Analysis# Belarus Population Analysis
Belarus's population of 9.13 million represents a significant decline, with a -3.34% contraction over the past decade—a stark reversal from its 1960s peak growth period. Ranked 98th globally, the country has experienced persistent demographic challenges, likely driven by emigration following geopolitical instability and consistently below-replacement fertility rates. The shift from growth during the 1964 peak decade to sustained population loss underscores a fundamental transformation in Belarus's demographic trajectory over the past 60 years.
