In the Nordic countries, Sweden has the largest population with over ten million inhabitants in 2023. Denmark, Finland, and Norway all have between 5.5 and six million inhabitants, whereas Iceland clearly has the lowest number with only 390,000 people. The population increased in all five Nordic countries over the past 20 years. Aging population In all five Nordic countries, the average age of the population is increasing. In all countries except Iceland, people aged 70 years or more make up the largest age groups. Hence, one of the issues facing the Nordic countries in the coming decades is that of a shrinking working stock, while there will be more elderly people in need of daily care. Births, deaths, and migration The two reasons behind the constantly increasing population in the Nordic countries are that more people are born than people dying, and a positive net migration. Except for Finland, the death rate decreased in all Nordic countries over the past 20 years. However, the fertility rate has also fallen in all five countries in the recent years, meaning that an increasing immigration play an important role in sustaining the population growth.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Scandinavia population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Scandinavia across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Scandinavia was 366, a 0.54% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Scandinavia population was 368, a decline of 0.81% compared to a population of 371 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Scandinavia increased by 19. In this period, the peak population was 374 in the year 2020. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Scandinavia by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Scandinavia. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scandinavia by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Scandinavia. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Scandinavia.

Denmark has, by far, the highest population density of the Nordic countries. This is related to the fact that it is the smallest Nordic country in terms of land area. Meanwhile, Iceland, which has the smallest population of the five countries, also has the lowest population density. As the total population increased in all five countries over the past decade, the population density also increased.
