That's a big drop in population since nearly all countries gain population. This will probably become a common sight, especially in Europe and Japan, where there is a aging population

It's not really a real drop though.

81.7m was only an estimate while the 80.2m figure is more factual.
The last census was made in 1987 and that was before Germany was unified and it didn't drop from there.

Also according to other federal sources, population has gone slightly up in the past few years due to more immigration.

I thought it's population was falling slightly despite immigration

Official data from the government.
On the right side:

2011
Born (alive) 663k
Deceased 852k
net migration +279k
___________
+90k population


In 2012 the net migration is +369k, so even with missing data of born/deceased people, it should increase a bit.

I don't expect a drastic change for 2013, so we should gain population for the third year in a row now.
