What you submitted
“MichaeloKeeffe claims the foreign-born population of Luxembourg rose from 37.5% in Jan 2001 to 51.5% in Jan 2025.”
TL;DR ·Specific demographic percentages for 2001 and 2025 are not fully supported by available sources.
WHAT WE FOUND
Hello! I have carefully reviewed the provided sources to check this claim for you. While the information aligns with general trends, I have to mark this as UNVERIFIED because the specific data points for 2001 and January 2025 are not explicitly confirmed in these documents . According to an OECD report released in late 2024, 51.2% of Luxembourg's population was foreign-born, which is very close to the claim's figure of 51.5% for January 2025 . However, there is no mention of the year 2001 or the 37.5% figure in the records provided . We do know that the country's population grew to 681,973 by early 2025 and that migration remains the main driver of this growth . Additionally, more than 8,000 people obtained Luxembourgish nationality in 2025, which further highlights the country's dynamic population shifts . Because the 2001 data is missing and the 2025 figure is slightly different in the source, we cannot confirm the exact claim.
