   Albania: more births than deaths, yet the population shrinks — because people leave

   Births minus deathsArrivals minus departures

   In 2023 births exceeded deaths by 5.38k, but 25.4k more people left than arrived, so the population fell by 20k (UN estimates). People born there and living abroad: 44% of its population (2024).
