📘 Population Estimation Basis – Methodological Overview 📊 The estimation of the resident population at the national and municipal level is based on a demographic approach that takes into account the three main components of population change:
👶 Natality (births)
⚰️ Mortality (deaths)
🚶‍♂️ Migration (internal and international)
The core formula for calculating the estimated population is: Estimated population = Base population + Births – Deaths ± Migration
📅 At the municipal level, the resident population as of 31 December of each year (Pt) is calculated using the following formula: 𝑃 𝑡 = 𝑃 𝑡 − 1 + ( 𝐿 𝑡 − 𝑉 𝑡 ) + ( 𝐼 𝑡 − 𝐸 𝑡 ) P t ​ =P t−1 ​ +(L t ​ −V t ​ )+(I t ​ −E t ​ ) where:
🧍‍♂️ Pt – Resident population as of 31 December of year t (e.g., 2024)
📆 Pₜ₋₁ – Resident population as of 31 December of year t–1 (e.g., 2023)
👶 Lt – Resident births during year t
⚰️ Vt – Resident deaths during year t
🚪 It – Inflows (immigration) during year t
🚶‍♂️ Et – Outflows (emigration) during year t 📂 Data Sources
🗂️ The population estimation is based on a combination of statistical and administrative data, including:
🧮 Preliminary population estimates (e.g., for the year 2023)
🏠 Data from the 2024 Population and Housing Census
📈 Vital statistics on births and deaths (provided by KAS)
🏛️ Administrative data from:
🏘️ Municipal authorities
🎓 Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MASHTI)
🌍 International statistical sources, particularly from destination countries with high levels of Kosovar migration 📐 All data sources have been verified, processed, and analyzed using rigorous statistical methods to ensure a reliable, comparable, and sustainable basis for estimating the population at both national and subnational levels.
📊 Data for the period 1921–2011 are based on population censuses.
📈 Data after 2011 are based on statistical estimates.
