!!!Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Population Development: Since 1869 (first Austrian census) the 
Austrian population has risen from 4.9 million to 7.8 million. The 
main reasons for this demographic development were the high rate of 
immigration to Vienna in the 19%%sup th/%  and 20%%sup th/%  centuries 
up until 1914 and again from the 1960s onwards, the high birth rate 
and increasing life expectancy. The birth rate decreased in the 
interwar period and has again been on the decline since the mid-1960s.
