POPULATION PYRAMID
Luxembourg seems to have a stationary population pyramid. This is due to the fact that their birth rate is relatively low but the overall quality of life is high. By looking at the pyramid, the relative birth and death rates seem to be balanced keeping the population relatively the same in the future. Luxembourg is a privileged country that has both good economic and social development and thus reflecting in the relatively stationary population pyramid.
DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION
I believe Luxembourg should be in stage four of the demographic transition. The natural rate of increase is only 0.3% which means it is very stagnant which aligns with the low stationary zone. Due to good healthcare, education, and job access, children seem to have become more of a liability explaining Luxembourg’s stagnant population.
MIGRATION
NET-IN
16.33 migrants per 1,000 persons
PUSH FACTORS
Housing is a difficult since demands for rental exceed the supply. Due to this, renting is also very expensive. Because many people make a lot, the cost of living is also more than the world’s average.
PULL FACTORS
Luxembourg, known for it economic powerhouse, is ranked to be one of the best countries to live in. With its country heavily dependent on banking, steel and industrial sectors, its home to many banks. This economic prosperity causes the country to be very safe (low crime rates) and promote beautiful towns and cities..
refugees and asylum seekers
Luxembourg had 1249 asylum applications. Over half of them came from from Syria and Eritrea. Refugees that are accepted receive a monthly grant of up to 225 euros per adult and children receive access to education.
