Vienna, 19 May 2010
– In 2009 Austria recorded an international net-migration gain of
20 596 people, about 40% less than in the previous year (+34 436). This
reduction is mainly the consequence of a significant increase of emigrations
abroad. In 2008 migration statistics, which are derived from data of
the Central Register of Residence, registered an inflow of 107 785 people
compared to an outflow of 87 189. As in previous years, Austrian citizens
had a negative migration balance of -5 100. However, a migration gain
of 25 696 people was recorded for foreign citizens. Yet, this was about
only two thirds the number of 2008 (+39 412).
