11 July is World Population Day. This day of action has been observed since 1989 and is intended to encourage people to take a critical look at the growth of our population and its global implications. As well as highlighting the current situation, it also draws attention to the problems that such growth inevitably gives rise to. On this occasion, we are depicting population density (inhabitants per square kilometre) in the Centrope region. The map clearly shows the urban agglomeration areas and its surroundings. Also note the higher population density on the main traffic axes west and south of Vienna.

On the occasion of International Day of Parents, celebrated on 1 June, we are taking a look at average age of young persons leaving the parental household. The indicator represents the age at which 50 % of the population no longer live in a household with their parent(s). The data is coming from the EU labour fource survey (EU-LFS), which is the largest sample survey of European households or individuals. The chart shows stable figures over the last 10 years, both in each of the Centrope countries and in the pan-European average. Interestingly, the figures are highest for Slovakia, which has the youngest average population age within Centrope.

1 June is the International Day of Parents. On this occasion, we are taking a look at the development of the birth rate (live births per 1,000 inhabitants) in the Centrope region. The slider maps compare the years 2013 and 2023. In average, the numbers are lower for 2023 throughout the whole region. This could simply be a classic statistical outlier, as the lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic led to a temporary rise in the birth rate, which in the following years caused saturation effects resulting in lower numbers of births.

On the occasion of International Family Day, celebrated on 15 May 2026, we are taking a look at the development of the total fertility rate in the Centrope countries. This indicator depicts the mean number of children that a woman could have during her childbearing age, taking into account the current average number of live births in different age groups. The chart shows an overall increase until 2021, since then the fertility rate is decreasing again. Data source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tps00199/default/table
