Citation formats

Since 1972, Germany's population has experienced more deaths than births in each year; therefore, Germany's population has been in a natural decline for over five decades. 2022 also marked a new milestone, as Germany's natural population saw a reduction of more than 300,000 people, and this has been the case in every subsequent year. Despite Germany's natural population falling every year for over 50 years, its population has remained high and even grown in many of these years due to a high net migration rate.
