During 2018 Bangladesh population is projected to increased by 1,990,408 people and reach 167,857,715 in the beginning of 2019. The natural increase is expected to be positive, as the number of births will exceed the number of deaths by 2,463,130. If external migration will remain on the previous year level, the population will be declined by 472,722 due to the migration reasons. It means that the number of people who leave Bangladesh to settle permanently in another country (emigrants) will prevail over the number of people who move into the country (to which they are not native) in order to settle there as permanent residents (immigrants).
