1.3. Factors for population development 4<br />
The different factors of population development and the effects on the region can be analysed in<br />
detail with the example of the year 2011.<br />
Generally we can assert that in almost all districts and regions the natural population<br />
development with regard to birth rates is negative. Only in the districts Weiz and Graz there<br />
were more births than deaths in the year 2011, in Graz around 14% and in Weiz 17%. With<br />
regard to the regions, the birth rate is currently only positive in the region East-Styria. In 2011,<br />
there were 1450 births too few, which means 1,19 births for every 1000 inhabitants, to keep<br />
the number of inhabitants stable in Styria.<br />
Due to the negative birth rates, an immigration of foreigners is necessary to keep the<br />
population stable in Styria. Due to a positive migration balance by 0,33% in 2011, a population<br />
growth by 0,22% was possible. However, the migration balance varies strongly in all Styrian<br />
regions.<br />
While the Styrian central region shows a clearly positive migration balance of 0,96% and the<br />
regions South-West Styria with 0,15% and East-Styria with 0,09% show a slightly positive<br />
migration balance, other regions in Styria (South-East Styria, upper Styria East, upper Styria<br />
West and Liezen) show a negative migration balance.<br />
