Between 1792 and 1815, more than 10% of British men ended up in the army or navy. The resulting labor scarcity - combined with abundance of skilled mechanics - drove technology diffusion and grew British productivity in the long run. (CEPR, July 2026)

[OC] Migration's contribution to population change in Europe, 2025

Source: Eurostat

The map shows net migration plus statistical adjustment per 1,000 residents.

Eurostat calculates this by taking the total population change and subtracting the part explained by births and deaths. What remains is mostly net migration, but it can also include corrections or inconsistencies in population records.

Positive values mean this component increased the population. Negative values mean it reduced it. Values are rounded to one decimal place.

Georgia is omitted because Eurostat reports a very high combined value, but does not separate net migration from statistical adjustments. Presenting the whole figure as migration would therefore be misleading.

No older data were used to fill gaps. Hatched countries do not have a complete published value for 2025. This does not mean their value was zero.

The reference period runs from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2026.

Methodology: Eurostat metadata for demo_gind
