Footnotes

Population 1 January. Membership of a religious and life stance organisation which has been recognised by the Ministry of the Interior is registered in the National Register of Persons. Persons belonging to a religious and life stance organisation that has not been recognised by the Ministry or whose status is unknown are classified as Other and not specified. Due to the small size of gender neutrals, they are still counted among males and females. The method for estimating the population was revised in March 2024 and the time series updated from 2011 onwards, see details in the working paper.
