Over the last ten years, the country’s population grew by an average of 2% to 2.5% per year, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 when growth dipped to 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The primary contributor to the increase remains immigration. In 2024, Luxembourg recorded 25,725 new arrivals against 16,444 departures, resulting in a net migration gain of 9,281 people.
The natural balance – the difference between births and deaths – stood at +1,988 in 2024. While 6,459 births represented a 2.2% rise from 2023, deaths also increased slightly to 4,471 (up 0.9%).
Women in Luxembourg lived an average of 85.3 years, compared to 81.2 years for men.
