According to official data, as of January 1, 2025, Belarus's population was 9 million 109 thousand people, 47 thousand less than the previous year. However, the country's official statistics do not consider those who left the country.
According to some sources, Belarus's population may be lower than 9 million due to a large wave of emigration after 2020. Belarusian officials express optimism, hoping 2030 the population will reach 9.1 million.
