MORE THAN 1.230.000 INHABITANTS IN BRUSSELS IN JUST 7 YEARS
The Brussels Institute for Statistics and Analysis (IBSA) presents of the key figures of the Brussels-Capital Region in many areas, especially in demographics.
The IBSA estimates that the global brussels population will be around 1,230,635 in 2020, as we were just over 1 million inhabitants in 2010.
The increase of the Brussels population is indeed to link with legal and illegal immigration (and further regularisations of illegal immigrants), the role of Brussels as capital or the European Union with lots of EU-civil servants coming from the new countries (as Croatia enters into the Union mid2013). The brussels population will also be younger (-18 year) and more feminine.
The increase of the Brussels population will have as consquences that extracosts will have to be made by the brussels regional authority to create more schools, kindergarten, and adapted road and rail indrastructures (as the brussels subway will soon also reach its congestion point).
Lots of challenges in Brussels, indeed.
