The total population in European Union was estimated at 449.3 million people in 2024, according to the latest census figures and projections from Trading Economics. This dataset provides - European Union Population - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.
In 2024, Germany was the leading EU country in terms of population, with around 85 million inhabitants. In 2050, approximately 89.2 million people will live in Germany, according to the forecast. See the total EU population figures for more information. The global population The global population is rapidly increasing. Between 1990 and 2015, it increased by around 2 billion people. Furthermore, it is estimated that the global population will have increased by another 1 billion by 2030. Asia is the continent with the largest population, followed by Africa and Europe. In Asia,the two most populous nations worldwide are located, China and India. In 2014, the combined population in China and India alone amounted to more than 2.6 billion people. for comparison, the total population in the whole continent of Europe is at around 741 million people. As of 2014, about 60 percent of the global population was living in Asia, with only approximately 10 percent in Europe and even less in the United States. Europe is the continent with the second-highest life expectancy at birth in the world, only barely surpassed by Northern America. In 2013, the life expectancy at birth in Europe was around 78 years. Stable economies and developing and emerging markets in European countries provide for good living conditions. Seven of the top twenty countries in the world with the largest gross domestic product in 2015 are located in Europe.
In 2024, Russia had the largest population among European countries at ***** million people. The next largest countries in terms of their population size were Turkey at **** million, Germany at **** million, the United Kingdom at **** million, and France at **** million. Europe is also home to some of the world’s smallest countries, such as the microstates of Liechtenstein and San Marino, with populations of ****** and ****** respectively. Europe’s largest economies Germany was Europe’s largest economy in 2023, with a Gross Domestic Product of around *** trillion Euros, while the UK and France are the second and third largest economies, at *** trillion and *** trillion euros respectively. Prior to the mid-2000s, Europe’s fourth-largest economy, Italy, had an economy that was of a similar sized to France and the UK, before diverging growth patterns saw the UK and France become far larger economies than Italy. Moscow and Istanbul the megacities of Europe Two cities on the eastern borders of Europe were Europe’s largest in 2023. The Turkish city of Istanbul, with a population of 15.8 million, and the Russian capital, Moscow, with a population of 12.7 million.

apportionments_pop_2021_pred_2024.xlsx This is a dataset containing prediction apportionments of seats for the 2024 election of the European Parliament (EP). This prediction is based on population data from the 2021 census held by Eurostat. See our paper for the standard function, configurations of parameters, and d-rounding rules we used for calculation. Note: We recommend readers who are not so well informed about apportionment problems and rounding rules see https://www.census.gov/library/video/2021/what-is-apportionment.html or https://www.census.gov/history/www/reference/apportionment/methods_of_apportionment.html.
Data interpretations for this dataset are as follows. 4 worksheets: all: prediction apportionment results of all configurations under the assumption that the membership remains unchanged and the total number of seats is between 705 (current total number of seats) and 750 (statutory threshold). no_lose: prediction apportionment results under the following assumptions: (1) the membership remains unchanged; (2) any Member State does not lose any seats from the current distribution of seats; (3) and the total number of seats is between 705 and 750. increase_no_lose: prediction apportionment results under the following assumptions: (1) the membership remains unchanged; (2) any Member State with an increasing population does not lose any seats from the current distribution of seats; (3) and the total number of seats is between 705 and 750. response: prediction apportionment results under the following assumptions: (1) the membership remains unchanged; (2) any Member State with an increasing population does not lose any seats from the current distribution of seats while any Member State with a decreasing population does not gain seats; (3) and the total number of seats is between 705 and 750. Meanings of column names: State: name of Member State of the European Union p_2011: population data from the 2011 census (data source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/population-demography/population-housing-censuses/database) p_2021: population data from the 2021 census (data source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Population_and_housing_census_2021_-_population_grids&stable=1#Distribution_of_European_population) stat_2020: current distribution of seats in the EP (data source: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/eu-affairs/20180126STO94114/infographic-how-many-seats-does-each-country-get-in-in-the-european-parliament) other columns: composed in the order of "a", "gamma", "d-rounding rule", and "the total number of seats (S)".
indexes_pop_2021_pred_2024.csv This is a dataset presenting the extent of the PSI-based inequality index (index based on Population Seat Index) and the conventional PSP-based index (index based on the proportion of seats to population) of all prediction apportionments of seats for the 2024 election of the European Parliament (EP). This prediction is based on population data from the 2021 census held by Eurostat. See our paper for the standard function, configurations of parameters, and d-rounding rules used for calculation and the PSI-based index and PSP-based index used for evaluation. Data interpretations for this dataset are as follows. Meanings of column names: a: configuration of the standard function gamma: configuration of the standard function rounding: d-rounding rule used for obtaining a whole number S: the total number of seats in the prediction x_min: the minimum number of seats in the prediction apportionment x_max: the maximum number of seats in the prediction apportionment inequality index: maximum of PSI divided by minimum of PSI psp_max/psp_min: maximum of PSP divided by minimum of PSP

Key figures on the population of the Netherlands.
The following information is available: - Population by sex; - Population by marital status; - Population by age (groups); - Population by origin; - Private households; - Persons in institutional households; - Population growth; - Population density.
CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.
Data available from: 1950 Figures on population by origin are only available from 2022 at this moment. The periods 1996 through 2021 will be added to the table at a later time.
Status of the figures: All the figures are final.
Changes as of 17 July 2024: Final figures with regard to population growth for 2023 and final figures of the population on 1 January 2024 have been added.
Changes as of 26 April 2023: None, this is a new table. This table succeeds the table Population; key figures; 1950-2022. See section 3. The following changes have been implemented compared to the discontinued table: - The topic folder 'Population by migration background' has been replaced by 'Population by origin'; - The underlying topic folders regarding 'first and second generation migration background' have been replaced by 'Born in the Netherlands' and 'Born abroad'; - The origin countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Turkey have been assigned to the continent of Asia (previously Europe).
When will new figures be published? In the last quarter of 2025 final figures with regard to population growth for 2024 and final figures of the population on 1 January 2025 will be added.
