More Hungarian babies are born in Germany than in some of Hungary’s counties

According to Destatis, the German Federal Statistical Office, fewer Hungarians go to Germany but never before were that many Hungarian babies born in the country than in 2018.

As we reported before, the number of foreign nationals in Germany almost reached 11 million according to statistics by Destatis. Furthermore, the number of foreign nationals in Germany increased by 2.7% (by 291,515 people) from 2017 to 2018. The number of Hungarian citizens living in Germany increased as well:

212,360 Hungarians were registered at the end of last year,

which is 5,335 more than in 2017.

According to their data, the emigrant peak in the case of Germany was in 2012-2013, so those who wanted to leave did so shortly after the German job market was opened for the Hungarian labour force in 2011.

Regarding the Hungarians living in Germany, there are 1.5 times more men than women, and the average age of the men is 37.5 years while it is 35.5 years in the case of the women. Furthermore,

the great majority of them is between 25 and 45 –

Now comes the bad news. The data mentioned above means that mostly those leave Hungary who are in the age of planning to have babies. Therefore, it is not surprising that

1,860 Hungarian children were born in Germany last year.
