During the 19 th and 20 th centuries, population growth rate has been at 0. 7% to 0. 8%, with a doubling time of ca. 90 years. In the later 20 th century, the growth rate has fallen below 0. 7% (1980 s: 0. 64%; 1990 s: 0. 65%), and in the 2000 s it has risen again slightly (2000– 2006: 0. 69%), mostly due to immigration. In 2007 the population grew at a much higher 1. 1% rate, again mostly due to immigration. For 2008, the population grew 1. 6%, a level not seen since the early 1960 s.
