Albanian demographic and agricultural trends

Overview

Recent demographic and economic data from Albania highlight significant shifts in population structure and agricultural development.

Population statistics from late 2025 indicate a gender imbalance, with approximately 28,000 more women than men. This trend is attributed to higher male emigration and greater female longevity. While women represent 65.3% of higher education graduates, they face lower labor force participation and higher unemployment rates than men, alongside a 4.6% gender pay gap.

Regional demographic variations are also noted, with Tirana maintaining a working-age population of 60.5%, which exceeds the European Union average. Concurrently, the country has seen an increase in agricultural mechanization, rising to 34,770 units by 2025, with significant concentrations of machinery located in the Fier and Korça counties.
