The population aged 0–14 years made up 13.4% of the total, compared to 63.7% of the population aged 15–64 years and 22.9% of those aged 65 years or older. The aging index (from population aged 65 years and over to population aged 0-14 years) was 171.8.
Net immigration is estimated at 16,355, corresponding to the difference between 96,662 migrants arriving and 80,307 migrants leaving. In 2021, net migration was estimated at -22,476 (57,120 incoming and 79,596 outgoing migrants).
