Kosovo Population

Kosovo’s population growth has experienced significant fluctuations over the past several decades, shaped by political, economic, and social factors. Following the conflict in the late 1990s, Kosovo saw a period of population decline due to displacement and emigration. In recent years, the country’s population growth has remained relatively modest, with estimates placing the current population at around 1.8 million people. High birth rates, especially compared to other European countries, have contributed to natural population growth, but this has been offset by continued emigration, particularly among young people seeking better economic opportunities abroad. As a result, Kosovo faces challenges related to a shrinking workforce and demographic changes, despite its relatively young population.
