Total usual residence population for the purposes of qualified majority voting in the Council.

No applicable. 

Total usual residence population at national level.

The usual residence definition includes persons registered in the population register by the end of 31 December. All persons who are legally residents will be included in the register regardless of length of intention of stay. Tourists, diplomatic personnel, illegal immigrants and asylum seekers are not registered in the population register. As a rule it is unlikely that persons apply for residence permit for less than three months but in reality there are people who register to stay longer but leave within a few months as well as some persons have intentions to stay for only three months but later apply for an extension of the stay.

The estimation of the usual resident population with length of stay or intention of stay for 12 months or more has resulted in a total population count of 1 per mille lower than the national total population. The method has been applied for several years to validate the results and as the results are very stable the quality of the accuracy of the estimation is considered solid.

The data source is administrative registers.

The total usual residence population  transmitted by the national statistical offices to Eurostat in the framework of the Usual Residence Population data collection may differ from those available in National Accounts, Labour Force Survey or in the survey on Income and Living Conditions. The difference is given by the population coverage (see metadata specific to each domain).

The total usual residence population  transmitted by the national statistical offices to Eurostat in the framework of the Usual Residence Population data collection may differ from those available in the rest of the Demographic domain. The difference is given by the population definition (see metadata specific to each domain).

The cost of estimating a single number is limited to the cost of discussing and creating the estimation method as well as validation of the method. The persons involved have spent 100 working hours in all on the process. Henceforward the cost will be 5 working hours per year.

The Central Population Register.

Daily updates from the Central Population Register.

The register on population statistics is compiled via daily updates from the Central Population Register. The updates are stored in a database on statistics on persons (PSD).

Data from the Central Population Register is considered highly reliable with the exceptions of delay in deregistration of non-national immigrants. Data from the Central Population Register is therefore not further validated.

Not applicable.

The estimation of the usual resident population with length of stay or intention of stay for 12 months or more has resulted in a total population count of 1 per mille lower than the national total population.
