MISLEADING

Hello! It’s interesting to look at these demographics, but the claim is a bit off with its specific numbers. While it is true that Luxembourg became the first OECD country to have a majority foreign-born population 1, official reports from late 2024 place this figure at 51.2%, not 51.5% 1, 2. Additionally, the provided sources do not confirm the 37.5% figure for January 2001; in fact, some notes suggest that 2001 data for this metric may be unreliable or off 2. It is also very easy to confuse foreign-born status with nationality; while over half the population was born abroad, the share of non-Luxembourgish citizens residing in the country was actually 47% as of January 2025 7. The country’s total population reached 681,973 at the start of 2025, with growth continuing to be driven primarily by migration 3, 6, 9.
