5. Albania

Population Growth Rate: 0.19%

Albania experiences a positive yet sluggish population growth rate, estimated at approximately 0.19% as of 2023. This sluggish growth is attributed to a decline in the birth rate. In 2022, the natural increase in population amounted to only 675 people, indicating stagnation in population growth across the country. The dwindling birth rates have resulted in an aging population, creating a demographic landscape where the elderly outnumber the younger population.
