Note 1:

Based on preliminary report of “CENSUS”, regarding the Population and Housing 2011 in Albania, indicates that the population of Albania is 2,831,741 inhabitants, which shows the number of the resident population in the country. While the source of the Ministry of Interior (General Directorate of Civil Status), indicate that the total population of Albania is 4,271,396 (year 2010), which shows the number of registered population in the country (according to the civil registers).

As the preliminary report of the CENSUS provides only the total number of the population resident in the country, and not any other information regarding the group-age of the population in the country, we are going to use the Ministry of Interior information as a population basic information for preparing our reports.
