Population in Portugal 2016 - European Statistical System (ESS)

The resident population in Portugal at 31 December 2016 was estimated at 10,309,573 persons (31,757 fewer than in 2015). This results in a negative crude rate of total population change of -0.31%, reflecting the combination of negative natural and migratory balances.

Although there was an increase in the number of live births (87,126) this increase was insufficient to compensate the number of deaths (110,535) and therefore the natural balance remained negative (-23,409 in 2016, compared to 23,011 in 2015).

For a quicker understanding of these data, Statistics Portugal has released the infographic and video which can be accessed in our Portal.
