International statistics and estimates
According to statistics from the European Union, the actual population has been reduced by at least 230,000 people who emigrated into European Union member states between 1998 and 2011.[7] Further Albanian news sources estimated at October 2012 that the real population is closer to the sum of 1,744,237 people who are accounted within all of the health funds of the country.[8][9] According to Bozhidar Dimitrov, the Bulgarian authorities have granted 87,000 to many of those emigrants a Bulgarian passport, as of 2012, which requires that they declare to be ethnic Bulgarians.[10][11] Since Bulgaria's entry into the European Union, and under pressure from fellow European Union members, Bulgaria imposed more stringent rules and measures for the acquisition of a Bulgarian citizenship and passport.
The provisions of the Ohrid agreement to elevate any minority language if the minority in question is above 20% of the population of any municipality into a co-official language for that municipality has created friction within the government, and between officials of different political and ethnic interests, resulting in the indefinite postponement of the census for almost twenty years until it was finally conducted in 2021.[12]
The process of industrialization and urbanization after the Second World War that caused the population growth to decrease involved the ethnic Macedonians to a greater extent than Muslims. Rates of increase were very high among rural Muslims: Turks and Torbesh (Macedonian Muslims) had rates 2.5 times those of the Macedonian majority, while Roma had rates 3 times as high. In 1994, Macedonians had a TFR of 2.07, while the TFR of others were: Albanian (2.10), Turkish (3.55), Roma (4.01), Serb (2.07), Vlachs (1.88) and Others (3.05). The TFR by religions was: Christian (2.17, with 2.20 for Catholics and 2.06 for Orthodox), Islam (4.02) and others (2.16).[26]
However, it is unlikely that this high minority TFR has continued since then in North Macedonia, as Balkan fertility elsewhere (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo) has dropped sharply toward the European average. A more recent survey[27] pegs Muslim fertility in North Macedonia at 1.7, versus 1.5 for non-Muslims.

Second World War that caused the population growth to decrease involved the ethnic Macedonians to a greater extent than Muslims Rates of increase were very high among rural Muslims Turks and Torbesh Macedonian Muslims had rates 2 5 times those of the Macedonian majority while Roma had rates 3 times as high In 1994 Macedonians had a TFR of 2 07 while the TFR of others were Albanian 2 10 Turkish 3 55 Roma 4 01 Serb 2 07 Vlachs 1 88 and Others 3 05 The TFR by religions was Christian 2 17 with 2 20 for Catholics and 2 06 for Orthodox Islam 4 02 and others 2 16 26 However it is unlikely that this high minority TFR has continued since then in North Macedonia as Balkan fertility elsewhere Albania Bosnia and Herzegovina Kosovo has dropped sharply toward the European average A more recent survey 27 pegs Muslim fertility in North Macedonia at 1 7 versus 1 5 for non Muslims Ethnic structure of SR Macedonia by settlements 1961 Ethnic structure of SR Macedonia by settlements 1971 Ethnic structure
