Demographics of Encarnação

This article is about the demographic features of the population of Encarnação, including population density, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population.

Population
The current population of Encarnação is 2,146,982, which can be compared to the low number of only 762 thousand people in 1950 and with an increase in +13.6% from 2010. The Encarnaçian islands have historically been one of the fastest growing colonies in Avalonia, thanks in part to the large Jungastian subsidies and the wide availability of work for most of the 20th century causing an influx in Jungastian and Albaterran immigration into the nation.

Decreasing levels of fertility are causing the number of people under the age of 15 to decrease dramatically in the last decades, while the population of elderly people above the age of 65 are increasing. The median age has increased to 32.6 in 2010 from 21.6 in 1980. As of 2020 the estimated population of the country is 2,146,982.

Emigration
Emigration from the islands has been relatively low thanks to a large availability of work and robust government services. Still, a number of Encarnaçian immigrant communities exist across several nations in Anterra, primarily in Jungastia where the largest number of Encarnaçian immigrants lives, followed by Albaterra. Most emigrants choose industrialized nations as their new home country, and return migration is rare.

Religion
Many religions exist within the islands of Encarnação, but the vast majority of the islander populations follows some form of Christianity, with 88% of the population self-identifying as some form of christian. The variants of Christianity within the island are varied, specially protestants, due to the large number of Artemian immigrants the island received through its later history post-independence from Jungastia. Protestantism, while not the most popular religion, is still the religion with the most varied number of believers, with the locally founded Church of the Lord Risen gaining a large number of followers in the past decades since its foundation in 1996. Islam is the smallest religion in the island, with most believers being workers from Kesh that moved into the island looking for new work opportunities, or brought in as employees by the many companies currently within the island.
