The table below presents information on national population projections produced by National Statistical Institutes or relevant agencies of UNECE member countries, and by selected International Organizations (Eurostat and the United Nations Population Division).
The database was established in 2018 by UNECE and is one of the outputs of the UNECE Task Force on Communicating Population Projections, together with the Recommendations on Communicating Population Projections | UNECE (see also Demographic projections | UNECE)
The database was last updated in June 2022.

  • SORTING THE TABLE: The table can be sorted by clicking on the header of each column. For instance, entries can be sorted by 'Type of projection model used' by clicking on the header of that column.
  • ADDING NEW ENTRIES: The blue button below will create a new row in the table.  If you cannot see the blue button below to add an entry, you do not have the required editing permissions and will need to request access (see CONTACT AND HELP below).
