東京都の人口、２６年ぶり減　昨年１年、コロナ影響か

　東京都は３１日、１月１日時点の推計人口が１３９８万８１２９人だったと発表した。２０２１年の１年間で４万８５９２人減った計算。通年ベースで都人口が減るのは１９９５年の推計以来２６年ぶりとなった。
　推計人口は、国勢調査の確定人口を基準とし、毎月の住民基本台帳人口の増減を加えて算定している。２１年は、転出が４１万５０６０人だったのに対し、転入が４１万８９５７人で社会増が３８９７人となり、過去最低だった。新型コロナウイルスの流行が続いていることが影響したとみられる。死亡者数と出生者数の差である自然減は３万６８２人。（2022/01/31-17:44）

Tokyo's estimated population fell by 48,592 from a year before to stand at 13,988,129 as of Jan. 1, marking the first decline in 26 years on an annual basis, the metropolitan government said Monday.
   In 2021, the number of people who moved out of Tokyo totaled 415,060, while that of those who moved in came to 418,957. As a result, the net population inflow into the Japanese capital stood at 3,897, a record low. This may have been caused by the prolonged novel coronavirus pandemic, pundits said.
   The natural decrease, or the number of deaths minus that of births, came to 30,682.
   The estimated population is based on finalized population figures from the national census and reflects monthly changes in population shown in the basic resident register data.
   Tokyo's estimated population exceeded 14 million for the first time on May 1, 2020. The number has been on the decline year on year since then.
