter : - subscribe URL : [TREND] (Technical Terms & Definitions Below) The population of Denmark, as registered by Statistics Denmark, was million in January 2020. Denmark has one of the oldest populations in the world, with the average age of 41.9 years, with males per female. Despite a low birth rate, the population is growing at an average annual rate of % because of net immigration and increasing longevity. Since 1980, the number of Danes has remained constant at around 5 million in Denmark and nearly all the population growth from 5.1 up to the 2018 total of 5.8 million was due to immigration. According to 2017 figures from Statistics Denmark, 86.9% of Denmark’s population of over 5,760,694 was of Danish descent, defined as having at least one parent who was born in Denmark and has Danish citizenship. The remaining 13.1% were of a foreign background, defined as immigrants or descendants of recent immigrants. With the same definition, the most common countries of origin were Poland, Turkey, Germany, Iraq, Romania, Syria, Somalia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia and its successor states. More than 752,618 individuals (13.1%) are migrants and their descendants (146,798 second generation migrants born in Denmark). [TECHNICAL TERMS & DEFINITIONS] *AGE STRUCTURE (POPULATION PYRAMID) The composition of a population as determined by the number or proportion of males and females in each age category. The age-sex structure of a population is the cumulative result of past trends in fertility, mortality, and migration. **POPULATION GROWTH RATE The number of people added to (or subtracted from) a population in a year due to natural increase and net migration expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of the time period. ***TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR) The average number of children that would be born alive to a woman (or group of women) during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the age-specific fertility rates of a given year. ****POTENTIAL SUPPORT RATIO A number of people age 15–64 per one older person aged 65 or older. This ratio describes the burden placed on the working population (unemployment and children are not considered in this measure) by the non-working elderly population. *****RATE OF NATURAL INCREASE (RNI) The rate of natural increase refers to the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths occurring in a year, divided by the mid-year population of that year, multiplied by a factor (usually 1,000). It is equal to the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate. This measure of the population change excludes the effects of migration. #demographics #Denmark #statistics #population #Copenhagen
