What drives population change?

Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.

Migration contribution Deepens decline

Negative net migration adds to natural decline.

Czechia, 2024 projected: natural change −25,221 people, net migration −86,169, WPP adjustment 0, total population change −111,390. Negative net migration adds to natural decline.

Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a 0-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
