Luxembourg's demography in figures Edition 2023

As of January 1, 2023, Luxembourg had 660,809 inhabitants, or 15,412 more than in 2022 (+2.4%). Since 1981, the population of Luxembourg has increased by 81%.As a result of the slightly higher share of men in migration, the share of men in the population has been slightly higher than that of women since 2014: 50.3% against 49.7% respectively (the surplus of men is 4,079). The proportion of foreign nationals has risen steadily over time, from 26.3% in 1981 to 47.4% in 2023. Overall, however, this proportion has been falling slightly since 2018 (47.9%) as a result of the impact of the acquisition of Luxembourg nationality since the 2009 law on dual nationality. The age structure of the Luxembourg population has changed over recent decades. There are fewer and fewer young people aged 0-19 in relative terms, while those aged 40-64 and those aged 80 and over are increasing in relative numbers. This ageing of the population can be seen more clearly in the age pyramids.
