The Civil Status situation in Albania during 2018 continued to reflect the major demographic challenges facing the country: a shrinking population due to emigration and low birth rates, an aging population structure, and significant internal migration from rural/northern areas to the central/western regions. The civil registry system in 2018 also focused on the implementation of the new Civil Status Act and the digitization of records.
