Czech Republic’s population grew by 15,600 Statistics Office reports

The population of the Czech Republic grew by 15,600 last year to a total of 10,553,843 according to new information released by the Czech Statistics Office. The rise is due to new immigrants (even though the number overall was lower than the year before). In 2015, 34,900 immigrants – mostly from Slovakia and Ukraine – moved to the Czech Republic while 18,900 people moved abroad. In 2015, deaths in the Czech Republic outnumbered births. Over the course of the year 111,200 people died which is 5,500 more people than in 2014.
