According to data compiled by INSTAT, the official statistics agency, analysis of the 2023 census has revealed concerning figures regarding economic hardship among the population. The data indicates that more than 10% of the Albanians currently face substantial difficulties in meeting their basic daily living needs. Reviewing the Income and Living Standards Survey data, there has been a reported decrease in the percentage of families experiencing significant livelihood challenges, falling from 18.0% in 2021 to 10.2% in 2024.
However, the source clarifies that this statistical improvement is not reflective of an actual rise in living standards. Instead, the adjustment is attributed to data calibration procedures implemented following the new demographic structure established by the census. Based on these revised metrics, the current estimate places the number of individuals suffering from extreme poverty at approximately 245,015.
The indicator used to determine this measure is calculated using the updated parameters provided by INSTAT. The findings highlight the scale of poverty within the nation. While the survey data shows a numerical decrease in reported hardship, the underlying statistics emphasize that a significant portion of the populace continues to struggle economically.
The official reports provide a detailed snapshot of the living standards, cautioning that the statistical refinement should be interpreted alongside the methodological adjustments made during the census revision process.
