Sources and interpretation
UN WPP 2024 · Medium variant. Births, deaths and net migration use UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant baseline projections. Population is rebased to this dashboard’s 2025 estimate and accumulated from rounded annual balances. Scenario, not forecast.
The 2025 baseline is this dashboard’s estimate. Future population is accumulated from rounded annual balances, so these values can differ from the publisher’s original population series. These projections describe scenarios, not forecasts. The 35 tracked countries are not an exact geographic total for Europe.
