Purpose and justification of the indicator

The indicator Total population growth per 1,000 inhabitants shows the relative growth of the population in a certain area. In addition to natural movement (births and deaths), migration also affects the number of inhabitants. In general, it is considered that migrations are directed to regions with better economic opportunities, with the aim of improving the living standards of migrants. The immigration of the working population to a certain area means an improvement of the development and demographic potential of the area, which is consequently reflected in the health of the population. On the other hand, immigration from very different cultural backgrounds presents new challenges for the health system and often requires adjustments in approaches to improving lifestyles.

Definition of indicator

Total population growth means the ratio between the sum of natural and migration growth in a given area in a calendar year and the population in the middle of the same year in a given area, multiplied by 1,000.
