Demographics of Luxembourg

Summary
Demographic features of the population of Luxembourg include population density, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. The following is an overview of the demographics of Luxembourg. Demographic topics include basic statistics, most populous cities, and religious affiliation. The population of Luxembourg as of 1 January 2022 was 645,397 (52.87% Luxembourgers and 47.13% of foreign nationality). The people of Luxembourg are called Luxembourgers. The population of Luxembourg in 2022 is 650,364. 1.8% (2020 est.) 1.62 children born/woman (2020 est.) Source: UN World Population Prospects (2020 est.) 0–14 years: 16.73% (male 54 099; female 51 004) 15–24 years: 11.78% (male 37,946; female 36 061) 25-54 years: 43.93% (male 141,535/female 134,531) 55-64 years: 12.19% (male 39,289/female 37,337) 65 years and over: 15.37% (male 43,595/female 52,984) The following table chronicles factors such as population, birth rates, and death rates in Luxembourg since 1900. In 2020, 64% of children born in Luxembourg were to mothers of foreign origin, both from other EU member states and from non-EU countries. Luxembourg does not formally collect ethnic or racial data of its citizens. The foreign population resident in Luxembourg currently numbers over 296,465, corresponding to 47.4% of the total population (compared to 13.2% in 1961). That means there are currently almost as many immigrants as there are native citizens. These immigrants are overwhelmingly nationals of EU countries (accounting for over 80%), by far the greater part of whom originally come from Portugal, Italy and the two neighbouring countries, France and Belgium. For some years, there has also been a large increase in the number of immigrants and asylum seekers from the countries of Eastern Europe, and especially the new republics to have emerged from the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro). These immigrants include a considerable proportion of young people.
