UDP - Population by metro regions, 2000 - 2060 (JRC LUISA Reference Scenario 2016)

Historical (observations) data and projections (modelled) of total population per metro region. Historical regional data were extracted from EUROSTAT's online database and missing data were calculated in order to complete the historical series. Projection data were calculated assuming a trend scenario where past regional growth rates converge linearly to national growth rates in 2035, and from 2035 onwards, each sector grows at the same pace in all regions within each country. Projections were finally rescaled in order to respect country totals from the reference EUROSTAT projections.
