Macau’s population decreased by 5,400 between the end of June and the end of September to 671,900, the Statistics and Census Bureau (DSEC) announced yesterday.
A DSEC statement attributed the decrease to a drop in the number of non-resident workers (NRWs) living in Macau.
Females accounted for 53.2 percent of the population at the end of the third quarter.
In September, Macau’s population density stood at 20,177 inhabitants per square kilometre, based on the special administrative region’s land area of 33.3 square kilometres, according to official data.
A total of 1,038 live births were delivered in the third quarter, an increase of 51 quarter-to-quarter. There were 119 male babies per 100 female ones.
In the first three quarters, 3,203 live births were recorded, down by 531 year on year.
At the end of September, 153,841 NRWs lived in Macau.
