Estonia's Resident Count Decreases
TL;DR: Estonia's population took a nosedive in 2024, plunging by nearly 5,000. The main culprit? A historic low in births and an increase in deaths. Despite more people immigrating than emigrating, the positive migration couldn't make up for the depleting population. 👶🏡
People are concerned about Estonia's general-news, as the country's population continued its decline in 2024, reaching a record low. This trend is primarily attributed to a significant drop in birth rates and an increase in death tolls.
