Adjusted population
Indicator description
The full-scope censuses conducted every ten years show a comprehensive picture of the number and composition of the population. For determining the annual population number in the period between two censuses, the starting point is the population number of the last census (currently the census with the reference date of 1 October 2022), and from this, the population was estimated by using natural increase or decrease data available from the statistics of vital events until 2000. From 2001 international migration is also taken into account.

The pool of potentially available labour and the number of job vacancies were slightly lower than in 2024. In 2025, gross average earnings rose by 9.0%, a more moderate increase than a year earlier. Owing to the more subdued wage growth and a somewhat higher consumer price index than in the previous year, the purchasing power of wages increased by 4.8%.

Snapshot, 2025 – Vital events
In Hungary, fewer children were born in 2025 than a year earlier. The number of deaths also declined, but to a lesser extent than the number of births, so the rate of natural decrease accelerated. A lower surplus of international migration than in the previous year slightly reduced the population decrease; nevertheless, the country's population fell by 51 thousand people. The decline in the number of marriages came to a halt. Marriages remained essentially at the previous year's level, while the number of divorces increased.
