Globally, about 25 percent of the population is under 15 years of age and 10 percent is over 65 years of age. Africa has the youngest population worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 40 percent of the population is below 15 years, and only three percent are above 65, indicating the low life expectancy in several of the countries. In Europe, on the other hand, a higher share of the population is above 65 years than the population under 15 years. Fertility rates The high share of children and youth in Africa is connected to the high fertility rates on the continent. For instance, South Sudan and Niger have the highest population growth rates globally. However, about 50 percent of the world’s population live in countries with low fertility, where women have less than 2.1 children. Some countries in Europe, like Latvia and Lithuania, have experienced a population decline of one percent, and in the Cook Islands, it is even above two percent. In Europe, the majority of the population was previously working-aged adults with few dependents, but this trend is expected to reverse soon, and it is predicted that by 2050, the older population will outnumber the young in many developed countries. Growing global population As of 2025, there are 8.1 billion people living on the planet, and this is expected to reach more than nine billion before 2040. Moreover, the global population is expected to reach 10 billions around 2060, before slowing and then even falling slightly by 2100. As the population growth rates indicate, a significant share of the population increase will happen in Africa.

Lithuania LT: International Migrant Stock: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Lithuania – Table LT.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available.

The crude birth rate in Lithuania decreased by 0.6 live births per 1,000 inhabitants (-7.69 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. The rate thereby reached its lowest value in recent years. The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births in a given population, expressed per 1,000 people. When looked at in unison with the crude death rate, the rate of natural increase can be determined.Find more statistics on other topics about Lithuania with key insights such as total fertility rate, infant mortality rate, and total life expectancy at birth.

This statistic shows the total population of the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from 1950 to 2020. Although the populations are quite different, all three countries followed a relatively similar trend throughout the last seventy years. Each country's population was devastated during the Second World War, Lithuania losing over 14 percent of the population, and Latvia and Estonia losing 12.5 percent and 7.3 percent respectively. In 1950 the populations were at around one, two and 2.5 million people respectively, and all three populations grew steadily until 1990 (although Estonia's grew at a slower rate than the other two countries). Independence movements After the Second World War the three Baltic states were incorporated into the Soviet Union, but when the Soviet economy began failing in the 1980s these states became increasingly dissatisfied with Soviet policies in the region. With growing nationalism in the area, the countries coordinated peaceful protests aimed at restoring independence to the region, in what would become known as the Singing Revolution, which involved a human chain that involved approximately 2 million people and stretched for over 675 kilometers connecting the three capital cities. Large declines following independence Within two years of the revolution all three countries became independent from the Soviet Union, and this change coincides with the drops in population of all three countries. By 1995 the populations of each country had dropped, and at a faster rate in Estonia and Latvia than in Lithuania. This decline has continued for the past 30 years, with the numbers falling at every five year interval for each country. By 2020, Estonia's population will have dropped by almost 240 thousand people, Latvia's by over 770 thousand, and Lithuania's by almost one million. The fall of the Soviet Union, combined with the Baltic nations joining the EU in 2004, meant that emigration was much easier and many from the Baltics went to Western Europe in search of work. Along with a declining natural birth rate, the populations of each country have been in steady decline and this trend is expected to continue into the next few decades, although new figures do suggest some growth for Estonia.

This graph shows the total population of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the years between 1922 and 1935, as well as the total number of males and females. After the First World War the Baltic states began claiming their independence from tsarist Russia, as the events of the Russian Revolution took place. Inter-war Estonia The Estonian War of Independence from 1918 to 1920 led to the country's first period of independence, until it became occupied by the Soviet Union again in 1940 during the Second World War. After Estonia gained independence the country experienced a period of political turmoil, including a failed coup d'etat in 1924, and was hit hard by the Great Depression in 1929 before things became more stable in the mid 1930s. Between 1939 and 1945 Estonia's population was devastated by the Second World War, with some estimates claiming that as many as 7.3 percent of all civilians perished as a result of the conflict. From the graph we can see the population grew by 119 thousand people during the 12 years shown, growing from 1.107 million to 1.126 million. The number of women was also higher than the number of men during this time, by 67 thousand in 1922 and 68 thousand in 1934. Inter-war Latvia For Latvia, Independence was a hard-won struggle that had devastated the population in the late 1910s. Similarly to Estonia, the advent of independence brought many challenges to Latvia, and a period of political and economic turmoil followed, which was exacerbated by the Great Depression in 1929. After economic recovery began in 1933, and a coup d'etat established stricter control in 1934, the Latvian economy and political landscape became more stable and the quality of life improved. This lasted until the Second World War, where Latvia became one of the staging grounds of Germany's war against Soviet Russia, and approximately 12.5 percent of all civilians died. From the data we can see that Latvia's population between 1925 and 1935 grew steadily by 95,000 in this decade, with the number of men and women growing at a similar rate. Inter-war Lithuania Lithuania's experience in the interwar period was slightly different to that of Latvia and Estonia. The end of the First World War led to a growing movement for independence from German, Russian or Polish influence, however these countries were reluctant to cede control to one another, and independence was finally achieved in 1922. A right wing dictatorship was established in 1926, which maintained political and civil control until the outbreak of the Second World War, however interference from other nations, particularly Germany, was ever-present in Lithuanian economic activity. From the graph we have only one set of figures, showing that the Lithuanian population was just over 2 million in 1929, with approximately 5 percent more women than men. World War II again devastated Lithuania's population, with almost 14.4 percent of the entire population falling during the conflict.

The purpose of the study: to explore the views of the Lithuanian population on the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine with a particular focus on everyday life practices. Major investigated questions: respondents who are working were asked how safe they currently feel in general. Given the block of questions, they had to assess how the quarantine has affected their daily routine in general in various areas (financial situation, work - 7 choices in total). The survey was about the most important positive and negative effects on a personal level, and whether one had to study remotely in autumn (2020) (school, college, university etc.). Those who had to were asked to rate a block of statements related to participation in remote learning or studying (I have the right conditions at home for remote learning/studies, I have the necessary technical means for remote learning/studies - 6 choices in total). Next, all respondents were asked whether they agree that in the future in Lithuania (irrespective of the pandemic) the opportunities for students to study remotely should continue to be expanded as much as possible. There was a question about the number of children in the household under the age of 18 (inclusive) (including adopted and fostered children). Those respondents who have such children were asked to indicate their age. The survey was about whether any of these children were currently attending school and whether the school-age children living in the respondents' household had had any remote learning this autumn. Given the block of questions, the respondents had to assess the statements related to remote learning for school-age children living in a household (a child has suitable household conditions for remote learning, a child has the necessary technical tools for remote learning - 6 choices in total). They were asked whether they would agree to further have remote learning opportunities expanded for older children in Lithuania (irrespective of the pandemic), and how attendance at sports, art or other leisure activities has changed this autumn. For those who attended classes remotely, there was a block of statements provided, related to attending sport, art or other leisure activities remotely (I have suitable household conditions for remote leisure activities, I have the necessary technical tools for remote leisure activities - 6 choices in total). Next, all Lithuanian respondents were asked whether they would agree that in the future in Lithuania (regardless of the pandemic), the possibilities to participate in leisure activities remotely would continue to be expanded as much as possible and whether they know at least one person who has been diagnosed with a COVID-19 virus (coronavirus infection). Those respondents who had experienced fever, cough, sore throat or difficulty breathing were asked what had they done about it and whether they had been able to contact the coronavirus hotline and clinic. All respondents were asked if they had to stay in self-isolation for a while and if they would have the facilities to isolate themselves if necessary. After listing a few subjects, they were asked to indicate whether they felt anxious (you will contract COVID-19 virus, you will not receive proper treatment if you contract COVID-19 virus - 5 choices in total). The opinions on who is more responsible for controlling the pandemic, respondents or the government, were analysed. The survey went on the intention to get vaccinated once the coronavirus vaccine becomes available and the state of purpose. The opinions on when the coronavirus pandemic will end and whether it will be possible to travel abroad as easily next summer (2021) as it was possible before the coronavirus pandemic started were analysed. Respondents were asked to indicate what they envisioned as their holiday destination for the next summer and where they had travelled before the pandemic. They were asked whether they felt anxious about leaving the house and being in public spaces with people. Later, the survey about the Lithuanian population went on about having ever received unpaid help from anyone who was not a relative during the quarantine period, and if they had ever received unpaid help from anyone who was not related. Given the block of statements about various experiences, respondents were asked whether these statements relate to their current experiences (there are enough people I can turn to in times of trouble - 6 choices in total). At the end of the survey, they were asked whether they had needed to see a doctor at all over the last month. Socio-demographic characteristics: health, average monthly family/household income, employment, gender, size of place, age, marital status, education, household size, size of apartment in which one lives in square metres, nationality.

The purpose of the study: to find out the opinion of the Lithuanian population on the socially relevant issues during the rapid political, social and economic transformation of the country. Major investigated questions: respondents were asked how they evaluate the Law on the Restoration of the Independent State of Lithuania promulgated by the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania in the 1990s on March 11 and the declaration of the USSR government on this law. It was asked whether the newly elected Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania fulfilled the expectations. It was clarified whether the respondents agree with the fact that Lithuania was included in the USSR against its will in 1940 and whether it is necessary to prove to Moscow in other ways that most people want Lithuania to be free. Further, the political activities of various Lithuanian political forces and movements and M. Gorbachev were evaluated. Respondents were asked whether they would live better or worse at the end of the year than they do now and how the well-being of the Lithuanian people would change in the next decade. Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey indicated how they thought Lithuania's economic independence should be implemented. They were asked whether they supported the proposal to sell state-owned enterprises to private individuals and how the state should exchange rubles for the new currency if new currency units were introduced in Lithuania. It was asked whether it might be necessary to change jobs this year and whether it would be difficult for respondents of their profession to find a job. It was asked whether Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey were satisfied with their family's financial situation. Opinions were asked about divorce, unauthorized abortion, the death penalty, and dealing with people infected with the AIDS virus. Furthermore, it was asked how many of the respondents have children, how many they will have and how many they would like to have if all the necessary conditions were given. It was asked whether it is good for children to attend preschool institutions and how best to provide material support to families raising children. Please indicate how preschool children should be cared for. Further, it was explained how convenient it would be for the mother to work if there are preschool children in the family, what is most necessary for the mother to raise the children at home by herself, and whether there is a law that requires the mother (until the child reaches the age of 8) to work part-time (during the week) with a corresponding lower salary. Respondents were also asked what kind of person can be called cultural now, whether there are many honest, decent people in Lithuania now, and what should be done to increase the number of such people. The residents of Lithuania who participated in the survey also rated the statements, "People live so badly now that they often have to act dishonestly and unfairly" and "Everyone would like to work less and get more." At the end of the survey they wanted to know if the respondents would like to earn more money in their free time and were asked to reveal their views on rock music. Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, education, social status, nationality, income per family member, place of residence.

A household is classified as moderately or severely food insecure when at least one adult in the household has reported to have been exposed, at times during the year, to low quality diets and might have been forced to also reduce the quantity of food they would normally eat because of a lack of money or other resources.;Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO);;

The purpose of the study: to explore the views of the Lithuanian employed population on the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine with a particular focus on changes in employment and working practices. Major investigated questions: respondents who are working were asked how safe they currently feel in general. Given the block of questions, they had to assess how the quarantine has affected their daily routine in general in various areas (financial situation, work - 7 choices in total). They were asked how they assess the risk of contracting COVID-19 personally. They were asked to assess the financial situation of the household over the upcoming 12 months and to provide their work status. Opinions on how life in Lithuania and their personal lives have changed over the last 12 months and when the coronavirus pandemic will end were analysed. Later, respondents were asked whether there was a change in the average number of working hours, earnings, workload and stress at work since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. There was a need to know how work relationships with colleagues, supervisors and clients have changed as a result of the pandemic and whether respondents had received help at work from these individuals since the pandemic. They were asked if they had experienced any inappropriate behaviour at work from supervisors, colleagues or clients (e.g., harassment, intimidation, terror, psychological abuse, insults, threats, physical aggression) and where or to whom they would first turn if they encountered such inappropriate behaviour in a workplace. The survey assessed the views on whether the coronavirus pandemic has increased the personal risk of losing a job. The aim was to find out whether there was a period of self-isolation due to the pandemic and its impact on respondents' incomes. Lithuanian workers who had lost their jobs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked what economic activity they were engaged in. They were asked whether it be difficult or easy to find a new job that suited them if they were to lose their job now. Later on, the survey went on to find out how the respondents' current employer takes care of the safety of its employees and whether there is an existing trade union or a works council in a workplace, and how the activities of these institutions have changed since the pandemic. The question about an average monthly net income was asked. Those Lithuanian workers who had to work remotely in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic were asked to rate a number of statements related to remote work (I have the right conditions at home for remote work, I have the necessary technical tools for remote working - 8 choices in total). The aim was to find out whether the employer provided the necessary tools for remote work (computer, telephone, printer, etc.) and what impact remote work has on work performance. The statement that "once the pandemic is over, I will no longer have my own workspace at my workplace or I will have to share it with another worker" was assessed. All respondents were then asked whether they would like to work remotely in the future and whether the coronavirus pandemic might require them to change their current qualifications and/or elevate their existing skills. They were asked whether they intend to get vaccinated once the coronavirus vaccine becomes available and whether they have any loans. At the end of the survey, there was a block of statements provided about different experiences and respondents had to answer whether they were suitable to describe their current experiences (there are enough people I can turn to in times of trouble - 6 choices in total). Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, place of residence, size of settlement, marital status, education, household size, age of children, nationality, economic activity, category of workers, square metres of living space, number of rooms in the apartment.

The purpose of the study: to study the well-being of older people (50 years and older) in Lithuania and their participation in the labour market and social life. Major investigated questions: respondents were asked how they would describe their health status. In a block of questions, they were asked about the difficulties they have in the activities due to health problems (difficulties in seeing, even if they wear glasses, in hearing, even if they use a hearing aid, etc.; a total of 6 questions). They were asked if they had any chronic physical or mental health problems, diseases, or disabilities. They were also asked if there were any activities that the respondents were unable to perform independently and without assistance in the past month. Those who were unable to do so were asked who helped them with these activities. Next, respondents were asked to rate the financial situation of the household. They were asked how safe or unsafe they felt in the area where they lived. Respondents' trust in various groups of people (family, neighbours, personal acquaintances, etc.; a total of 6 groups) was measured. Professionals and retirees were asked how often they had personally experienced poor physical working conditions, excessive work intensity, etc. at their current/last job (a total of 5 questions). Respondents were asked if they intended to stop working immediately upon retirement. This was followed by a block of statements that allowed respondents to assess the working conditions that would or would not encourage them to continue working after retirement (a total of 7 statements). Respondents were asked whether they had participated in higher education, vocational or general education in the last 12 months, and whether they had attended courses, workshops, theoretical seminars, etc., or received on-the-job training. They were asked if they had helped anyone in the last month who was not a relative of the respondent without financial compensation. A block of questions asked how often they had participated in social activities in the last 12 months (a total of 8 activities). With regard to the past 6 months, respondents were asked to describe their relationship with others living in the household. Respondents were asked if there was at least one person in their household with whom they could talk openly about important issues. All respondents rated the frequency and type of communication they had with people (a total of 6 types) not living in the household with them in the past 12 months. Next, respondents rated statements about various experiences (a total of 6 statements) and a sense of need (by family, people in the neighbourhood, etc.; a total of 3). They were asked how often they use the Internet. Those who use the Internet were asked to indicate on which topics they used the Internet at least once (independently). They were then asked if they voted in the national election, if they followed their country's news on the listed channels in the last 7 days (a total of 4 channels), and if they participated in social and political activities (a total of 8 forms). Respondents were asked how often they had experienced negative situations in the past 12 months in public places or institutions because of their age (a total of 3 situations). Those who had experienced such situations were asked to be more specific about where they had encountered negative attitudes toward older people. Satisfaction with the accessibility and quality of public health services was also assessed. It was asked whether respondents or people close to them had used long-term care services (a total of 4 types). It also examined what benefits respondents or people living in the household had received at least once in the past 12 months. They were asked if they had provided material support to at least one of their parents (or that of their spouse/partner) and children in the past 6 months. On the contrary, respondents were asked whether they themselves had received support from the listed individuals. A block of questions asked how often respondents engaged in activities outside of paid work (a total of 5 questions).
