Population Statistics:
Total Population: 8,968,265
Arithmetic Density: 109
Physiological density: 6.789
Austria has a TFR of 1.5 which is below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. A TFR below 2.1 means that, on average, each generation is not producing enough children to replace itself without immigration. This means Austria is not naturally replacing its population.
Austria had 261,937 immigrants and 124,958 emigrants meaning more people came into the country then people left. Most of these people came from Eastern and Central European countries such as Germany, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, Bosnia, and Croatia.

Population Prediction:
Austria's population will most likely stay relatively similar with a possible small gain, due to its low total fertility rate of 1.5. Which is less than ideal to replace its native population, but the country should not decrease in population due to high life expectancy and a median age of around 45 years old. The next 20 years should be really stable. Austria also gains around 200,000 immigrants a year which helps curb the low TFR.
Austria is currently in the fourth stage of the Demographic Transition Model, which means that the country has low birth and death rates, leading to a stabilized population. This indicates that Austria has achieved a high level of development with good healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. The fact that the population is not rapidly increasing suggests a mature and well-established economy, and the overall situation reflects social progress and a high standard of living in the country.
